A large bird is on the loose and local authorities do not find it “emu-sing.”

According to a report from The News of Orange County, there have been multiple sightings of an escaped emu in Orange and Chatham counties.

“I am not sure exactly when we got our first call about this emu but I can tell you it was at least a week before last Wednesday,” Orange County Animal Services spokesperson Tenille Fox told the news outlet.

Fox said Orange County Animal Services has been in contact with Chatham County Animal Control in regards to the bird and an attempt to corral the emu did not work.

Authorities said that, should the emu be spotted, residents should not try and capture the bird. Full-grown emus can be over six feet tall and weigh close to 100 pounds.

According to The News of Orange County, Orange County Animal Services has confirmed that the emu does not belong to any known emu owners in Orange County. But they have not ruled out the possibility that the bird escaped from an unknown owner in Orange or Chatham counties.
