Injured owl is hanging on

He’s such a beautiful bird but is obviously not well.  He is in shock and one of his wings is slightly damaged,  We don’t thin k that is the main problem though and fear he has some internal bruising.   He was found in the road and may have been hit by a car.  But on the plus side, he has survived the night and is eating which is a good sign.  He had nearly a whole chick overnight;  owls need fur and feather in order to digest their food properly and dead day old chicks are the perfect food for them.

Keeping him quiet and rested and feeding him is the key to his recovery and we’re hoping he’ll heal gradually.
