He has been spotted around the county for weeks. The bird has been seen a few times over the last few days.

The flightless bird, who weighs roughly 100 pounds, has not been terrorizing citizens or damaging property; however, he is known to trespass.

According to the New York Times, Eno — or Fluffy as one resident called him — was spotted in someone’s yard back in June.
It is unclear who Eno belongs.
Birds like Eno are able to move at speeds as fast as 30 miles per hour, making his capture even more difficult.
