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!
I didn’t know that. It’s good to learn.
I hadn’t known any real specifics, so it was fun for me to read all that. When you guys ask questions, it gives me new things to read about I may not have gotten around to or forgot, so always feel free to ask me about things! I’ll always do my best to answer so I can learn too.
