flirting with Brutus
Brutus is an African Gray that lives at the Cape May County Zoo.
Brutus was stolen from the zoo back in 2014.
Somewhere between the time his keeper fed him breakfast and lunchtime, someone opened up his cage and swiped him. Luckily someone later spotted him walking down the side of a road and contacted authorities, and Brutus was safely returned to the zoo.
They speculate that Brutus was probably too much for the thief that took him to handle, so they just let him go.
Brutus is pretty charming from behind bars and will wolf whistle and talk to passers by, but evidently he's not friendly once you're up close and personal and willonly let a select few people handle him (typical parrot).
He even bit two policemen during the rescue.
A scary story with a happy ending!
I hope the story has the same happy ending for Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl that escaped the Central Park Zoo and is currently at large.)
Since the theft, they padlock the cage, but it still sits in an area that is largely unattended by zoo staff.
With all the crazy stuff that's happening in zoo's lately, I worry.
