Runaway Chickaboo is doing very well, thank you very much

Days after it was spotted sprinting down the Federal Highway – which catapulted the little fella to instant stardom, by the way – Chickaboo is reportedly settling well at its new home in Semenyih.

Ostrich Wonderland farm owner Casey Tey told The Star Online that aside from experiencing a bit of ‘culture shock’, Chickaboo is doing just fine.

“Chickaboo has a minor cut on its neck and seems to be experiencing culture shock after seeing so many other ostriches but it is okay,” Tey was quoted by The Star Online as saying.

He also added that Chickaboo would not be lonely as it has three other ostrich friends, one of which is a sibling, for company at the farm.

Tey also told the news portal that he planned to build a special enclosure for Chickaboo so that visitors would be able to “get up close and personal” with the internet celebrity

On Thursday, Chickaboo made a run for it while its previous owner, 44-year-old Darren Chow, was transporting it to the farm from where he had bought it as it had grown too big for him to handle, according to The Star Online.
