STONY PLAIN, ALBERTA, CANADA – Mounties west of Edmonton have now released photos of two stolen peacocks as the search continues for the purloined peafowl.
They say they are concerned for the well-being of the bedazzling birds.
The pair were crated in a pickup truck stolen in Stony Plain on Sunday.
Police are asking the public to be on the lookout for a white 2005 Ford F350 truck.
Peacocks are male peafowls, large birds known for their extravagant feathered tail displays spotted with eye-shaped patterns in green and gold.
With a shrill call that can carry for long distances, peacocks can serve as loud watchdogs against predators and provide natural pest control by eating insects and snakes.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 28, 2026.
