That is odd, but your right if it isn't gone by time you get back with Terron you could be in trouble! LOL She will have it made into a pet if your not carefull, hehe. Hopefully he is just "hanging out" and not hurt.

Even though it is a chicken preditor, I'm glad you got it off the fence.

Took us about 30 min. Got the owl free. Packing up paint supplies that DH needs & heading to Lawton with the owl. A part of his underside was wrapped around the barb on the fence. His nose is pretty scrapped up but if the shock of hanging upside down wasn't too much I think he will be fine.
Here is a pic w my phone.

Ohhh poor thing! At least he picked the right house to get stuck at. Maybe word is getting around the animal world that you're one of the good guys.

A pigmie goat roasted on a smoker for about 10 hours with some of that green stuff would make short work of the goat. I grew up on goat meat, and I do like me some smoked goat.

I know the owl is a predator to my birds, but you tell my girls we should just let the owl hang & die on the fence.

It didn't look to tore up @ first. I just dropped the owl off & the drive into town allowed it to get rested enough to want to bite & flap it's wings. The lady had its feet & it was sitting upright & began flapping (gracefully, not like a mad rooster). You could see the skin under the rib cage was torn & a raw spot under the wing. I still don't understand how it was stuck but when the barb wire caught its underside it twisted its self around the wire several times. We had to cut the fence to get it loose then got the wire off. I am sure the owl will be getting a few stitches. They said it was a baby horned owl-- but that baby was big. Wing span at least 5ft. Don't think I could have gotten it loose on my own. Taron held it in a towel while I held its feet & Alexis cut the fence. Hopefully he pulls through.
