POWELL (AP) — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium says a macaw that flew away from an open-air exhibit area was safely recaptured after people spotted the bright yellow and blue bird near a golf club a few miles away.
Milo the macaw typically flies between handlers but took off on a gust of wind on Thursday.
The 8-year-old bird was found Sunday.
A zoo spokeswoman says the zoo asked people in the area to call if they spotted Milo and they did.
The zoo says it got multiple calls from the same area in Powell, and staff recaptured Milo when “one of his favorite people” called to him and he flew to her, according to a post on the zoo’s Facebook page.
The eight-year-old Milo seems to be in good health after his adventure, a zoo spokeswoman said.
