Have you seen George the Emu?

George is a young emu that has gone missing from Trevor & Tracey Fox’s farm and was last seen on New Year’s Eve.  Trevor tells us the story.

“It’s now been nearly two weeks without a single sighting or clue.  I’m starting to think that he was either stolen or someone hit him on the road and doesn’t want to say anything.”

“The family are heartbroken, and we would really rather just know if that’s the case, so an anonymous note would be better than nothing!”

“George is 9 months old, so not fully grown, we hatched him from an egg back at the end of March (2018).  “He lived with us in the house for a short while and then spent his time on the yard here, with the other poultry.”

“He’s a lovely character and he used to sleep on your lap when he was smaller. We have a small farm here so was just like part of our animal family.”

“He was spotted on New Year’s Eve having found a gap in some brambles and reached the bottom of our drive, but the neighbour who saw it forgot to ring us and now that’s the last sighting or clue we have.  We have searched everywhere, even in hard to access areas, but nothing. There’s even a reward available, even if it’s just for bad news because we really want to know what happened.”

“Unofficially he was called George, as our other emus are called Vic, Bob and Miss Johnson, but we hadn’t had him/her DNA tested for sex yet.  You can’t tell the sex of an emu accurately without DNA or them reaching maturity.”

“We’re asking the public to let us know if they hear of any emus turning up anywhere or for sale, please let me know.”

George the Emu went missing from Pontsian, (Maesymeillion end), anyone with information is asked to contact either Trevor or Dyfed Powys Police anonymously on 101, quoting ref 361 of 1st Jan date.  Trevor is also offering a reward for George’s safe return.
