A tropical pheasant has escaped from Plantasia in Swansea

The bird is described as not being dangerous in any way, but that it might be shy and scared.

A spokesperson for Plantasia said: “We are asking local residents to keep an eye out for a pheasant that has found its way out of Plantasia Tropical Zoo, it’s important that the non-native bird returns as soon as possible to its loving home.

“The pheasant is not in any way dangerous but it might be shy and scared which is why we are asking anyone who spots it to report that sighting to us immediately rather than approaching the bird. Please call us on 01792 474 555 or email plantasia@parkwood-leisure.co.uk.

“An internal investigation is underway to ensure this is not repeated going forward.

“Please help us find our pheasant!”
