“911 dispatchers state the peacock is very vicious,” a Citizen alert warned of the fowl Bronx Zoo escapee.
A peacock more than ruffled feathers while roaming wild in the Bronx — turning “very vicious” and biting a bewildered onlooker who thought he was the one flying high.
The peacock, a likely escapee from the nearby Bronx Zoo who is now nicknamed Raul, remained on the lam early Thursday, hiding up a tree in the Krystal Community Garden on East 180th Street after an all-night standoff.Mike told an onlooker in a video interview at the scene that he’d been “standing outside chillin’, smoking and whatever” when he saw the large, colorful pheasant casually strutting its stuff.
“We chased it,” Mike said, with him and others trying to corner it next to a gate to stop it running into traffic.
