As the temperature drops, one familiar owl swoops back to Avian Avenue. ❄️💙🦉 Join us in welcoming Crystal the Snowy Owl back from her summer vacation behind the scenes! She can now be viewed in her aviary behind the gift shop.

Crystal lives at the World Bird Sanctuary because she previously suffered an unknown collision and broke her wing and sustained severe damage to her right eye. She was deemed non-releasable because she is not able to fly well enough to survive in the wild and is blind in one eye.

Each aviary has been modified for the specific resident inside. This includes perching, water, access to shelter, and other considerations related to that species’ natural history.

Did you know that the mating call of a tawny owl inspired a line of Shakespeare? 💙 We recently paid a visit to Shakespeare’s Glen and the set of Romeo & Zooliet! 🦉 Forest met with audience members and one of our naturalists educated about him and how we can help owls locally.

We’re all big fans of Barton the Barred Owl and his many vocalizations! Though he’s fully grown, he still makes juvenile sounds at his trainers due to being socialized with humans from a young age.

Rose is a permanent resident at WBS due to the permanent wing damaged she sustained after she was discovered entangled in a barbed wire fence. Because she is unable to fly, she was deemed non-releasable and instead lives happily at the Sanctuary as an ambassador for her species.

Ocular damage is often not visible from just looking at a bird, which is why it is important to contact a licensed rehabilitator who can do a thorough assessment if you have a potentially injured animal.
