And why does that matter for LWR’s wildlife update, you may be asking?
Well, in the wild these birds have to survive in whatever the weather, but when they’re in rehab they get a little pampering, as it were, i.e., no releases, no moves into outside pens for inside birds, and extra rations for those already in outside pens.
So the barred owl recovering from head trauma is sitting inside rather than being in a flight pen to test her flight capabilities prior to release.
There were no new intakes last week.
