Police in Lincolnshire have urged motorists to stop chasing an on-the-run emu in off-road vehicles.
Officers in Boston said there had been sightings for a “couple of weeks” in the Spilsby area but the bird is at risk of being injured and people should not approach it.
It’s currently unclear where the emu escaped from.
Posting on Facebook, police said: “Experts have been trying to gain her trust by feeding her in the same spot for a while, however, efforts are being scuppered and staff and volunteers are concerned because members of the public have been chasing her in 4x4s.
“If she continues to be agitated in this way, there is a risk of her running into the path of oncoming vehicles causing harm to herself or others.”
