Diego The Pied Crow Still On The Lam After Escaping From Oakland Zoo

OAKLAND, CA — A Pied Crow named Diego remains missing from the Oakland Zoo after he, along with five other birds escaped their enclosure when a tree fell onto an aviary there amid stormy weather last week.

Two Pied Crows, three superb starlings and a hooded vulture flew out of the aviary in the zoo's African Savanna area after the tree fell and tore the mesh on the structure during wet and windy conditions Tuesday, March 21.

The three superb starlings, a small and brightly colored bird native to eastern Africa, flew back into their habitat on their own and were recovered Thursday, zoo spokesperson Isabella Linares said Friday.

Oliver, a hooded vulture, was recovered on Friday, and then on Saturday a resident in Oakland who lives a few miles from the zoo spotted Deauville, one of two missing Pied Crows.

A video on Twitter shows zookeepers were able to lure the Pied Crow, named Deauville, inside the resident's house where he was safely caught and returned to the zoo.

"Our keepers headed over and were able to lure him inside this kind resident’s home, where he was safely caught & brought back to the Zoo," the Tweet said.

"This means we have one last bird to recover, another Pied Crow, named Diego.," zoo officials said. ""If you spot him, please don’t try to catch him – he’s a very shy bird that startles easily – but DO call our rescue hotline (510-703-8986) normally used for our Heron Rescue efforts," zoo officials said in a Tweet."
