For owls that are superb.

From Raven Ridge Wildlife Center

This year has been remarkable for our efforts in admitting and caring for Barn Owls. Despite never having had any Barn Owls as patients, we've recently admitted four owls in the last few weeks. These majestic creatures were trapped in a silo and almost overlooked during the silage emptying process by a farmer. Each of them received a thorough examination and a sumptuous dinner to satisfy their large appetite. We collaborated with Dan Mummert, the PA Game Commission biologist for our area, to ensure the well- being of these magnificent birds. After being banded, they were successfully relocated to nest with other active and fledging owls, and they are currently being carefully monitored. These owls are thriving in their new safe environment, and are adapting well among fellow Barn Owls.
