From Florida Keys Wildlife Rehab
Our resident Barn Owl, Casper, has been staying at our hospital while acting as a foster mom for a nestling Barn Owl! The nestling was found at the end of December alone and fallen from its nest. When raising a lone owl in a rehabilitation setting you can run the risk of them imprinting on people. With this in mind, our team was curious to see how Casper would do taking on a young owl. Since the two were introduced, she has been a great foster mom and really embraced her new role.
Until the nestling is old enough to be released, Casper will be staying in an enclosure with them and will return to the sanctuary once she is done.
