I'm starting with the ~~man~~ owl in the mirror!
submitted by https://lemmy.world/u/anon6789
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.
