Flaco was not the only owl of his kind in the city. Another Eurasian eagle-owl, Valentine, lives at the Bronx Zoo. She has appeared as arm candy for James Breheny, the director of the Bronx Zoo, in a hologram installation in Terminal 4 at Kennedy International Airport.

4. I found a pic of the installation at JFK Airport, if anyone is curious.

Her head is turned away from the camera and towards Mr. Breheny, as if she's listening to what he's saying.

5. Even the hologram owl video just lasts a few seconds. There aren't that many photos either...
