Our New Snowy Owl

- We didn't want to risk transporting this beauty from the rehabilitation facility in Indiana to our facility in Brighton, via two flights, so two of REF's directors undertook a marathon drive to meet the rehabilitator in Davenport, Iowa and pick up our new snowy owl. Thanks to our Seattle member, Susan Anstine, who made arrangements with her friends, Ginny Dignoti and Tom Cooper to host us for an overnight stay in Omaha, Nebraska. After an eight-hour drive from Denver, Tom and Ginny provided our crew five-star accommodations and dining both coming and going to pick up the big white owl. We are forever grateful for their hospitality and splendid cuisine!
When we arrived back to Brighton Friday evening, we removed the aluminum band the snowy was wearing when he was originally trapped at an airport in Ontario, Canada, back in December 2013. And yes, the band and disposition of the bird was reported to the Bird Banding Laboratory! We trimmed his talons and beak, and placed anklets and jesses on him so he can begin his training as one of our educational ambassadors. In this video, Anne Price, REF's Curator is shown working on the owl and gearing him up, and eventually standing on her gloved hand, taking in his new surroundings. We're going to take it slowly now, and let him go at his own pace. Stay tuned for more updates!

Wow no wonder they’re such great hunters, the business end of those talons are no joke!
Aww sweet owl

“Huuuuh” “huhhh” “Huhh” 😂
Are those wire cutters the right tool for the job? There are many clippers with a much better design that cut more than they crush.
It’s The “Pure White” Snowy Owl 😊❤
Chim 🐦 thấy cưng quá.

Autocorrect for the title: Our new snowy owl like get nailed
Where do I get one?
ooooh mygod

口にルーターを当てるのは怖い😱
Poor owl !!! .... No freedom !!!
The owl is poor because it's injured. Freedom at that point would be indirectly killing him. These people are there to heal him of his injuries so that when he will be freed, it won't mean certain death
I honestly can't believe these people think that's ok to do too a wild animal....how sad
How sad
I feel that a nice bird like snowy maybe want or maybe need mor fredom and not have to work in some "education" scheme
just sauying
that must be scary to some unnacountaqble thing like ELECTIRCALLY FILE DOWN HIS GOD-GIVEN BEAK :(
IM SO UNHAPPY WIT ALL THIS
WHO ARE THEY SERVING ?
Прекратите мучить совушку!
