Got towels? This little screech owl found itself in a flower bed covered in mud. Thankfully someone found it and brought it to the Raptor Center where we were able to give them a bath and get them ready to join the 13 other baby screech owls in the “hunting school” before being released back to nature. As you can imagine, these little floofs use a lot of resources and we could use a restock! Paper towels are always in need!
Awwww poor wee one. I hope the bath water was good & warm & they got dried off in a nice floofy towel
This is a different, but similar looking owl to give you a close approximating of the floofing process.

Owls seem to enjoy bathing from the videos I’ve seen. The shake and shimmy to get all their bits cleaned up.
