Barn Owl Entanglement 

This adult barn owl was rescued by Seattle Parks and Recreation and Seattle Animal Control personnel last week when it got entangled in kite string 40 feet up in a tree. A big shout out to their efforts and going above and beyond to help this owl in trouble. When the owl arrived at PAWS, she exhibited some coordination issues that suggested she had suffered some head trauma during the entanglement. Her right wing was also drooping. We treated her with fluids and provided some pain medication and anti-inflammatories. Fortunately, she suffered no orthopedic issues and bounced back quickly. She will be released soon!
