OAKLAND -- Armed with nets and cages, workers at the Oakland Zoo will continue to search the grounds Thursday for six exotic birds, including an endangered hooded vulture, that escaped from their storm damaged aviary.
"Our animal care team has been taking nonstop shifts to retrieve all 6 birds, who are staying nearby," Zoo officials Tweeted."None have left Zoo grounds. We're confident we'll be able to recover all 6 soon." At least five people were killed in the Bay Area from toppled trees during the violent"bomb cyclone" storm packing gale-force winds that left widespread destruction across the region.
The new aviary, which houses 20 birds, was built in 2021. It featured a mesh covering that was shredded by the falling tree.
