Police in Missouri were forced to capture a loose ostrich.
Ostrich
The St, Charles County Police Department explained how officers were called out when the bird was seen wandering loose and walking amidst traffic.
Police were able to wrangle the flightless creature, named Clyde, and return him to his owners.
The department posted on Facebook: "There are no routine service calls in policing. Last Friday, 'Clyde the Ostrich' went on an unsupervised walk through his neighbourhood. Luckily, Sgt. Davis and D Platoon officers located him and safely escorted him home.
Officers did not reveal how Clyde escaped or how long he was on the loose for.
The incident went down well on the social media site, with one user commenting: "Good job, looks like he cooperated with law enforcement."
