The Central Park Zoo said it had given up trying to retrieve an owl that escaped from its enclosure after vandals opened its metal cage. Two weeks ago, the Eurasian owl flew from treetop to treetop, evading capture.

Allow the owl to remain free

And according to what was published by the British “Daily Mail” website, the Eurasian eagle owl, Flaco, will be allowed to remain free at the present time, due to its great success in catching prey. The owl has been spotted in several locations around upper Manhattan and in tree branches around Central Park.

The statement said the park team continues to monitor Flaco and her activities and will be prepared to resume efforts to retrieve her if she shows any sign of difficulty or distress.

In the latest previous research efforts, zoo employees tried to lure her with a delicious table of dead mice, while they were standing with nets in their hands to catch them, but the attempt was unsuccessful.
