Flaco the Eurasian Eagle-Owl can remain in the 'wild' for the foreseeable future, the Central Park Zoo announced on Friday, noting the bird's quick adaptation to life outside his cage.

“As we noted previously, efforts at recovering the bird have proven more difficult since he has been very successful at hunting and consuming the abundant prey in the park,” the zoo wrote in the. “We are going to continue monitoring Flaco and his activities and to be prepared to resume recovery efforts if he shows any sign of difficulty or distress. We will issue additional updates if there is a change in the eagle owl’s status or our plan changes.
Flaco escaped from his habitat on Jan. 31, after someone cut the steel mesh enclosing him. The owl was seen gallivanting on the Upper East Side before returning to the greenery of the park, where he’s remained ever since. The majestic owl mainly keeps to himself high up in the trees during the day and, keeping to his nocturnal nature, hunts at night.
Eurasian Eagle-Owls are not native to New York, but Flaco’s introduction to the park likely won’t cause ecological catastrophe. That’s because he’s the only free member of his species within Central Park’s 843 acres, but far from the only bird of prey. The park is home to numerous red-tailed hawks who feast on a similar diet, and even some other owls have settled in the park in recent years.
