The Famous Owl Flaco, Who Fled The Central Park Zoo, Dies From Traumatic Impact - VAXA Post

After the passing of a well-known owl that New Yorkers adored, tributes came in. After escaping from the Central Park Zoo last year and living freely in Manhattan, Flaco the Eurasian eagle owl gained immense notoriety. However, last week, he passed away due to a tragic incident.

Flaco, an owl known for his singing at night and who won people over to the Upper West Side, has stopped hooting after it appears that he flew into a structure. For the hordes of devoted fans who avidly followed along and the birders who meticulously tracked the owl's daily movements, it was a heartbreaking conclusion. Last year, a vandal managed to cut a hole through Flaco's steel mesh cage and break a waist-high fence, allowing him to escape from the zoo. Thirteen years previously, he had arrived at the zoo as a fledgling.

His breed may live up to 10 years in the wild and 60 years in captivity, therefore zoologists looking into his sudden demise claim he was in good physical condition and had no prior hunting experience, which helped him catch prey. According to the zoo, they are looking into whether the disease had a role in his demise and will provide an update in around two weeks.

Sightings of Flaco had become into a sport, with New Yorkers watching for a glimpse of his six-foot wingspan and checkerboard black and brown feathers. The magnificent owl would spend his days perched on fire escapes, fence posts, and tree branches, and his evenings hooting from atop water towers while he hunted the many rodents that lived in the city.

David Barrett, who oversees the Manhattan Bird Alert account on X and kept tabs on reports of the owl's whereabouts, claimed that Flaco had been more reserved in the days preceding his passing. According to Mr. Barrett on Saturday, he had been wondering if Flaco had moved on to explore other neighborhoods, but after learning of Flaco's death, he began to assume that he had fallen ill.

With news of his death comes also a plea for justice. "The vandal who damaged Flaco's exhibit jeopardised the safety of the bird and is ultimately responsible for his death. We are still hopeful that the NYPD which is investigating the vandalism will ultimately make an arrest," Central Park Zoo said in a statement Friday.

Fans of Flaco posted ideas for a bronze statue that would be permanent and would look out over New York City on Saturday. One person asked to bury the owl's bones in Central Park.
