It appears Flaco has regained his killer instincts and is becoming an old hand at swooping down from his lofty perch to feed on the park's bounty of rats.
NEW YORK — For two weeks, an owl that escaped from New York's Central Park Zoo has flown from treetop to treetop, eluding capture and amassing legions of fans worried about its ability to survive alone in the big city.
The bird's name in Spanish means"skinny," and it seemed he was in danger of living up to his name in the early days of his escape because he hadn't been seen eating. But when he started coughing up fur and bones, it sparked excitement — proof that he had been hunting and eating. The search for Flaco was launched Feb. 2 after the discovery that vandals had cut stainless steel meshing at the bird's enclosure.
