That bird was captured for retraining then released. I am out of NY for 13 years, do not read NY newspaper anymore, do not know if this has happened again. Just giving you a heads up. 3.5 lb yorkie is easy mark for prey birds, please be careful if you walk the baby in any NYC park, keep an eye towards the sky. |
THANK you for the head's up! I knew to be careful out in the country, but I didn't think about Central Park having large birds. He's so little he blows away with the wind sometimes LOL so he's definitely small enough to be a bird's dinner!
