Norman the peacock, a longtime resident of the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo, died on the age of 17.
The zoo mentioned in a press release Thursday that Norman was thought of to be geriatric in peacock years and was receiving medical remedy for points along with his backbone and legs.
“Earlier this month, our Animal Care, Well being & Welfare staff made the compassionate choice to euthanize him as he was not responding to those remedies,” the assertion from the zoo reads.
Norman hatched on the zoo in 2006 and spent his complete life roaming the grounds throughout the spring and summer time months, however the zoo provides he particularly liked the Chilean flamingo habitat and the gorilla amphitheatre.
“Saying goodbye isn’t straightforward, particularly when it’s to those that have grown previous with us,” the zoo mentioned.
“Norman was liked by many and can be dearly missed.”
