From Freedom First Wildlife Rehab
Check out the glare from Minnie Mae, the Eastern Screech owl! Minnie was damaging her wing entering a traditional screech owl house so we had to change up the entrance to protect her. Daily checks and modifications are always needed to protect owls in captivity.
It’s good to know they don’t just set and forget these houses
Every place I’ve visited really seems to test the birds as individuals. It’s very good to see. They really take their needs into account.
Being a nurse, you’re very familiar with putting others’ needs first, and all the rules to follow and all the education and certification you need to get and keep to keep doing your work, so you’re probably more understanding than most of all these rehabbers need to do to get their credentials and keep them. The government makes it very hard to get these permissions, so you really have to be the right kind of people to get into these jobs.
It’s a very positive experience going to these places and getting to see good going on in the world!
