Release goes wrong, owl nearly drowns

[@vjapple3083]

I love how the owl is like, "Guys I messed up. Please help. Its wet, it's cold, and I want out"

[@FruityKitchenOfficial]

thats totally awesome eh? :D (I mean the owl's trust in those guys)

[@vjapple3083]

Fruity Kitchen Yeah. I wish my own dog loved me that much ;-;

[@danielpark6332]

+VJ CatGirl same

[@oliviarobinson7869]

I love the fact that he trusted you enough to swim towards you for help. He looked very happy to be snuggled into that raincoat!😊💖

[@dustigenes]

@J Scotland I suppose it would have been better then if he just drowned, right? The don't make "friends" with the animals in their care, however, had he not had the sense to go back toward then he most likely would have died from drowning or hypothermia.

[@Wal48]

dustigenes Quite right. If he’d headed away from people they would probably not found him and he may have died of exposure. This don’t befriend animals thing is a bit 50/50. At least if a released animal survives long enough to breed and produce more wild offspring then it’s all been worthwhile.

[@zahrarahmandari3927]

To see how the owl swims back to the rescuer, it really touches my heart :')

[@fabienneschults4770]

It's amazing that it swam toward you. It knows to trust you

[@dreamnorman1526]

I thought it was so cute!

[@fabienneschults4770]

+Kayleigh Norman it is

[@Raison_d-etre]

Birds are smarter than people give them credit for.

[@fabienneschults4770]

+Reason well to be fair....owls are one of the dumber animals who walk( I guess fly in this case) on the planet. And I know it's true, I got 2 owls as pets. there idiots

[@dreamnorman1526]

Fabiënne Schults they're*

[@reyonnamelton6517]

It warms my heart to see a fragile owl, put all its trust into a human. You guys must have really bonded with these beautiful animals, keep it up 😊😉

[@scoutbarry8131]

Yes I agree possibly one day a animal won't want to leave them!

[@lailukaislurking]

Scout Barry That isn't a good thing, just saying.

[@gamzeemakara7029]

its not a good thing, wild animals are not supposed to imprint on humans

[@sydgamer6665]

Owls are quite intelligent. He probably just recognized her and knew she would help. Lets applaud his intelligence rather than start a conspiracy theory on whether or not he's bonded or imprinted to her. Besides he flew away to begin with so he cant be that bonded.

[@why.2666]

a cormorant didn't. his release day'S was failure

[@CourtneyRayPhoto]

Poor owl was just confused! So smart of you all to stick around for a second to see if it all went okay! You all are so great and this owl rescue was one of my favorite rescues!

[@dupondavignon869]

It was funny how he went towards humans, like "hey mum, help me!".

[@iriyabran]

Maybe he was looking for an excuse to go back. :D

[@redfox4561]

iriyabran Owls thoughts: hmm I have to hunt for my own food now?...naw NO TY! "pretends to drown"

[@barbaratschudy9882]

+redfox4561 Lol. Cute.

[@ihavenoredeemingqualities3689]

I love how he swims to you because he knows you guys are great people and will help him! :D

[@carlywang3136]

It was so adorable how the owl came to her as if he recognised her and knew she would help him!

[@ajapatterson2157]

awwwww i love owls he swam right to her for help and once he was warm and comforted he closed his eyes to say ahhhh here i am safe

[@birdblackbird4766]

I love how Simon just hands the owl his coat. It's just pure love :)

[@kukuibuss]

Owl might not have the knowledge that owls can't swim, but he was smart enough to head for help when he got into trouble. Silly bird. XD

[@tengu190]

No idea that owls could swim, awesome!

[@DrewTheRotund]

+tengu190 "I didn't know owls could fly"

[@wowforreeel]

I think the owl had no idea it could swim either.

[@kennethbryant832]

+XxEpicPilot4UxX "Also didn't know it was a bird"

[@savagedoggo]

tengu190 only when they have to

[@Misa_plays10]

[@alixena9340]

Nawh, bless this little owl, to go back to the person for help. Shows how he trusts you. Well done.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Dang, that owl knew exactly where to go for help and swam toward the human, so smart! What lovely creatures, simply gorgeous! I want to hug all 7 of those fluff balls!!! Thank you so much for your terrific work!

[@hilariousdelirious1210]

The owl was like SAVE ME AGAIN

[@kaviteas]

It was so cute when Simon was saying, "But no, you swam to water saying 'Rescue Me, Rescue Me' :)"

[@AveMaria82100]

Owls are such beautiful creatures. I am so glad he/she survived.

[@rosethehat2073]

I feel like this video proves that animals know when you rescue them. That owl was so comfortable swimming up to her. It’s like it knew that it needed to be rescued again, and that she was someone it could trust.

[@Matthew-Anthony]

I wouldn't say it went "wrong." It was more along the lines of "did not go as planned." The owl did struggle, obviously. However, it did not suffer any injuries and did make it back to land, pretty much, all on its own. I am very glad that everything worked out well.

[@Bkkzn]

yeah he could have easily gotten back to land without her help

[@magdalenamustermann8434]

Speed Waifu Well, the owl would have had a hard time swimming through those plants

[@pappajinx]

Poor baby, went straight to her for help. What a smart little thing!

[@rhiannn3416]

These owls know what you've done for them - no doubt. That poor little owl knew right where to go - to you guys! It was so beautiful.

[@BlackFlagHeathen]

I love that the poor baby swam right back to you guys. He knows you’d be able to help him. I hope he’s ultimately thrived and had many healthy, happy babies. ❤️

[@Crayolapup]

That owl is so cute and innocent. He swam back to the rescuers. He loves them.

[@LittleLulubee]

Aaaw, poor baby! I hope he was able to find the other owls after that. I love how the man speaks to them- he's so loving

[@spookygremlins]

When first landed that owl was confused and looked around instead of swimming toward the closet land!! And after seeing the rescuers in sight he was like Heyyyyyyy help meeee!!!! Is it just me who notice he was looking at the woman's hand and stop flapping on water as if he knows that she's picking him up?!?!?!? This is adorable

[@manglethefabfox6718]

This almost made me cry, thank u for saving the poor creature

[@Skeliana]

Omg same!

[@kerrykestrowl6785]

I love tawnies thank you for taking good care of these beautiful owls

[@elenadehowler1109]

That’s what I call trust! Also WHO IS CHOPPING ONIONS IN HERE?!?!

[@xxNikkeh]

That owl really confided in you guys. It's great to see that your rescue animals understand that you are there for their aid!

[@yukigwapa]

Its just amazing knowing that people like you guys exist! Thank you!

[@TheLegoDude29052]

Awwww he comes back like: I was wrong! I need you! Help! Love me!

[@z.aphir.]

It shows how you treat any animal. You obviously did a fantastic job!

[@Eignal.8692]

Even though the rescue went wrong you guys still did a great job as always

[@kizildere]

People like you are the only hope I have for our planet. Thank you.

[@busalaja]

aww that was too cute when he was trying to swim toward her!

[@Chcainex]

I love how the owl just swam back to her it was so sweet

[@traviseast9731]

Wildlife Aid You guys are amazing. It is nice to see people that really care about animals like i do.

[@wildlifeaid]

Travis East Thank you very much, make sure to subscribe to keep following our work!

[@gabbistudier]

It's just amazing how he came right to you, almost like saying "please help!"

[@HanyouxFromxHell]

"I know you, you helped me get better! I'm a little...um...wet? Yeah, you said I'm wet, can you make me fly again? Please?" -Wet Owl :) So cute that he swam right back, and super glad that you were able to re-release him a few days later

[@TheHorsenation]

that was cute how he clearly came to you for help. I guess he will remember now not to land in water.

[@blxtothis]

What an impressive wing stroke from the little Tawny, Olympic standard that!😊

[@JourneyInTheCity]

god bless you guys! thank you, thank you so much. i am so blessed to have found your page, its two in the morning and i can not go to sleep, not after seeing all these beautiful rescues. I am so happy you stayed, and when the owl landed down, and didn't come back, you just knew something was not quite right. thank you so much, for being there for these animals!

[@brookeroberts6113]

It's adorable how the owl knew he needed help and swam right to the woman! A swimming owl is no joke the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my whole life

[@soohyunjang5540]

That is beautiful and adorable, the amount of trust shown by the owl. I can imagine him going, aw shit!!! and tries to swim back.

[@hipocampelofantocame]

You all are the definition of wildlife aid and rescue. Tremendously good job.

[@fougolden722]

Oh the little sweetheart. Thank you for helping them.

[@amandadonegan2137]

That was incredible how the Owl could actually swim, let alone head for help! OMG 💚💚💚

[@susy4710]

I love that the owl trusted that girl enough to swim towards her for help instead of swim in a different direction

[@DarkGhirahim]

He knew he made a mistake. XD silly bird.

[@gracemeredith5375]

And at that moment Mr. Owl knew he fucked up.kinda Overused joke but still

[@reptiloid5848]

The fault wasn't with the owl, but with those who released it over the water. They are not ducks.

[@piyushkumar-gw1kg]

you all guys are awesome...i would like to join your team..:)

[@wildlifeaid]

+piyush kumar Awesome! you can become a volunteer -> bit.ly/1tyStrS

[@alenewesner1287]

The love shown in this re-rescue touched my heart! Well done indeed!!!

[@Chocobear555]

I'm glad he knew that he could go to her for help.

[@Aamria]

I wouldnt say it went wrong, i think the poor little thing just got confused. I mean its not like you guys threw it in the water. But did it get released after the owls feathers dried out??

[@wildlifeaid]

Yes Aamria, he was released a few days later.

[@OmegaMegalodon]

Wildlife Aid u guys are awesome!

[@wildlifeaid]

Vincent Jack Thank you!:)

[@charliekane135]

Good grief. I've I've literally never seen an owl swim. Amazing 💕

[@lisalynnette5810]

That was adorable, I can't believe it swam towards her! It must have really trusted you guys. But I feel bad that it ended up landing in water in the first place..

[@christianpascua1441]

thanks for saving my very favourite birds!!!

[@misterrainbow52]

I like how the owl trust you so much that instead of trying to fly again, it tries to come back to you all... :')

[@neinkalando2519]

That was beautiful, I love when I see and read about people who are so loving and caring

[@boomchicka5629]

I love you guys and other animal rescue organizations so much. I am going to donate so much money as I get older, I promise!!

[@wildlifeaid]

Thank you very much Boom Chicka bit.ly/ZSmwPX

[@CelticAngel555]

He knew you were coming for him. Beautiful... Trust... Love...

[@mountainsurge7235]

Love your video! It's absolutely amazing the passion and respect you have for these animals! Just amazing, this owl knew exactly what to do. He trusted her and so he went to her. Beautiful just awesome

[@cretians]

Awwww the towel that was readied for him. Little love! Blessss

[@toocoolfurschoolanimals5618]

Thank goodness you spotted it in the water!!

[@chloeyetter195]

I love that moment, when u release/save an animal and when u let them go, they turn and look at u as a thank u before they run off

[@Bubbaluv8]

I wouldn't even call that a "rescue gone wrong"- as usual, you guys stick around and watch carefully. What trust, he swims to you! I know, he needs to develop his independence from humans, and I'm sure he will with time in the wild, but really sweet to see. You guys rock.

[@pembrookewaters3389]

Awww it swam toward Stanni! And then Simon took off his jacket to wrap around the poor baby! Such beautiful souls!

[@charlotteh24x96]

It was so heart warming the way the owl came to the lady

[@thomasho3500]

that owl knows that u guys r good ppl and u guys take more than good care of the wildlife

[@eastbelfastno1]

I love tawny owls they reali have a special place in my heart and when I watch this I laugh a lot....... It just proves that wildlife releases don't always go as planned but almost all of the time you get a fantastic feeling of seeing an animal released back into the wild where they belong 😃

[@onetuliptree]

Six owls back in the wild, wonderful! One preferred life in shelter....

[@cassandrahepp6445]

I love how this owl got in trouble and heads straight for the humans. No doubt he knows they equal safety. Happy he was safely retrieved!!!

[@ivymills4468]

the owl is so freaking cute!!!!!!

[@inachu]

You showed the owl love and now it is barn sour and loves your support.

[@007NowOnline]

Aww, poor guy was like "HELP" and starts swimming towards you guys again. Very sad sight. Glad he was was saved and he seemed to feel safe again in your care. :)

[@cassadanielle]

I'd love to do something like this. This is like a dream for me.

[@wildlifeaid]

+Cassadanielle Picasso You can start by volunteering at a wildlife centre near you, I'm sure they would really appreciate another volunteer to help out, even if it's only for a couple of hours a week :)

[@cassadanielle]

Yeah... Am currently searching. Thanks a lot.

[@wildlifeaid]

+Keisha Patterson No, sorry, but let me know if you find some, it's always good to know fellow wildlife rehabbers!

[@janemillerick9614]

+Wildlife Aid l've heard that the only people (nyc) who are licensed are Sean Casey Rescue (Brooklyn NY). atleast they are able to care for many animals who should not be pets (ny state law.) mostly they do dog/ cat etc adoptions. they do have reptile experts and so on. l'm not sure whether they would do raptors...

[@cassadanielle]

Thanks a lot. Looking for an org.

This was so beautiful, such adorable little creatures.

[@kaerligheden]

Ohhhh that was so beautiful!!!!! The owl knows where he can get help from....

That's the first time I ever saw an owl swimming - especially back toward them! What a lucky fella!

[@terminalfrost3645]

maybe he just wanted a snuggle in his coat lol, sweet when he had his eyes closed at the end, he just didn't want to leave lol.

[@RainWalking]

Good thing they waited to make sure everything was going ok. Otherwise they would not have seen the owl fall in to the lake.

[@tranquility9325]

[@janetkellykelly4250]

I'm so glad they were there to help him

[@PlanetAMV]

I think he thinks he's part fish...

[@Whydoineedahandlepissoff]

He wants to be a fish

[@froggygus]

he sexually identifies himself as a water strider.

[@glitchyglitchy3925]

Interesting that it swam towards the crew. I guess that one learned to associate humans with safety.
