STONY PLAIN, ALBERTA, CANADA – Mounties west of Edmonton have now released photos of two stolen peacocks as the search continues for the purloined peafowl.
They say they are concerned for the well-being of the bedazzling birds.
The pair were crated in a pickup truck stolen in Stony Plain on Sunday.
Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a white 2005 Ford F350 truck.
Peacocks are male peafowls, large birds known for their extravagant feathered tail displays spotted with eye-shaped patterns in green and gold.
With a shrill call that can carry for long distances, peacocks can serve as loud watchdogs against predators and provide natural pest control by eating insects and snakes.
