Is This Screech Owl in Trouble with the Mafia?!

Nope, it's just a cast for its tiny toes!

These boots are more than iust fashionable footwear

When birds come into our center with injured feet or toes, we apply sturdy booties to their feet to help with the healing process. This young Eastern Screech Owl was admitted after not being turned in as soon as they were found fallen from a nest. Upon admission, his toes were fractured and he was unable to perch or stand properly. We fitted him with corrective booties to allow his toes to heal and develop properly.
