Barred Owl #19-0022

After recent repairs were made to a number of flight pens during the past week, a space opened up in the A1 flight enclosure. On March 26, the rehabilitation staff moved Barred Owl #19-0022 to A1 so that the bird could begin exercise. Due to the owl’s eye injuries, the bird has been placed on an “ocular hold” until April 15, which is three months after its admission date. By keeping the bird for three months and continuing to monitor the owl’s eye, the staff will be able to definitively know if the injuries are stable and resolved prior to release.
