Bird returns to zoo after a long weekend out on the town.

Days after its escape from the High Park Zoo, Toronto's missing peacock is finally back home.

The peacock's dash for freedom was the subject of widespread interest late last week, with photos and videos of the bird's run through the city captured by locals and media.

Toronto Animal Services initially attempted to capture the bird, but eventually decided to wait for it to return on its own.

Just after 8 a.m. Wednesday, the zoo confirmed on Twitter that the peacock had indeed returned.
