We recently had a feature on why are many Barn Owls white, and the story mentioned some are much more red/brown, so I found this one to share.

Whooo is this?
Last week, this little barn owl needed our help. He was found in the middle of a road in Limón, and the people who found him reported that he was hopping around but struggling to fly.
Thanks to our X-ray machine, our vets discovered a fracture in his right shoulder. They bandaged the wing to prevent further damage and to aid recovery. In addition to his injured wing, he was also skinny and dehydrated, so we provided him with fluids, and he has been eating through a feeding tube.
He is currently in quarantine at our hospital, where he will stay until he regains full mobility in his wing. Afterward, he'll move to our rehabilitation area, where we'll monitor how well he can fly.
We will keep you updated on his rehabilitation progress. In the meantime, remember that you can make an impact on the rehabilitation of animals like this barn owl by donating.
