Loose emu wanders into New Zealand road

May 30 (UPI) -- A New Zealand man captured video of an unusual scene that played out in his neighborhood when a loose emu wandered out into traffic.

Logan Walden posted a video to Facebook showing the emu wandering around in the road near his Green Island home on Monday.

Walden said he and his family helped block traffic while waiting for authorities to arrive on the scene.

"The animal control guy said he never had to catch an emu in his 20 years on the job," Walden said. "He was like, 'we don't have an emu guy.'"

Walden said the bird's owner eventually showed up to escort the emu home.
