One of our Trustees, Luciana, received an young, injured African Wood Owl late last week and she’s become our latest patient.
We’ve named her Bundi (the Kiswahili for owl) and she was found caught in a trap in the forest. Unfortunately, during the days she was stuck in this trap, she tore the ligaments in one of her wings and thus loosing the ability to fly well. Our vet, Dr Allan, told us that she had around a 50% chance of being able to fly again.
This is good news and we have since prepared a special enclosure for her in our quarantine area, with a nice perch and shelter from the sun’s rays. She is doing well, eating mincemeat and feathers every night, albeit with a bit of coersion. We will continue to care for this lovely animal and hope her wing heals well.
