From Seaside Seabird Sanctuary
They grow up so fast! 🥲
We wanted to share a progress report on our young Eastern Screech-Owl patient! The owl is developing quickly, and has now reached the stage where it is perching and beginning to self-feed.
It never ceases to amaze us how quickly baby birds grow and develop - For many species of bird, the process of development from still incubating within the egg until they leave the nest as a fledgling is often less than a month!
We’re excited to see this little one continue to develop and grow, and to soon be returned back into the wild!
It’s like a little grumpy cat. They have the same “I can’t believe this shit right now” expression.
Baby Screech attitude is some of my favorite! So small yet so miserable. They are just too cute though, with those swirls and ear bumps. It makes me think of angry penguin.
