Flaco, The Eurasian Eagle-Owl Who Escaped From The Central Park Zoo

[@WildlifeBirdsUK]

👍 Hello Cathy, what a magnificent and healthy looking Owl. They are one of my fave' birds and on the few occasions I have seen them here in the UK they gave me a massive thrill. They are not native here either yet have been breeding here for 30+ years now, though many do not want them :( here as they also predate Hen Harriers and any other raptors in their territory. I hope your Owl is very lucky as he will need to be, having been in captivity so long and now in a busy park, full of danger. A great video to watch, thank you my friend. 👍◕‿◕

[@quote_nature]

Thank you so much for your very beautiful and informative comments. Luckily, there is no other Eurasian Eagle-Owl to mate with. The story of this owl is ongoing. He is still doing well in the park and everyone is hoping for the best. Best regards, Cathy

So sad to hear the news of Flaco! The music for this song is perfect for this moment

[@quote_nature]

Yes, we were all concerned that Flaco would not be able to survive on his own in the city and I wanted to choose music that reflected that. His death is so sad, his story touched so many people here and in other countries. Thank you so much for writing.

Beautiful story, Cathy! It makes me glad that he's figured out how to keep himself fed. A bit of a success story even though he might not ever find a mate.

Thank you Donna. Yes, it was a huge relief to hear he was able to hunt after about a week of not eating. There are so many unknowns for the owl, hoping for the best. Kind regards, Cathy

What a lovely video dear Cathy. Indeed, let's hope he will continue to live happy and free, he's a very beautiful.... i'd almost say "majestic" looking animal! ^^ Thank you for another sweet and beautiful video.... Warmest greetings from Bangkok... Thomas

[@quote_nature]

Thank you dear Thomas. I agree, this large owl is majestic. I remember seeing it in the zoo years ago. It was a shock to hear its cage was cut open and it flew into the park! A few weeks later and it seems to have adjusted well to hunting and the park. We shall see if it decides to stay or fly further north away from the dangers of the city. Best wishes for the week!

Wonderful to see Flaco up close in the tree! He's is a very big owl! I suppose he has always lived in a zoo- so it's amazing and wonderful that he knows how to hunt and feed himself. I guess he hasn't gone too far, if the zoo is also in Central Park... maybe he'll be safe in the Central Park area. I hope so! Thanks Cathy!! 👍👍💕

[@quote_nature]

Thank you so much Jennifer. I hope so too. He was staying in the southern part of Central Park not too far from the zoo although yesterday he was not seen as far as I know. His story is a continuing one since much is unknown about what might happen but it was a relief that he learned to hunt. Best regards, Cathy

[@JenniferLupine]

@@quote_nature Yes! Quite a relief- he’s got good instincts!

[@nathanharris4105]

Too be fair it's not like NYC is short of owl prey. Plenty of rats, squirrels and other small animals for him to munch on.

Was completely unaware of this bird until I took a walk through the North Woods. I came across a group of birders all pointing their cameras up at a tree. Lo and behold, it was Flaco. Just chilling up in a tree, hooting away. So honored to have him as our newest New Yorker!

[@TheeOwlQueen]

Oh my goodness Cathy! It's been so long, that's on me, I went to visit your page today and seen this video and literally gasped outloud. All I could think before I even watched this was oh I hope and pray they do not recapture him, he deserves to me in the wild after 12 years behind bars. I can't even begin to imagine his life in an enclosure for such a long period of time. A taste of freedom like this, and being able to hunt and survive on his own is absolutely ASTOUNDING. I can't even begin to imagine the goosebumps and giddy delight you must have had while filming this beautiful owl. I'm so happy he was being monitored. Thank you so much for documenting and sharing this astound story of Mr. Falco, I wish him great health and continued success in the wild.

[@quote_nature]

Thank you dear Heather. It was very concerning the first week as he was not eating and no one knew what to expect. You are so right - it was amazing that after 12 years in the zoo Flaco learned to fly well and hunt for its meals in a short time. He is still in the park in a different area from the zoo. The constant concerns are city related (the same for all the birds) rat poison, buildings and vehicles. Hoping for the very best for this amazing owl as I know you are too! Warm greetings, Cathy

I read the newspaper article this morning and wondered if you would have a video sometime soon. So I went directly from the article to your wonderful video in my notifications. A smart owl that found its freedom yet knows that expanding its territory, rather than flying off into the great unknown, is the better way to handle it. Wise owl indeed! Thanks Cathy for this precious document.😊🍁🦉

[@quote_nature]

Thank you! Yes, the owl has been expanding its range away from the zoo territory. He has learned how to hunt and his capture is no longer possible as long as he stays healthy. Hoping for the best for this owl who lived 12 of his approx.13 years in a zoo. Warm greetings, Cathy

[@wildhomevideos]

Flaco looks pretty pleased with himself. Rat poison is a big concern. There is a rat poison now available which kills rodents by canceling their trigger for thirst, and when eating this poison the rat stops drinking and dies of dehydration. Apparently only rodents are affected by this poison and it is safe for other birds and animals. I wonder if it would be an idea to ban the use of regular rat poison in the vicinity of Central Park as surely other animals would also be affected. Great video Cathy👍

[@quote_nature]

Yes, you make excellent points about rat poison. It is supposedly not used in Central Park but I do not believe this is true. A Barred Owl died in an accident in the park and rat poison was found when they tested the owl. Rats are a serious problem in New York City and everyone is very concerned for the owl, the hawks and any creatures that might eat them. I wish it could be banned or alternatives would be used. Thank you for the info about rat poison and your great comments. Best regards, Cathy

I think it's possible mice and other small animals have snuck in his enclosure over the years and he's hunted them down. Usually animals raised by humans for captivity don't last in the wild. Hopefully this owl stays healthy and dosent effect native owls.

So they announced that they will stop trying to recapture the Owl as it's shown the ability to capture it's own food amazingly despite being imprinted

[@janemillerick9614]

not so sure that’s a good thing.. he needs to have an option (nest -hint! hint!) maybe.. I could well be wrong. I’ve watched the liznm channel EU eagle owl wild cams when there’s a pair nesting. Flaco not only is imprinted that This is his territory; in nature their territory is 100 sq acres approximately.

Yes, it is amazing that this owl was able to hunt after living in the zoo for 12 years. The zoo staff will still be on call if the owl's health changes or it needs help. We don't know how Flaco will fare or even if it will stay... Hoping for the best.

@@quote_nature since they have so large an area -mostly in nature from what I’ve seen- the males will have an area, seek/ call for a mate.. this likely isn’t a time of year a male adult would travel (rather hope not).

There's so many unknowns since he has lived most of his life in a zoo. He is too hard to catch at this point. We are just waiting and watching.
