Is this the same owl that “had to be captured” because he wouldn’t know how to feed himself?

I hope he starts a family and sticks it to everyone that said he was toast. The sheer volume of mice and rats should supersize him —so long as he doesn’t eat a rat that consumed poison bait.

he's from a a species of owl that is non-native to the US. He's going to live and even more solitary life than most owls

Can he find and crossbreed with a different type of owl? Never mind the question of romance and attraction - can nature make it work?

There's a very, very small chance he could make it work with a ...I wanna say a great horned owl but don't quote me. But making that happen, in NYC, as a different species is pretty damn low.
