“Just stay still and don’t approach him, call the National Avery right away, and the people that know him,” Fish added. “We’ll be able to approach him and bring him back.”

As for how Kodiak was able to escape, they said it’s due to a possible disturbance.

“We have found one small area in his habitat where the heavy gauge wire netting has been compromised every day, all the habitats and birds are checked for their safety and security and except for this one area, all of the nettings are in perfect condition,” she explained. “We believe that saw that Kodiak did not intend to leave that something must have startled him, or he saw this area and was curious to investigate it.”

Fish says the Aviary believes that Kodiak may be able to come back on his own and they do not believe he is far from his home as they have been searching the North Side and along the rivers.

Kodiak generally feeds on rodents but also likes fish.
