A Barn Owl gazes at the camera with a pair of almond-shaped black eyes. The fine white feathers around his face have natural crevices, forming a V shape from the inside corner of each eye and converging at the tip of his pinkish-white beak. It's like a lowercase q and p were conjoined at the tail, and angling towards 11 and 1 o'clock. He appears wise, draped in a sage towel as if posing for a royal portrait.

Initial rescue 28 Sep 2023

Another seriously underweight Eastern Barn Owl. Willy, Barn Owl number 10 from Williamstown. Willy is up and standing this morning. He has made it through the night with supportive care. Fingers crossed for this lovely Owl. The first 48 hours is the critical time to see him pull through.

Follow-up post 29 Sep 2023

Update on Willy… He is now hydrated and eating solid food. Yay Willy….
