Leuven eagle owl died of pigeon herpes | VRT NWS: news

A male eagle owl that had been living in the centre of the Flemish Brabant town of Leuven died of pigeon herpes. The cause of death has been established by Ghent University’s Wildlife Health Ghent team. A couple of months ago three eagle-owl chicks were left orphaned in the center of Leuven after their mother had disappeared and their father was found dead not far from their nest.
