UPI – Police in Mississippi, United States (US) are on the hunt for an escaped emu accused of ‘felony fleeing and disorderly conduct’. The bird, dubbed ‘Emu the Great’, was last spotted on Highway 6 near a local car dealership and Co-Op.
Authorities issued a playful wanted poster for the Australia-native bird, urging residents to keep an eye out for the feathered fugitive.
“Please use all caution if you come in contact with this suspect,” the poster reads. “Is known to charge at anyone standing in the way of its freedom.”
The department cautioned anyone who spots the emu not to honk their car horns.
“She is scared and the owners have got a team helping them to get her back home safe,” the post said. “If you spot her please notify us. We will get in touch with the owners.”
