The Odd Couple

From Hoo's Woods

Baby Raptor Update: Here's a moment to bring a smile this Tuesday morning: this fully grown 7-week-old barred owl keeping a watchful eye from the basket edge, while a fluffy 21-day-old red-tailed hawk nestles inside.

They aren't being raised together-we just moved them briefly during enclosure maintenance and couldn't resist capturing this sweet moment.

While the barred owl is full grown, the baby hawk still has about 3 more weeks of growing... and will eventually be even bigger than the owl.

Both are doing great and will be released or rehomed when ready.
