NEW YORK — Flaco, the Eurasian owl that flew his coop at the Central Park Zoo after someone tore open his habitat will remain a free bird — at least for now, zoo officials said Saturday.
The zoo will be suspending recovery efforts for the wayward bird, who has been seen flying around the 1.3-mile park ever since escaping from its habitat more than two weeks ago.
Flaco’s park adventure has been a highlight for New York City birders who have photographed and reported on his movements.
