Please read what happened to this poor little owl and how he was rescued and had a happy ending.
My heart goes out to any creature that encounters any kind of threat and accident due to careless humans.
On January 5, Santa Clara County’s Injured and Orphaned Wildlife Inc.
came to International Bird Rescue with a Western Screech Owl that had
flown into insulation foam as workers were insulating an attic. With its
face coated in hardened foam, its life was in danger.
As soon as the patient arrived at our San Francisco Bay Wildlife
Rescue Center he was examined and stabilized. We administered anesthesia
and started to carefully remove some of the foam that was smothering
large portions of his face and body.
The bird had been attempting to preen off this toxic material, and had
ripped a big patch from his chest before he arrived at the Center.
Clinic staff removed several chunks of foam from his mouth and we are
hopeful that the rest will be cast in a pellet.
