The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
A five-week-old barn owl, named “Jasper,” born on February 16, is being hand raised for the Cincinnati Zoo's outreach program. Jasper came to Cincinnati from the World Bird Sanctuary in Saint Louis, MO. He is spending quality time getting acquainted with Zoo staff because his days will soon include interacting with school children, greeting visitors at the Zoo, and traveling to schools throughout the Tri-state, as an official Zoo Outreach Animal.
If anyone was within about fifty yards of this baby barn owl during the squawk in the first photo, they dropped to their knees and bled from the ears.
Speaking from experience.
I have read in numerous places how screechy their cries are. But when I hear them on the computer, they don’t seem so loud.
Maybe it’s because I was in a room with the bird, but that screech went through my head from right to left and took out everything in between. Must be a defense mechanism, very unfair to rehabbers who are trying to help it and not eat it.
I really depends how loud your computers turned up doesnt it?
