From Carolina Raptor Center

Meet a very special bird - our 27,000th patient in our Raptor Hospital!

Patient #27000 is a baby Barred Owl that lost its nest during a wind storm. This baby is currently rooming with another young Barred Owl in our care, and we are hoping that we can renest both soon!

I’ve visited CRC and it’s a great place!

If you’re wondering why they are sporting some colored hairdos, that is a dye marker so the care team knows who’s who.

If there’s more than one animal kept together, this makes identifying them easy so their specific feeding and care instructions can be followed.

    That’s really excellent work, but I read the title as ‘Carolina Reaper Center Reaches Patient #27,000!’ and got quite worried.
