According to CBC, the emu's origins are a mystery, but before being spotted at the airport, the large bird was also spotted running alongside a train and in another part of town. After a jaunt through the city, the bird eventually made its way to the fields surrounding the airport, where it was subsequently captured.

"It's a pretty funny sight to see an emu next to the airfield and having the planes land beside it," Chrisie Berry, Community Relations Manager for Prince George Airport told."He was okay with it, he was not fazed at all. He was never a threat to aviation; he stayed on the right side of the fence. So we were happy about that as well."

Berry told CBC that officials with the airport originally called animal control to help capture the bird; however, she says animal control claimed they were not"comfortable" handling the emu. After placing several phone calls to various local veterinarians, they made contact with Blackspruce Farm Tours. The farm reportedly has a petting zoo that includes several emus and offered to take the animal.
