After the tragic death of Flaco, the owl who turned into a sensation following his escape from the Central Park Zoo, local legislators are looking to make the skies safer for birds — and make sure his death was not in vain.
“I’m gutted at the death of Flaco the owl, who delighted countless New Yorkers through his presence in Central Park,” said Manhattan state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal. “His death, after apparently striking a glass window pane, raises the importance of our passing common-sense laws to help stop preventable window strikes, which kill millions of birds, like Flaco, each year.”
