From Florida Keys Wild Bird Rehab
A few weeks ago, we received this nestling Eastern Screech Owl after it was found after falling from its nest. Our staff work hard to ensure any babies in our care do not imprint on us. This includes covering our faces when treating young patients and putting a small mirror in their incubator. While this owl may not recognize its own reflection, having a reflection in the incubator will act as a “buddy” while this patient recovers.
*that look when someone catches you checking yourself out in the mirror
I’ll peer around the doorway when my gf is brushing her hair or something and give her a jump scare like when a face appears in the mirror in a horror movie and then she has the same look as the owl! 😇
