  • Now that she’s there, the zoo said it was unlikely it would be able to bring her home.

    The United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union has made it difficult to move wild animals across the U.K.-France border. An extra complication, Mr. Woolcock said, was the risk that Frankie may have contracted bird flu on her travels.
