Home Planet: Earth
Owls
The owl, or rather one or more species of owl, was introduced to wipe out rats and pigeons. While the owls proved largely successful, they themselves replaced both species as the most prevalent pests in New New York. Owls are still capable of flight but feed on trash and have been seen exiting holes in walls, suggesting they live there.
Eradication
Owls are usually caught in owl traps, such as Def-Con Owl Traps, the operation of which sounds much like a 21st century mouse or rat trap. They occasionally also get caught in spider webs.
