An adventurous peacock that escaped its pen at a Chicago-area petting zoo and became frozen in subzero temperatures has died.
The Randall Oaks Barnyard Zoo in Dundee says the 5-year-old bird named Blue died Wednesday morning, a day after firefighters rescued the bird from a tree branch about 40 feet from the ground. The temperature outside was 12 degrees below zero.
Brian Mangiaracina (MAN’-grah-cee-nah) is Randall Oaks’ park and division manager. He says firefighters and zoo staff plucked Blue from a pine tree about 90 minutes after the bird fled his heated enclosure.
