BIRD ESCAPES: Large rhea bird on the loose around east Hertfordshire


- last updated Mon 14 Apr 2014

A village in east Hertfordshire is on the lookout after a large bird similar to an emu was seen wandering in the fields.
The rhea went missing from its owner four weeks ago in Brent Pelham - it is around four feet tall and has been spotted several times, but, with it being able to hit speeds of 40 miles per hour, so far no-one has been able to catch it.

Ray Murdoch caught sight of the bird on a bike ride through Nuthampstead. He managed to take a few photos before it ran off.
