Tawny Owl Released – UPDATE

ByJon

This guy was found on the roadside, he was cold, wet and extremely weak but fortunately, after an examination we confirmed that he was not injured.

After a few hours in an incubator he had picked up, allthough still very weak. In the morning we forced fed him and have continued to do so until Thursday when he has thankfully started eating by himself and he was moved to an aviary.

After 9 days of treatment, this guy was released last night after making a full recovery.
