Dobson had earlier put out a public plea for locals in the Doncaster area to keep an eye out for the 6-foot bird, which escaped from her owner's property Thursday.
Dobson said Ethel was likely confused and frightened after being chased away from local fields during recent sightings.
Police and RSPCA officers had been following-up on sightings of the bird in recent days.
