An owl that went missing from the Central Park Zoo is now on the loose in Manhattan. LeahMishkin reports.
Central Park Zoo officials say they noticed the owl was gone Thursday night around 8:30 p.m. The bird's exhibit had been vandalized - the mesh cut open.
Several people were glad the owl was now in the open, but bird enthusiasts says the owl's safety is at risk. "That's why, when it was first sighted last night on Fifth Avenue, it was just sitting on the ground, and didn't even walk away. Because it didn't know what to do," said bird enthusiast Anke Frohlich.
