Snickers the Foster Mom

From Liberty Wildlife

Foster great horned owl momma "Snickers" with two recent orphans. Our non-releasable birds of prey often get the maternal instinct at this time of year. They will willingly take orphans of their own species to raise as their own. Upon release, the babies are then more fit to survive in the wild as they have little chance of being imprinted on humans.

  • That look moms give you when you ask "are they really you're children?"

    • "If I raise 'em, they're my darn kids!" 🤨

      I'm always pleasantry surprised how hard the owls drop their anti-social behavior and really take to protecting the fosters so frequently.
