From Blue Ridge Wildlife Center
Our Great Horned Owl patient that came in over a month ago that required surgery to heal their fractured metacarpals (the “hand” bones of the wing) is nearing release!
The owl’s surgery and healing went beautifully, and they’re now reconditioning in our outdoor circular flight cage. After a bit more time to make sure they’re in top condition, this bird will be ready to go back home.
Thank you to the finders and our supporters who allow us to care and provide for each patient that comes through our doors - we couldn’t do this work without you!
I always appreciate when you guys share the links!
Now I know I’ve been by this place a number of times and never knew it, so I’ll have to see if I can check it out next time.
