Is it’s first name Chris?Escapee Rhea?
At least it left you alone. Child 2 has, through college had to handle Alpacas and they can spit at you. So don't stop at the herd between Culcheth and Glazebrook.
Not somewhere down the Great Glen was it?Cycling down a rural lane today and noncholantly walking towards me was this creature. Not the slightest bit bothered and seemingly enjoying his/her stroll.

Think he had a p*****e as he was pushing his bike before dumping it. Bl**dy Ostriches eh, dumping bikes willy nilly.That's a shame - if you'd been quicker you might have got a photo before he got off his bike.
Many years ago, driving home late at night, we hit a wallaby with our car. It was a glancing blow and we don't know if it survived but it was something of a surprise to see this thing hop out of the hedge. This was on the South Oxon/West Berks border.Not on a ride but in the mid 70s while climbing at The Roaches in Staffordshire I was halfway up a route when I heard somebody shout: "Look! There's a kangaroo!" I looked down and sure enough there was a wallaby bouncing through the bushes and rocks, hotly pursued by a couple of photographers. Wallabies were not uncommon at one time after an escape from a private zoo but I seem to remember reading that they haven't survived.
Mrs B tells me there is a small holding with some near St Lewis'.No. Near me. A place called Croft.
Around about the same year in the same place, my Aunt exclaimed "look a baby kangaroo" we all thought she had gone daft as there was nothing to see, it was only years later that we learned that the Roaches had a small colony.Not on a ride but in the mid 70s while climbing at The Roaches in Staffordshire I was halfway up a route when I heard somebody shout: "Look!
