A Eurasian eagle-owl named Flaco sits in a tree in New York's Central Park, Feb. 6, 2023. New York City’s celebrity owl Flaco was suffering from a severe pigeon-borne illness and high levels of rat poison when he crashed into a building and died last month, officials at the Bronx Zoo said Monday.
After an unknown vandal snuck into the zoo and cut his cage, Flaco spent his initial days of freedom inside Central Park, before venturing out into the Manhattan skyline. Though he had lived his entire 13 years in captivity, he quickly proved a proficient hunter, preying on the city's abundant rat population.
Following his death, zoo officials placed the blame squarely on the vandal who cut his enclosure, a crime that remains unsolved.
