It’s April, and you know what that means — there’s a peacock on the loose in Pennsylvania.
In April 2025, animal control in Philadelphia responded to reports of a peacock wandering the streets of the City of Brotherly Love. Now, a year later, police in Lower Moreland Township, located about 45 minutes from Philly, say they also have a peacock problem.
“LMPD responded to the report of a loose Peacock in the area of Frederick Rd and Robert Rd. neighborhood,” police say in a statement. “The Peacock could not be captured. LMPD consulted with wildlife experts, who concluded that the Peacock may roam the area, as they believe the Peacock will return back to its home.”
“Should any resident see the Peacock, please do not attempt to capture as it can/may become aggressive during this time of the year,” the statement continues. “LMPD is aware of the loose Peacock and will be monitoring the situation. Should anyone know the owner, please contact LMPD so we can help reunite them to their pet.”
Sounds like the Eagles aren’t the only birds in Pennsylvania.
