Only two new intakes this week, both barred owls—in fact, all four intakes this month have been barred owls. Of these two, one died overnight and the other has a fractured ulna. Vet Peggy Hobby of Smalley’s Animal Hospital says the location could be an issue if the callus that forms as it heals is too large and interferes with the movement of the radius. We’re hoping it heals for flight, though.
Merry Christmas, y’all!
