Celebrity owl Flaco dies a year after becoming beloved by New York City for zoo escape
The eagle-owl escaped from Central Park Zoo over a year ago and had defied the odds until now, thriving in the urban jungle despite a lifetime in captivity.
Flaco, the Eurasian eagle-owl who escaped from New York City’s Central Park Zoo and became one of the city’s most beloved celebrities as he flew around Manhattan, has died, zoo officials announced Friday.
A little over one year after he was freed from his cage at the zoo in a criminal act that has yet to be solved, Flaco appears to have collided with an Upper West Side building, the zoo said in a statement.
I guess Flaco is not longer Putting on the Rtiz.
Poor Flaco, never found love. Humans suck for killing him.
He was truly a Superb Owl.
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !superbowl@lemmy.world
He died doing what he loved
