I already thought that until spring we are free from new ones. But life has made its own adjustments. A long-eared owl goes to us. We have already dealt with these birds. They are not very good to the human and can bite painfully. This happens even when you are dealing with a very young bird. We have already been warned that the owl that is coming to us is in a bad mood. I do not know what angered her ...
Bird travels to us for rehabilitation after a traumatic brain injury. This means that it has a chance to return to the wild. But usually it takes a lot of time. It is very important that the instincts are fully restored, otherwise the bird will not be able to hunt and it will die.
Traumatic brain injury is the most common reason why owls come to us. Although we have met other stories. For example, the young owl in this photo had a crack in its beak.
