Martin the owl still alive

Six days after receiving Martin the spotted eagle owl, he is still alive and looking a lot better. He would not eat for two days, so I started force-feeding him every evening on kapenta (small fish) and mincemeat.

He is still very scarred of anything that moves, and starts panicking every time anyone comes near the cage. I have to grab him and hold him down, trying not to touch his injured wing, and keeping well away from the claws, which are vicious. Then I feed him with the other hand by forcing open his mouth and trying to avoid the sharp end!
