A western screech owl patient with fertilizer burns on its feet receiving treatment.
Ahh… Relief!
That looks very painful. Plus some owls use their feet for so much it must really hinder things. Glad they got into the right place to get better.
They’re some of the most important parts they’ve got!
Poor lil babe. You’re gonna be ok!
I feel a little bad posting some of these because it looks painful, but it’s also such a relief it was found and got taken in to get fixed up.
With damaged feet, it would hardly be able to do anything to get food or stay safe, but now it’s in good hands until it can take care of itself again.
Yeah it’s super cool that this little one got fixed up. Thank you for posting!
Always a pleasure to highlight beautiful birds and the people looking out for them!
Add distraction tags! Poor lil dude
I love when you guys show you’ve been learning things! 🥰
I’m not sure if they have room for them on those tiny toes. They probably need to make sure it can still stand and also little tabs might be a choking hazard. Hopefully its tootsies heal up quickly and it’s not an issue!
