Rosie the Northern Saw-whet Owl is mostly prim and proper, but sometimes she’s caught double fisting her meals.
A girl’s gotta get in her protein.
In all seriousness, Rosie’s trainer and other volunteers have been keeping a close eye on Rosie’s weight to make sure she’s adapting well to her new home. Eating well is a great sign!
This pic has a little more graphic content than I’d normally share, but this little owl is just too cute! Unedited pic in the comments if you want to see those grabby feet doing their thing.
I appreciate you showing both, gore isn’t for me but I’m glad those who aren’t bothered by it get to see the original image as well.
Exactly. I have to do some pretty funky stuff in caring for animals, and some of it still makes me a bit squeamish. There’s plenty of things that are natural behavior that I don’t want to see! 😜
I’m glad you still got to enjoy this cute little owl.
