Got My Winter Boots On
At the Birds of Prey Show at the Discovery Center Amphitheater we saw this beautiful Great Horned Owl.
All birds in this show have all been rescued and can't be released for various reasons. This owl was "rescued" when he was a baby and instead of being turned over to a wildlife specialist, the people tried to raise him themselves.
He is perfect in every way except he has imprinted on humans and sees them as his food source, and as a result can never be released back into the wild.
The sound he makes is the sound a baby owl makes when it wants to be fed instead of the distinctive hoot an adult Great Horned Owl makes.
