I am very upset and puzzled. It is a complete mystery. I always close the catch after feeding
him. I can not understand how it
was left open. Is it possible a stranger
walked into the yard and opened the catch to let him out?
Or was it left open by mistake when someone checked on him?
Whatever the reason, I am worried about
Amigo’s chances of survival. With a
barely healed broken wing and one blind eye, coupled with his lack of exercise
for the last two and a half weeks and his refusal to feed on his own, I
think his survival chances in the wild are slim. Added to these problems, white-faced owls do
not normally occur in town, so he will be unlikely to find any of his
kind. However, I just have to hope for the
best and that he will make it somehow.
Goodbye, my dear and beautiful friend Amigo...
