From Blackland Prairie Raptor Center
When life gives you oil… you get a bath you didn’t ask for.
This great horned owl came into our rehab center coated in an unknown oily substance - definitely not part of their natural beauty routine. Our rehab team stepped in for an emergency spa day!
While this owl might look like it’s questioning all its life choices, these baths are a critical step in saving wildlife affected by environmental contamination.
Don’t worry, once cleaned and dry, this feathered warrior will be on the road to recovery!
That’s the face of resignation. :D
Poor feathery beast. Thanks for the photo story. Now I know how an owl bath is done.
PS: I might have an idea where Jim Henson got his inspiration from.
I was shocked to see that there was no photo after they returned it to its noble self.
I am glad you enjoyed it. I see a number of great horned owls in these posts. Get baths because they like to attack skunks.
They may be beautiful to look at, but they have no sense of taste, literally. 😁
Same energy
