MONTREAL — A Montreal-area zoo says a raven that went missing during a break-in at the property last month has been found.

Ecomuseum executive director David Rodrigue says Kola the raven is back home and doing well after being rescued by police on Saturday.

Rodrigue said police and the zoo received a call about a bird in a box by the side of the road.

He said physical and behavioural tests have confirmed the bird is Kola, who is eating well and appears happy to be home.

The zoo reported in late November that someone had broken into the aviary at its property in Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue and either stolen or released Kola, who suffers from health issues and can’t fly well.
