In an anecdote highlighting the everyday oddities of law enforcement, Boulder County Animal Protection Officers Perkins & Brownd recently found themselves on a unique assignment. Tasked with corralling a peahen that took a fancy to wander near the intersection of 75th and Baseline, these officers likely had a story to tell at the end of their shift. While details on the incident are sparse, the interplay between wildlife and urban boundaries in Boulder is not uncommon, often leading to peculiar calls for our local Animal Protection unit.
