After being informed by a member of the public of a goose in distress, we went out and rescued her. She is being cared for at our sanctuary. If you, or someone you know is missing a goose, please let us know.

Great Grey Owl Facts

One of the most distinctive features of the great grey owl is its oversized facial disk. This disk is a circular arrangement of feathers that works like a satellite dish. It directs sound toward the owl’s ears, allowing it to pinpoint prey hidden beneath snow or foliage. This fine-tuned sense of hearing, silent flight and sharp claws makes great grey owls proficient hunters.

Despite their large size, much of the owl's bulk is thick feathers, not body mass. This dense layer of plumage insulates them against the freezing temperatures of the boreal forests and tundra they call home.

Very chummy together
Little scruff is eating on his own and has grown really well , Ethel owl still not feeding on her own
Hope he gets the hang of it soon
