Go ahead.Okay, so animal control advised they don't come out for birds of any type. I have been unable to get in contact with anybody from wildlife. All of them say that they're closed. It's not giving me another number to try to contact someone on any emergency. Okay, I appreciate it, radio. Let's have a supervisor go to see how we're going to handle this because the bird is in and out the street. I think it does live somewhere close because it's not really going too far.

1612 to radio. Go ahead. Can you check the premise history for 795 Flat Shoes? This possibly could be where the emo came from. Just see if we got a phone number or anything on file because no one's answering the door. I copy, standby 12. 1611 to radio, I'm 26. I copy that, 26.

Pretty sure it lives in that house across(ish?) from Blake. Perhaps got spooked by storm and escaped? 😕

They can run 30 mph, I’d say leave them alone unless they’re speeding
