Appeal to find Eric the Emu's owner

The RSPCA is appealing for information about who may own an emu found wandering up a farm driveway near Newmarket, Suffolk.

The large bird, nicknamed Eric, is not native to the UK and it is thought he is probably an escaped exotic pet. We are keen to return him to his owner if they can be traced.

He was discovered by a member of the public on The Street in Kirtling on Saturday evening (15 August), and was kept in their stable overnight.

The bird is now in RSPCA care and appears to be in good health.
