Dynamite comes in small packages

Pearl spotted owls are one of the smallest african owls but have enormous personality and attitude. This young owl was admitted to Wildcare Africa with a fractured tibia. The fracture was immobilised with external splinting and, with special care and nursing, the owl recovered rapidly and was released from a hacking cage over a four week period that enabled the owl to build up fitness.
