Why does this little Screech Owl look so horrified? We receive nestling owls who have been fed nothing but hamburger, whose bones are so brittle from lack of calcium that they break when they try to stand. Instead, bring your child to fundraisers, to sanctuaries, to demonstrations with trained education animals.

How much do you know about owls? I’ve been fortunate to encounter many owls in my birding life, sometimes because I’m looking for them, sometimes happily by happenstance. What the Owl Knows: The New Science of the World’s Most Enigmatic Birds is a joyous, fascinating read. I don’t think so.

Xena is a Eurasian Eagle Owl. Owls are smart birds and need stimulation, so they’d supply her with an endless array of toys … including, one day, a roll of toilet paper. She has a daily training schedule, and if she misses more than a couple of days in a row she’ll act like a toddler throwing a tantrum.

If a baby bird at this stage is taken to a rehabber, it’s waste of the rehabber’s time and the chicks will miss valuable training from their parents. Owls are a little different. They don’t build nests and some like Great Horned Owls take over old hawk or squirrel nests. Leave it be.

When you review the system, it makes perfect sense: falcons are placed with hawks, nightjars are next to owls, and grebes are close to ducks, rather than separated from them by quail and grouse.
