Barn Owl
Originally uploaded by battyden

An unhappy, uninjured but quite ill Barn Owl. I think she picked up a poisoned mouse last night. I'll keep her in the hospital cage for a few days until her health improves, then move her into the flight aviary.

I get to experience the joys of force-feeding lightly killed mice to a bird that hates me. Again.

Den, could you define "lightly killed"?

And that's a gorgeous owl.

Must be your sparkling personality - you'll get no tip.

Well, at least you don't have to lovingly frost them with glucose!
That owl does looked peeved.

Yeah, that owl does look pretty unhappy. Good luck with it! :/

And did that kookaburra take another chunk out of you or is he gone now?

Kookaburra has gone to a farm with a 6m flight aviary. He'll be there for about a week then they will let him go.

Just how do you "lightly kill" something?

Is it anything like this?
