Our Animal Care Manager, Amanda, tried an experiment on Friday. She just popped her smartphone in the enclosure with our fledgling Barn Owl to get some video while she went about her business in the quarantine building. He can't decide whether to toe dust or eat (yes, that's a plate full of diced mice). This little guy was injured likely when hay was being moved (see June 3 post). When admitted he could not stand and appeared to have a spinal cord injury. Look at him today! He still isn't weighting his left leg fully, but he is standing now!
