And yet, Florida.

Probably densest, though.

The Chinese don't have that technology yet so Trump is trying to sell them on owls in espionage. It's funny because the Chinese have a 500 book series of Harry Trotter novels but no messenger owls.

First of all, that's a Great Horned Owl

Second, it's the most common owl in New York City

Third, the NY Post is hot garbage

First the Dallas Zoo, now the Central Park Zoo. WTF is going on with Zoo security? If they think they are doing the animals a favor, they are not. Many of them were born in captivity and are not equipped to live in the city.

Please note that you can report Flaco  on your ebird log, but he won't count towards your number of species sighted since he's a known escaped exotic.

The bad news that it doesn't remember how to hunt could lead to an awesome video of rats tracking, trapping, and killing it.

He could die just from eating the poisoned vermin in NYC.

I respect their decision to free him. If there's one group of people who are close to nature- it's people who live in Manhattan.

"Yo, you hear about that Dallas zoo on TikTok?"
"LOL YEAH, LET'S DO IT"

We have digital generations who are groomed into becoming mindless copycats.  It is inevitable.  Society hasn't maintained its ability to think first, act second.

That's a Superb Owl. Do you think they'll have him back by next Sunday?

Strap some sleeping pills to some mice and release them near Flaco. He will grab a mouse, fly to a tree, eat it, and peacefully fall asleep. Workers can then climb the tree and safely catch him. There. Problem solved.

Stay tuned for more completely impractical and useless solutions and life's problems.

I don't look at Tick Tock. I think it is a bunch of crap. I read it here on Fark. It has better crap.

Twelve squirrel monkeys in Louisiana too.

If it was a left wing coordinated thing like ALF they'd be all about the credit.

So my only conclusion is this is some new TikTok thing or a GOP trend about sticking it to the libs by eating endangered species or something.
