Oliver our little education owl at Green Cay is doing quite well. He's eating three mice a day in addition to assisting in our bird classes and storytime sessions. On our monthly night walks he comes in to give our visitors a special treat. All in all, he's been very well behaved. Yesterday I had an animal handling training workshop with our volunteers and they had a chance to pick him up for the first time. Soon we will have a perch in the nature center so that more visitors will be able to see him. For those that don't know, Oliver was hit by a car this year and had a wing amputated. He now lives at Green Cay and serves as an animal ambassdor to school kids and the general public.
If you're into birds and educational opportunities come out to Green Cay on October 31st (Halloween) for our annual Migration Celebration. We will have crafts for the kids, speakers, a raptor show, and hopefully a rehabbed bird release into the wetlands. For more information see our website.
