Vancouver International Airport’s (YVR) latest crow tenant has moved out for now

According to a tweet from YVR, Moira the crow was “safely re-released” on Monday

However, Moira’s response to her banishment has been less than enthusiastic

Just before YVR’s tweet, @crowYVR, a Twitter account where Moira has been documenting her life at the airport, had warned of a “birdnapping” with a tweet stating, “Being manhandled is NOT APPRECIATED ”

Moira told the Richmond News, via her @crowYVR Twitter account, that she had been relocated out “into what became a snowy tundra ”

“The relationship I thought I had built with the YVR domestic terminal and their staff was clearly a lie,” the statement reads, adding that while there were no physical injuries, feelings were hurt

Moira’s account also replied to YVR, accusing the airport of not giving credit for the photo of her

It remains to be seen whether travellers will see the celebrity crow perched around the airport again

“I found great solace and comfort at YVR, and the food options were plentiful, so I’ll be back,” reads Moira’s statement

“However, maybe next time I’ll have better luck in the international terminal ”
