The owl got a wing caught in a narrow space on the roof of one of the neighbor's vacation rental units. The wing was twisted around at an odd angle and had some blood on it. When we managed to get the wing released, the owl tried to fly but fell to the ground. At first it did not look good, sprawled on the ground gasping for breath. But after a few minutes it seemed to regain strength, stood up, and we were able to gently coax it in to a large cardboard box. At first it was completely dragging the wing, but once in the box it began to draw the wing closer to its body.
The neighbor drove the owl to an animal rehab center about an hour away. The owl was alert and active by the time they got there. The rehab center people were not initially sure if the wing was broken, but they said the owl looked good overall and they were optimistic about being able to patch it up.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
