Freedom is the most precious thing to every living being, be it humans or birds. A female vulture from a Dallas Zoo found her long awaited freedom last weekend by escaping from the zoo.

The Dallas Morning News reported that zoo officials are currently searching for the bird in the Dallas region. However, officials have assured the public that the vulture is of no threat to children, people or pets.

Dallas Zoo spokeswoman Susan Eckert said, "It's a vulture, and it only eats dead things."

The African white-back vulture escaped from its pen at about 9 am on Sunday Morning by squeezing through the bottom of a closed door into an uncovered holding pen. It is said to have been in the part of Dallas Zoo's titled "Wild's of Africa Exhibit."
