Peafowl, meaning males and females, left the Bronx Zoo on Memorial Day -- and some didn't come home.
The Bronx Zoo says it picked up five of the rogue birds after seven ditched the park. They're free-roaming, the zoo says, so they occasionally stray. They typically don't go farther though and return on their own.
One of the remaining two peafowl on the loose later ended up back at the zoo as well. Zoo officials say they're monitoring the lone bird still out there.
Video posted to the Citizen app showed a bird in a tree at one point.
It's not the first time birds have flown the coop at the Bronx Zoo. Last April, a peacock made his escape. Raul flew back on his own, though, about 24 hours later.
A peacock nicknamed "Raul" is back in the Bronx Zoo almost 24 hours after he broke out. Gaby Acevedo reports.
