Two happy re-nested EASOs
These two nestling Eastern Screech Owls were admitted separately to our hospital after each was found fallen from their nests. After an intake exam, they were each found to be healthy and uninjured after their falls and were placed in an incubator together. One of the owl's parents was still in the area but the nest was destroyed, so our staff got creative and used this basket and zip ties to make a new nest for the pair. Our team has been monitoring the nest closely and found the parents have returned to the new nest to care for the nestlings!
We love when we can successfully reunite a family! Baby birds take a lot of time and care to raise. Please never try to raise a baby bird on your own and always contact your closest wildlife rehabilitator if you find a displaced or injured nestling.
