From Pocono Wildlife Rehab Center
This is one of our recent rehab successes, a beautiful gray morph screech owl.
Not ready to immediately disappear into the woods, the little screech perched on Amanda’s hand for several minutes, taking in the scenery…then pooped on her and flew off. Message fully received that she was done with us and ready to be free again!
Fun fact, owls have amazing vision, and their pupils can dilate independently from each other (as this owl was kind enough to demonstrate.
o,O
Every owl we have here comes standard with the deluxe auto-dimming feature!
“Aw, he wants to stay a little longer to be with us!”
. . . Oh.
Well. . . . Success!
In a way, having no gratitude is for the best. We got to keep the wild in them for their safety.
I know all these squirrels I’ve been feeding don’t show any gratitude! 🤨
Mad when I drag them out of bed to feed them. Mad when I stop feeding them. Tossing my feeding supplies everywhere. Always trying to escape.
Anyone that wants a wild animal indoors is crazy! 🤯
