Against the Blue

Seen at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove, British Columbia during the Radical Raptors Birds of Prey Presentation.

 

Hagrid is an 8-year old Great Horned Owl, who was orphaned when his parents abandoned the nest after laying the eggs. The eggs were transferred to an incubator, but Hagrid's was the only one that hatched.

 

During the years he has been at the Greater Vancouver Zoo, he has been taught to be a Great Horned Owl, having originally thought that he was a human who could fly, according to his trainer! (13-07-02-4640)
