Peacock in China 'died of fright' after tourists tried to take selfies with it...

A peacock at a Chinese wildlife park died after visitors enticed it with food, plucked its feathers and took selfies as they held it, domestic media reported.

The five-year-old male bird apparently dropped dead after it was manhandled by two groups of tourists at Yunnan Wild Animal Park in China’s south-west, according to the local Metropolitan Times.

“Peacocks are very difficult to get close to unless you entice it with food,” a park employee, named as Bai, told the newspaper.

 “When a third group of tourists tried to catch the peacock, they were stopped by employees. But half-an-hour later, the peacock died," he said, adding that it was “frightened to death”. Full story...
