MISSING OWL Smithtown NY – PLEASE HELP US FIND NEBULA
Our beloved barn owl, Nebula, is missing. During an educational program Sunday evening at sweetbriar, she managed to slip away from her handler and fly off.
Nebula is an imprinted barn owl that’s non-native — she’s not wild and depends on humans for her care. She may seem friendly or unafraid of people.

If you see or hear anything that could be Nebula, please call Sweetbriar at (631) 979-6344 immediately or DM us here on Instagram.
Do not try to catch her — just keep eyes on her and contact us right away.
Please share this post far and wide — the faster we spread the word, the better our chances of bringing her home safely.
Thank you for helping us find Nebula.

Bird collision involving windows of residential and commercial buildings is the second leading cause of bird mortality annually in North America and is a leading driver of bird decline with as many as one billion birds dying each year from window strike.
This talk will explore details of the issue and strategies that have been developed to lessen the impact, including what homeowners can do to make their homes “bird friendly.”
