Who's that fluffy little owl in the mirror?

This young Great Horned Owl was initially brought into an animal hospital after concerns it may have been abandoned. Since this little owl is currently being housed solo, a little mirror roommate for company will have to do for now!

We use a variety of techniques to help prevent imprinting and keep wild birds behaving as naturally as possible during care. This includes mirrors, mirrored feeding headgear during assisted feeding, and minimizing human interaction whenever possible to help give these patients the best chance at a successful return to the wild.

If you find a bird or wild animal you believe may be abandoned or injured, please call a wildlife rehabilitation centre before intervening. A quick phone call can help determine whether the animal needs assistance and can prevent unnecessary stress or accidental separation from its parents.

Epic barely begins to describe the experience of seeing a fledgling Saw Whet Owl fresh out of the cavity. A first for this species for me even.

Our Mckinder's Eagle Owl is growing fast, we think he is a male but not certain, looking for an African Name for him.

The Mckinder's Eagle Owl is the largest of the 3 subspecies of Cape Eagle Owls of sub-Saharan Africa, found in southern Kenya and northern South Africa.

The China Meteorological Administration (CMA) maintained elevated orange alerts on Tuesday for heavy rain and severe stormy weather, warning that the huge precipitation system has entered its strongest, most destructive stage.

Gone to shit ever since documents got released about the people that run the country/world being pedophiles/eating humans/being above the law. Now with ai they take our jobs/increase price on everything/go to war to increase prices even further. How have we not stood up and said “enough”? We are working to send our tax dollars to a violent country instead of funding our very needed country? It makes me not even want to get up in the morning!
