Reply to comment by BasedAlliance935 in Flaco, the owl who escaped from the Central Park Zoo, will be allowed his freedom - UPI.com by thonioand
No because if you have been following any of the news around him, he is finding an absolute abundance of prey in central park. If anything he might get overweight. Owls can live almost anywhere there are small critters.

Who knew we just needed some owls to deal with these rats

But what will we do once the owl population explodes?

Nothing? Let them eat the rats and eventually there will be some natural balance.

NYC already has native owls and hawks that eat rats. This eagle owl is a threat to those native rat killers. Eurasian eagle owls regularly kill and eat other birds of prey in their native range, and there is no reason to suspect it won’t do the same here.

This is not correct. There is a concern. If there wasn't, they wouldn't be attempting to retrieve the owl.
