Texas zoo searching for crow that escaped during training session

Feb. 8 (UPI) -- A Texas zoo is asking members of the public to be on the lookout for a crow that escaped from the facility during a training session.

The Dallas Zoo said Onyx the crow was in a training session for a bird show when he flew off toward the Bishop Arts District of Dallas.

The zoo said the pied crow is distinguishable from a common black crow by the white coloring on his chest.

The bird is friendly toward humans and is known to say "hi," "hiya" and "hi Onyx."

The zoo asked that anyone who spots Onyx contact the facility instead of attempting to capture the bird.
