From Seaside Seabird Sanctuary
They grow up so fast! 🥲
We wanted to share a progress report on our young Eastern Screech-Owl patient! The owl is developing quickly, and has now reached the stage where it is perching and beginning to self-feed.
It never ceases to amaze us how quickly baby birds grow and develop - For many species of bird, the process of development from still incubating within the egg until they leave the nest as a fledgling is often less than a month!
We’re excited to see this little one continue to develop and grow, and to soon be returned back into the wild!
*spends 10 minutes talking politics with the stuffed owl behind him, gets no response*
Pfft. Moron.
“How can you have no opinion on vole prices?! We used to get 3 for $5 all day, every day, and now they’re almost $5 a piece! How’s an owl supposed to make it in this economy???”
“ . . . Right? . . . you with me, buddy? . . . Yo! . . . Hey! . . . “
“. . . *sigh* some days I wonder why I come into work, y’know?”
