Barn Owl shot with dart ready for release

Okay. Hey baby. You are so cute. Oh, I know. You love it. Wonderful. If you can hear me over the noise. This little owl right here. Somebody shot him with a blow dart. And the blow dart actually went right through his leg here. All the way through his body. And came out just under the wing right here. And so the blow dart was extracted. We got him on antibiotics. And to get him healed up. And he's doing good. Yes, he's so cute. He's doing very well and he's ready to go back to the wild. And he says, let me go or I'll eat your face. Yes, I know. You are so cute. Are we ready little one? Yes, you are. Ready?
