For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”

      Central Park employees were really looking out for him. Initially they were worried that he would not be able to survive on his own. Also, I seem to remember that when he first escaped, it was super cold, so they were worried that he might freeze because they weren't sure he would quickly find/make a warm shelter for himself to get through the cold snap. Then it was just sightings in Central Park, so they were more confident about his abilities. Then Flaco decided to bail on Central Park, and started to hang out on the Westside. Okay, whatever. I'm pretty sure he still flies over to the park to hunt when he wants to.

      Yeah, they had enough frequent sightings of him in Central Park, so they were confident that he was okay. Not worried, more like, "Hey, Flaco, what's up." Now that he's confident enough to explore the city, he's really okay. Pale Male did something similar, adopting a niche in a luxury building on Fifth Ave.

      No matter how hard he tried, Rudolph could not get the other reindeer to call him Rudy. They used his name to taunt him and bully him relentlessly, leading him to seek solace in the bottle, another victim of bullying culture, something the other reindeer picked up during their world travels around humans. Santa tried to help him by making him the leader, but he refused Rudy's request to stop using his full name and instead call him Reindeer One. Reindeer culture has gotten out of hand, and it has led to several books by elves exposing the dark side of life at the North Pole.

    If you don't know, that line, *_“But that's just New York . Sometimes it's an owl, sometimes it's 9/11”_*
    is a reference to an Eric Adams quote from Monday,
    where he said the great thing about New York
    is that 9/11 could happen “any day”.
    Eric “Corrupt Mor0n” Adams also “summed up 2023 in one word” by saying “New York.”
    And he still has family members on the pay roll by the way, since day one in fact.

    A) Owls cannot turn their head 360° because that would break their necks, they can turn it 270° which is still impressive. B) I would be so happy if this Flaco owls would be peeping into my window as owls are among the coolest birds there are.
