Rescuing an....OWL? - Stray Rescue of St.Louis

[@ludofeyaerst]

No animal left behind.

[@thulekovish8188]

The fact that he/she doesn't fly away at Donna's approach tells something is not right. The owl needs help. That's what Donna does: helping the helpless. Her work is meaningful, her heart is noble.

I googled torticollis (as was mentioned in the description) and it is a wrenched neck muscle that is tight, it varies in severity, can be helped with treatment and may be cured. So for anyone like me who felt sad for this owl there is a good chance it will get better and be able to be released. I was very relieved that what the owls head and neck were doing wasn't caused by poisoning. Apparently it is usually the result of some type of head trauma. Must be a healthy bird to survive the knock to the head that caused this injury. Praying for a full recovery and release, Dot

Probably flew into a window or car.

Stray Rescue is getting to be the Midwest's answer to Hope for Paws. Like them, this group started out with dogs and a few cats, and now people call them for any animal in need of rescue. I think they are both wonderful.

[@majinvegeta7777]

Both rescues having amazing people with such beautiful souls..

[@michaelgraham5934]

Thank You for helping ALL ANIMALS. Hopefully this owl survives and can be released back to his habitat. Your rescues of Pitties is great. They are a truly misunderstood breed.

[@enricotoesca3941]

[@monatoney3474]

WOW AN OWL 🦉 YOU'RE A SUPER WOMAN DONNA

[@miloomighty226]

Amazing rescue 👍👏 great work n thank you very much Donna 💞 you are a big heart Ma'am 🙏🤲❤👏💞

[@anng.4542]

Torticollis - A rare condition in which the neck muscles contract, causing the head to twist to one side. The most common type causes the chin to pull toward the shoulder. The treatment is physical therapy and sometimes surgery.

[@78ABates]

Poor creature! Seemed to know that you were there to help! Thank you for keeping all of them safe.

[@amandahor7]

Donna! You’re amazing and I’m so glad that you’re able to capture this on video.

[@enricotoesca3941]

So sweet ❤️

[@judytruitt6703]

I have rescued several owls hit by cars I have never seen one upside down. I just wrap them in towels set them on the car seat and take to rescue. Always leave the towel on them!!

[@gudrunwunsche333]

Donna, you are wonderful as usual

[@Gigi-14]

Thank goodness you spotted her Donna! She probably ran into a window or something and injured her neck muscles. When they cramp up it does this, but I believe they can recover from this condition and be re-wilded after treatment. 😊

[@Cattitude48]

So thankful you could help. Please keep us updated.

[@barbararodriguez642]

BENDIGO EL BIEN EN TI HERMOSO BUHO Y EN LA PERSONA QUE TE RESCATO. SALUDOS

[@lynettedundon1410]

Please give us updates! Thanks for all you do.❤️👍

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Owls are such a interesting and gorgeous bird. Thank You for getting him to a sanctuary that will know how to treat him best. I hope we learn more later and when released. Thanks for rescuing ANYTHING you come across ! lol

[@cyndifoore7743]

The owl probably flew into something and his equilibrium is messed up. We’ll need feedback on this one.

[@melaniekotze9081]

What's wrong? Thank you for rescuing any animal

[@sbear6798]

They say in the video description they contacted the World Bird Sanctuary to see if they could help. "They immediately knew the bird was suffering from torticollis, which can be caused by trauma or something in the environment and they asked if we could bring the owl to them. The team there was so helpful, went to work on him immediately and promised to do everything they could to help rehabilitate the owl so he could be released back in the wild. They even gave us an I.D. number so we can call for updates and be a part of his release! " Also in the end video pic, it looked as if the owl was able to hold his head upright again❣

[@christinejones1772]

Video stopped abruptly, can we get an update🤷🏻‍♀️🙏🏼

[@ewakoszczyk3580]

😢😢🦉💞👍👍👍👍💖💖👏

[@darlenewells3309]

*unusual 😊

[@ArmyStay0T70T8]

Yeah that's not normal owl behavior. Thank you for saving him. Any updates? Hope he's OK.

[@karronlaneNOLA]

is he going to be ok? what was his issue? thanks for the save.

[@enricotoesca3941]

😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰😰

[@joannajudson1107]

Update on the owl, please

[@deniseandros7082]

We never find out what happens to the animals.

[@BriONeil]

💔💔💔 Is he okay??

[@井草茂タマ]

🦉ですねぇ⁉️😰どうしたんだろう⁉️

[@Pjsev]

So what happened to this owl? I hope he was taken to a rescue that knows how to treat owls. Any updates?

[@sstarkey1695]

Did he live?

[@fastgurrrl]

So hoping not lead or poison.

[@anng.4542]

No, it's caused by muscle contractions. It can happen in people too, but not as dramatic-looking.

[@robertmchugh4639]

How did this turn out? What happened after you got it in the vehicle? This video is not very satisfying. There wasn't any ending. Nothing portends the future. Is it good or is it an other? Is it...... ?????

[@stuckgrenadepin.225]

It’s just a feathered dog. 🤷🏻‍♂️
