Check out the Florida Wildlife Hospital display at the Melbourne Public Library for the month of January! We highlighted literature that focused on different species of owls and other bird's. We also included why you shouldn't feed birds bread and how it can cause a nutritional deficiency in birds that can lead to syndrome called angel wings, this can leave them unable to fly. Thank you Melbourne Public Library and make sure to stop by the kid's area for some fun coloring pages! 🦉🌿📚

🪶Happy Freedom Friday!🪶This Eastern Phoebe came in on New Years Eve with a suspected wing injury because it was not flying. After some rest and medication it started to fly again and was able to be released back in the wild! They were one of the last patients of 2024 and our FIRST release for 2025!

🪶Flying into the New Year!🪶
This clip is from our Great Horned Owl, Archer, training session. He was asked to fly to "perch" and then he is rewarded when he does so. This type of training is great cognitive enrichment for our education ambassadors.
