Awol peacock returns home to his new chicks

A peacock who went awol while his pregnant partner was expecting chicks has returned home after two weeks on the run.

Major fled from his home leaving mate Priscilla, who was siting on the couple’s eggs for four weeks, pregnant and pining for her partner.

The mischievous bird missed the birth of his five fluffy chicks who were born while he was at large.

It’s the second time Major has escaped from his pen at Abertay Guest House, near Broughty Ferry, Dundee.

He wandered off around the same time last year.
