PITTSBURGH — The Steller’s sea eagle that escaped from the National Aviary isn’t the only exotic bird in the region on the lam, according to our news partners at Trib Live.
Before Kodiak slipped out of a breach in its enclosure at the Aviary on the North Side Saturday morning there was Filo — a 3-month old macaw that escaped its perch from a home in Stanton Heights on Sept. 7.

“We didn’t think it was able to fly yet, so we didn’t clip its wings,” said Haedar Kadhim, the bird’s owner. “We’ve been trying everything we can to get him back home.”
Kadhim, who works for the city’s environmental services department, said other macaws and parrots his family has raised — including Filo’s parents Lulu and Cuckoo — did not attempt flight until they were at least six months old.
Filo was the only bird to hatch from the five eggs the bird couple produced.
