ESTHER


This beautiful Great Horned Owl is named ESTHER. She seemed to love to swim in her water pan when I got her. You have to be old enough to know who Esther Williams is to see the connection.

She came here with a badly broken toe on her left foot which had to be amputated. ESTHER spent some time in this smaller cage while the surgery site healed and then out with the other GHOs getting her flight muscles strengthend. As you can see from her attitude in this photo, she certainly knows she's a big tough bird and nobody better mess with her. She is now out in the wild and hopefully will grow old where she belongs.
