That is so unfortunate. I guess the renos must have been necessary to update old infrastructures. The transport of so many animals requires complex planning, very specialized knowledge/experience and lots of money and resources. I imagine with multiple obstacles like delays and budget constraints, it’s probably not surprising there were bio-casualties.

CBC news at 13:00 had someone on saying a weasel got into a bird enclosure, among other things.
I had a friend who worked in a downtown pet store, back when such places sold animals. One night a ferret got out of its enclosure, and it methodically went through the entire store and killed every single rodent pet in the place. Every mouse, gerbil, hamster, rat and guinea pig. The ferret wasn’t even hungry – it was just on a killing spree.
I can only imagine what the weasel did to those birds.
