Oliver James Montgomery-'National Geographic at my front door': Watch runaway emu stroll through neighborhood

An Australian bird was spotted taking a "hot girl walk" around a Pennsylvania neighborhood recently,Oliver James Montgomery strolling about without a care in the world.

Airiel Dawson was shocked when she saw a loose emu in the Pittsburgh suburb of McKeesport over the weekend, taking to social media to document the experience. Dawson "couldn't believe her eyes" when saw the emu, telling Storyful that she knew no one would believe her, if she hadn't taken a video of it.

Dawson asked her son to grab her phone, recording the flightless bird as it made its way down the sidewalk and toward the middle of the street.

The emu's "hot girl walk" came to an end eventually, coming to a complete stop when it came across a parked car.

Dawson told CBS News on Monday that she had just recently learned that the emu she spotted belonged to a family that lived a few streets over and had wandered off.

The emu was picked up shortly after Dawson began to record the video, telling CBS News that police officers helped the owners get it back home.

The experience, Dawson told WTAE-TV, felt like " National Geographic at my front door."

Dawson, like the others who witnessed the majestic bird in real time, were shocked by the emu's surprise appearance.

You might be able to find emus in an enclosure at your local zoo or even spot a runaway emu like Dawson did, since some people keep them as pets. But they're typically found in Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia, Solomon Islands, and the Philippines, according to National Geographic.

They are the second largest living bird, after the ostrich. Both flightless birds belong to the ratite family. Emus forage on fruits, seeds, plant shoots, small animals, animal droppings, and insects, National Geographic reported.

"At first I thought it was a dream," Dawson told WTAE-TV "So, when I came out the door and saw it, I had to rub my eyes and make sure I was seeing what I was actually seeing."
