I worked with education owls for over ten years, from Great Horned Owls to Saw-whet Owls (above bird). Granted those birds had a very different outlook on humans than wild owls, but there were times they were stressed and a good program person can read those signs and know when to end a program when the owl needs it.

One of the interesting things about web cams is that as they foster familiarity, they also favor the familiar human urge to impose narrative. One of the advantages of these narratives is that – unlike the tales of Ernest Thompson Seton or the images presented in museum dioramas – they can’t be scripted.

And like humans, if a wild animal is injured he needs to be treated by a licensed medical person, not a well-intentioned accountant, plumber, or six year old child. Instead, bring your child to fundraisers, to sanctuaries, to demonstrations with trained education animals. I know nothing about kids.

State biologists believe though that the best way to reduce these releases and the resulting hybridization is through public information and education campaigns.

Infected rats, for example, no longer shun cat urine but find it an aphrodiasic.

The great thing about raising an education bird,” says Lisa, “is that you can do everything you’re never allowed to do with the wild ones.” Rehabbers have to grin and bear it during baby season; we raise incredibly cute wild birds behind masks, give them no human attention, and make sure they bond with each other and not us.
