Eastern Screech-Owl

Megascops asio

Notes:

This little screech, named "Cotton Ball", was abandoned. I took him home to nurse him till he was old enough to eat while rats by himself. This little guy was released. I am so proud.

That is so cool. Here in Costa Rica we have in this area a rescue centre where they rehab Howler Monkeys. Many orphaned monkey's grow up together in a group and progressively move from small cage to larger cage to open air cage until they they are independant. One day the entire group leaves the center, on their own, and as a family.

We pair them with a surrogate mother and give them live prey. The mother demonstrates how to catch the prey.

How did you/they teach it to hunt? Was it instinctive?
