LAUNDRY BASKET BECOMES “NEST” FOR FALLEN OWLET

A baby Great Horned Owl thought to have blown out of his tree on a windy day, is now back in the nest thanks to a little ingenuity and a whole lot of love.

A homeowner who had been aware of the fallen owl in her driveway for a couple days, called the Bull Valley Police Department in Illinois to ask for help. Commander Page arrived on scene and carefully placed the cold owlet inside a box.

�It was just so glad to be warm because it had been out in the cold and in the snow,� said Commander Page who brought the owlet to the McHenry County Conservation District for critical care.

Within days, the owlet was ready to return to home and a laundry basket was securely rigged in the tree to raise the baby towards his mom where a happy reunion is underway. (Photo: Sara Denham, McHenry County Conservation District)

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
