A One Armed Something is Missing in Brooklyn Heights

By on April 15, 2011 11:19 pm in Pets

Mrs. Fink snapped this photo of a flyer posted along Hicks Street today. Apparently some sort of one-armed bird (penguin?) has gone missing. There is a phone number posted, but it’s indecipherable. Take a closer look at the poster after the jump and help us solve this mystery.

    Perhaps this gives some credence to reports of aliens in the neighborhood: http://www.refinery29.com/aliens-nyc

    One of the Pengins is missing? No more “Earth Angel”, “Ooky Oook” and “Butterball”

    My impression was that it was a lost stuffed toy penguin that a child lost and was very attached to. I once had a teddy bear that….

    Penguin is correct. We know the kid who posted the sign and we’ll have her modify her note.

    Those St. Ann’s/Packer kids are super creative. Must be all of the art programs they offer.

    I hope the little girl finds her friend okay.

    Just look for the penguin going in circles…that should be a dead giveaway.

    If the penguin is found – ie we have proof of life – we will reward the person who recovered and returned it to its rightful owner with a Brooklyn Bugle t-shirt!

    My partner’s seeing-eye dog found the penguin. Help me get intouch with the parents of the girl who lost it.

    At first I thought this was related to the “Lost Pigeon” notices up on Atlantic at Court — “answers to Donald” — but then David on Middagh and I deciphered that it must be a toy…

  • David on Middagh

    The pigeon was “Dennis”, IIRC.

    Dennis on the grass, alas…

    Quote taken from the wonderful movie made in 1948 entitled “The Naked City”.

    There was also a great TV series by the same name…

    I just recived a note from Melis Bromberg directing me to check out the blog posts about my daughter Luna’s missing stuffy, OTIS, the one-armed penguin.

    She THRILLED of course and super excited about reuniting with Otis. Can the wonderful pup and owner perhaps email me at minmiller108@gmail.com and we can try to connect!

    Will upload a report of the reunion to the BHB, our NEW most favorite blog!
