An screech owl was rescued from a cat and is being kept in a private
residence in Osceola. I've seen the bird and it is alert and
standing. Attempts to contact local licensed rehabbers, Beth Brown
or Laurie Spencer have been fruitless. The DNR officer has been
notified and is trying to make further contacts, but is personally
busy with deer season going on.
My wife is a retired mammal rehabber and is still listed on another
rehabbers Iowa license. We could transport the bird to our home for
temporary hold until and experienced licensed rehabber can take over.
The residence in question is a group home for challenged individuals
and the adult on duty gets off at 3:30 and feels the bird needs to
be moved before she leaves.
For now, we are waitingand hoping those more qualified can be
reached to help this little critter.
Any suggestions on care and first aid will be appreciated.
Thank you
