From Center for Wildlife

Happy Valentine’s Day! Meet our Lovebirds, Gaia & Galileo and Byron & Fern!

Gaia (left) and Galileo (right) are two bonded Great- Horned Owls serving as ambassadors at The Center. Gaia is a loving protector of her mate, Galileo, who joined us in 2006 after an injury that left him blind in his left eye. Gaia has been with us at The Center for Wildlife since 2011 after falling from her nest and fracturing her wing. You will rarely see them more than a few inches apart, as Gaia has taken to grooming Galileo’s feathers and calling beside him. They, too, are getting into the Valentine’s spirit, and you can hear them calling together in the late afternoon/early evening from November through February. They have also served as foster parents to over 40 young, orphaned great-horned owlets that have come to our center for recovery.
