Sad day at liberty wildlife

[Birdbabe]

Yesterday morning, we lost Igor, one of our Great horned Owls, he was an ambassador and a foster daddy for orphaned babies. Igor was illegally taken from his nest, by someone who thought they could make a pet out of him...was fed the wrong diet resulting in folding fractures in his wings. The tips of his wings were removed, because he drug them on the ground and they were always hurt, bloody and sore. He was 32 years old, Fly free now Igor, with healed wings,,,forever free. This is a photo I took of him in September 1998,,,it hangs in my front room.

HOW SAD!!!! Look into his eyes!!!!

When we take them from the wild they are no safer. Never heard of him & how touching he took care of orphans. Animals can have more compassion than some of out "more evolved" humans!
