A happy ending for this beautiful owl!! Now that’s a great Christmas story, thank you Wildlife in Wildlife In Need Center!!!

This Great Horned Owl got himself into a challenging situation! He was emaciated, with visible neurologic issues when he was seen struggling underneath a bridge. When found, he was using his wings to balance on rocks, with legs hanging over the rushing water, so weak that he didn’t have the strength to fly without falling in. A brave man carefully climbed over the bridge to rescue him, holding the weak owl in his shirt while he climbed back to safety.

During this time, we had admitted multiple other raptors with West Nile Virus, so we suspected this to be the issue, but to our surprise, he was one of the few newly admitted owls to test negative for this virus. However, his symptoms were also consistent with rodenticide poisoning.

This owls home territory is adjacent to both a golf course and a cemetery property, both which tend to use pesticides and/or rodenticides to maintain their grounds, so this was likely the cause of his issues. Due to his critical state, he was unable to digest solid foods and needed to be tube fed (a specialized liquid diet) until he was stable and strong enough to digest whole food.

As time went on, his neurologic symptoms resolved as he regained his strength and became more nutritionally stable. He then went through a reconditioning period in our large aviary to regain his stamina and flight conditioning. After 2 months in our care, he was fully recovered and ready to return to his life in the wild!

A reminder about plant safety!

🎄🐾 Holiday Plant Hazards 🐾🎄

Festive favorites like mistletoe, holly, and poinsettias can cause digestive upset—or worse—if curious pets take a bite! 🐶🐱 Keep them out of reach to keep your holidays happy.

🌲 Bonus Tip: The water under your Christmas tree might seem tempting to pets, but it could contain harmful fertilizers or bacteria. Cover it up to avoid any risks!

Keep your furry friends safe this season! ❤️✨
