Reply to comment by DirtyProtest in Flaco the escaped zoo owl can remain in the wilds of NYC by citytiger

You sent me down a rabbit hole as I had no idea we had them here.

So interesting to see they used language as a way of determining whether we used to have owls

The populationnis becoming quite well established and for obvious reasons people keep quiet about their locations.

Seeing as they are a recent extirpated species I think it's great to see them back in the UK.
