From Blackland Prairie Raptor Center
This eastern Screech owl had an injured wing. Our Raptor Clinic staff removed the original (white) bandage. We put a new blue bandage on that is stiff and hard to bend in order to prevent the owl from doing further damage to the injury. Owls like to peck at things that are not natural to their body, such as bandages. We put some gray tabs on the end of the bandage. The owl can pick at the gray tabs without doing hard to the bandage. Such a good patient!
He should be sitting on the bench next to sad Keanu.
My app kept crashing so I quit while I was ahead with this attempt.
He’s def gonna eat that bird considering the mood he’s in…
He looks tired.
It does look unusually groggy. It doesn’t look like it was sedated, so I was a bit confused looking at it myself.
