From Owl Rescue Centre
We have eight different species of African owls living on the sanctuary. The Southern white-faced owls are our 3rd most common species.
Most common are in order: Barn owls, Spotted Eagle owls, White-faced owls, Marsh owls, Pearl Spotted owls, African scops owls, Verreaux’s eagle-owls and lastly African Grass owls.
We also have one solitary African wood owl which theoretically makes him the 9th species. He was accidentally released a couple of years ago when we had that huge fire, but If we’re ever able to catch him, we’ll relocate him back to his indigenous area. 😉
I love all of them :)
They are pretty cute in any shape or form! I was hoping to see one this month when I was at the Brooklyn Zoo, but it’s no longer there. I hear the Bronx Zoo has one, but I didn’t have time to head up there on that trip.
It’s my next owl goal to see one though!
