@westshorewildlife: Some of our patients are louder than others 😅 This Barred Owl (patient 26-68) has a lot to say and makes sure we hear it loud and clear! This is a defensive call letting us know to back off and likely to warn other nearby animals that there are predators (humans) near by. P.S. we are handling this vocal bird near the ground as a safety measure to itself. Often times raptors come in with broken wings and cannot fly. In order to make sure they don't take any falls and further injure themsevles, we will often handle them very close to, or on the ground when pulling them out of their enclosure to administer medications or to clean up. ##westshorewildlifecenter##wildliferehabilitation##inspirecoexistence##barredowl##owl
