A peacock is on the loose in eastern Ontario.

Ontario Provincial Police say officers have received calls regarding a loose peacock, which was last seen on Hillbrook Road in Augusta Township.

"This cunning bird escaped capture from our officers by flying up a tree!" police said on Twitter.

OPP Const. Ann Collins says police don't know where the peacock came from, and are concerned it may get hurt.

On Facebook, someone joked, "Danny the Domville peacock in on the lam again, wanted for flight from an officer."

Peacocks on the loose are apparently not unusual in Augusta Township.

Last August, someone posted a photo in the Facebook "Augusta Township is Awesome" group of a peacock wandering on Skakum Road.
