That is wild. Those birds are tough though. When I was about 14 we found one in an old rabbit cage that someone had hit with thier car and it had a seperated wing. They left at the end of a road with some cherrios and water. We dragged it back to my mothers apt on a red wagon. She was not happy when she came home. My oldest brother work at a vets office at the time and they fix the wing. It took a couple of months for it to get to where it could fly again, which took a toll on my hampters gerbils, but it was an awesome bird.One day it just went home but every now and then it would show up at the apt hoot a little then after I went out on the patio he would sit clack his beak and fly away. .

That is to cute thanks for sharing. As you posted about owls I read an article that was really surprising. The owl cannot move his eyes right or left, he has to turn his head.

He can open one eye and blink one eyelid too.
