According to CNN, it is one of the rarest birds in the United States and is considered a conservation species due to its low international population, in particular.
The decision was therefore made to turn off the water jets to accommodate him.
Biologists were dispatched to the scene and were able to capture the animal on Wednesday morning.
It will be moved to a more suitable habitat for its survival.
