Central Park Zoo officials say Flaco the owl has died

[jodibrooklyn]

Actually, I blame the zoo first, the vandal second. This owl never should have been in an enclosure in NYC.

Another unsolved crime in the big city.

This after just 3 weeks ago they did a video on how he was flying free after escaping one year earlier 😢

Rest in peace beautiful, sweet adorable Flaco. You brought such joy to see many people with your peeping. I wish you had left the city for the country where you would have been safe from glass windows of the skyscrapers of the city.😭

I am so sad to hear this news about Flaco ---

[summerz]

He always made my day brighter, just seeing his photos 🦉💕🍃🎼

[RobertDixon-swdz]

He was responsible for the muder of so many of the city's rats and mice.

Flaco still died in freedom not slavery

[chiquita]

His last tweet was, "We need to address this border crisis" and now this. Investigate

[chiquita]

We are supposed to believe it just randomly died?

Flaco the Russian owl, taken against his will, imprisoned, freed by some reckless activist (right on, Dude!✊️), Flaco gorged himself on New York City's finest n fattest sewer rats, likely poisoned by the city eradictors of rodents, stalked by paparazzi, invading Flaco's well deserved freedom, Flaco then crashes into a skyscraper and dies. They have painted walls in his image to memorialize him. There's symbolism in this somewhere. Perhaps Flaco's spirit was taken to guard over the Russian Alexei Navlany, savagely poisoned by Putin. Owls have powerful juju. Now, two Russian legends. May they both rest in peace🙏 Sad times in the world💔
