SANDY, Ore. (AP) — Clackamas County animal control officers are looking for the owner of an emu found running in traffic along an Oregon highway in the Sandy area, southeast of Portland.
KPTV says the large flightless bird is in the custody of a local rancher while authorities wait for its owner to turn up.
A state trooper, a Clackamas County sheriff’s deputy and an Oregon Transportation Department worker helped corral the bird Wednesday morning along Highway 26 with the help of some citizens.
Acting Clackamas County sheriff’s spokesman Nick Watt says the emu seems in good spirits.
