Anke Frohlich, a New Yorker who caught impressive photographs of Flaco in flight, said she has seen him eat four rats in one sitting. ‘I have observed Flaco eat up to four rats a night, which, from what I have heard, is four times what he used to eat in the zoo,’

'He has definitely gotten a lot bigger since his escape and he has found his voice. His hoots are full and strong.

Kathy Robles, 73, who lives just over the river from Central Park in New Jersey, told DailyMail.com the bird has become ‘buff’ since escaping by ‘using muscles he never had to use before’.

‘He waddles around, so he’s using his leg muscles and breast muscles,’ said Robles, who has built a Flaco Facebook following of more than 500 people.
