A pair of Owls I photographed at a rehab centre….

The first I posted a photo of, on Fathers Day… a Cape Eagle-Owl… it had been brought to the rehab centre after being hit by a car, it was to be released back into the wild… and I believe it now has..

The second is a African Grass-Owl…. it had been taken away from someone who decided it would be nice to have as a pet… confiscated and brought to the rehab centre… it would have to stay there as apparently it has no idea how to catch its own food, or who it’s natural enemies are… they are not prepared to send it to a certain death so it is kept for education…
