We often see videos of small orphaned animals saved, but due to human intervention, they are then destined to spend the rest of their lives in some sort of confinement.
But here's a different story.
Three little owls were found on the ground when their nest fell out of a tree. They were saved and fed, and efforts were made to keep them from becoming attached to humans.
But then came the problem of getting them back in the wild.
Watch how one of the owls was snuck back into an existing nest when the mother owl was away...
Really, just how beneficial IS the owl?
Results from a study, showed that barn owls ate small rodents of all kinds. Two parent owls and their six owlets ate 1,000 mice, shrews and rats during a three month period! And everyone knows how fast rodents reproduce; just imagine if we didn't have owls around to keep rodent numbers in check! Studies like this prove the helpful role that owls play in nature.
