This is what happens when glue traps are used. They get stuck on unintended targets like small birds, snakes, lizards and even this great horned owl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This beautiful owl was found with thick glue covering her wings, tail feathers and feet from a glue trap. When she arrived at our wildlife hospital, she was unable to open her talons on either foot \u2013 her feet were just balls of glue. Due to the amount of glue on her delicate feathers, the compassionate choice was made to sedate the owl to perform a proper cleaning. This helped keep the owl calm while our animal care team removed the excessive glue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took three \u201cbaths\u201d to remove all of the existing glue. These pictures demonstrate the great lengths of care and patience our animal care team goes through to save injured wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never use glue traps, and NEVER try to remove animals from traps yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
