SPRINGVILLE - Nigel the screech owl is back home after getting stuck in a downspout at the Springville Museum of Art about a week ago.
The city of Springville said on Facebook that the museum’s facilities team came to the rescue and got the owl out of harm’s way. Then, Nigel the screech owl was rehabilitated for a week at the Great Basin Wildlife Rescue.
Finally, Nigel was released back to the grounds of the museum where he lives on Friday.
“During the summer months, it is not uncommon to find these little owls throughout the grounds at the museum,” Springville City said.
The city said the screech owl is native to Utah, and they expressed gratitude to the people who helped with Nigel’s rescue and rehab.
He looks so angry!
It’s up there with some of the most sour animal looks I’ve seen! He’s mad at the tube, mad someone would dare touch him, and probably also mad that they thought he couldn’t escape there on his own, he just wasn’t darn well ready to do so yet is all! He could have left any time he wanted! 😆
