Three birds have been recovered and three others are still flying free at the Oakland Zoo after a tree fell onto an aviary there amid stormy weather earlier this week, a zoo spokesperson said Friday.
Two pied crows, three superb starlings and a hooded vulture flew out of the aviary in the zoo's African Savanna areaThe three superb starlings, a small and brightly colored bird native to eastern Africa, flew back into their habitat and were recovered Thursday, but zoo staff still are trying to recover the crows and vulture, zoo spokesperson Isabella Linares said Friday.Staff have eyes on the three birds still on the loose and are monitoring them 24 hours a day, she said.
A pathway in the African Savanna area of the zoo where the tree fell had to close Thursday, so visitors that day were not able to see the African elephants further along that path, Linares said.
