According to the New York Times, "he had enough rat poison and pigeon virus in his system to kill him." This underscores the dangers urban wildlife face.
The program will also examine "the dangers faced by birds in urban environments, legislation inspired by Flaco's legacy and practical steps for creating a safer city for wildlife."
Featuring photos and videos "documenting Flaco's flight and his new life in the city, along with letters, drawings and objects left at a memorial beneath Flaco's favorite oak tree following his death one year ago."
The museum is also showing "Pets and the City," a survey of the evolution of pets in this town that also includes mention of Flaco (of course!).
