00:07A family of barn owls was living here and has been living here for several weeks on the
00:13Upper West Side of Manhattan and yesterday the barn the top of the water tower which they made
00:19their nest in was disrupted it was pulled apart and the fledglings at least seemed to have been
00:27disrupted and were forced to leave because of that and we stand here now wondering what the heck happened
00:46you know this is a federal crime that worker is not allowed to be on the building this is a
00:52federal
00:52crime what's happening right now and right now he's also violating motion he is he doesn't have safety
00:57gear on department of buildings has also been made aware of that right now i'm concerned about the owls
01:02but i am concerned about his safety too
01:11300 species plus are known to be in central park which is right across the street from where we're
01:15standing and we are so lucky and as stewards to these birds and the barn owls too are migrating
01:21through our city they don't normally stay here as stewards to these beautiful creatures it is our
01:26responsibility to protect them
