Woman Found A Baby Owl And Had A Beautiful Disney Moment
Sometimes when you are out enjoying the fresh air, you see animals that have come into trouble—but most of us would not have a clue how to rescue a stranded or injured animal. Wanting to help but not knowing how is a terrible feeling; however, it wasn't the case in this heartwarming tale.
Nikki Robertson is a wildlife rehabilitator and photographer and was just the right person to stumble upon this baby owl in distress. While on a walk, she followed a cat that was crossing a road to ensure it was safe but got distracted by another noise.
Robertson told The Dodo:
“I heard what I thought was an injured squirrel. I followed the sound and found a fluffball in the wildflowers.”
It was a small eastern screech owlet.
“He was still close to the roadside. I looked around for a nest or tree hole but couldn't see anything. He was quivering a lot, and I was worried about a head injury.”
Robertson took the owlet to a friend. She placed him in a box because she was afraid of touching him too much.
“He kept trying to climb out of the closed box. When I checked on him, he would jump onto me and sit happily on the seat belt or my shoulder.”
“I'm sure he was just cold, but he did stop shivering when he snuggled into my cheek,” she added.
Robertson dropped the baby owl off at a rehab facility, and after a night in an incubator, his health improved. Once he gets stronger, the owl will be safely released back into the wild.
