They were looking for volunteers to transport some of their avian guests for release. My partner and I jumped at the opportunity and we got to meet this little one at the centre in Green Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BCA treated him for gluey feathers from the resin of a parapara tree (aka the birdcatcher tree). They gave him a soapy bath and some time to restore his waterproofing. On this day he had a full belly from his yummy treat \ud83d\udc01 full of energy and couldn&#8217;t wait to get out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/127.0.0.1\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/n6TF59X.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-193\" width=\"756\" height=\"1008\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And here he is back in the wild! We released him in a wooded area close to the spot he was originally found. It was much too dark to get video, but a quick flash photo was enough to show he was alright, and that he&#8217;d found a satisfactory branch to perch on. Go well little buddy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udde1\ud83e\udd89 #owlsintowels<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>For those willing and able please consider helping fund Birdcare Aotearoa at the following <a href=\"https:\/\/birdcareaotearoa.org.nz\/donate\/?reference=owlsintowels.org\"><strong>DONATION LINK<\/strong><\/a>.
