The four Great Horned Owlets that are living with surrogate Papa G'Ho are doing well. The young owlets are looking more like adult Great Horned Owls each week and are very active in their enclosure. Students report that the newest addition to the owl parliament - owlet #16-0923 - is especially feisty.
Each Sunday, the rehabilitation staff has been offering live mice in a tub to the owl family as "practice mouse school" for the young birds. The owlets are able to observe Papa hunting for mice or try to hunt on their own.
