From Seaside Seabird Sanctuary
We need everyone’s help to wish our beloved Rufous the Eastern Screech Owl the happiest of birthdays!
Rufous has been a permanent resident at the Sanctuary for 10 years, & we believe he is around 13 years old. He originally came in after sustaining significant head trauma after being hit by a car, & he was deemed non-releasable due to damage to his hearing as well as the loss of vision in his right eye. Rufous was our very first official Avian Ambassador, & we love him dearly.
They are very cute! Just the other week I had to make myself eat the chocolate owl someone got me last Valentine’s Day because I thought it was cute, but I was tired of seeing it around the house! 😅
