Bubo virginianus
This owl is Frosty and he has the most amazing story. He was hit by a car, the people who hit him brought him home with them where he was attacked by their dog, losing his right wing. These people didn't know what to do and thought they were being humane when they decided to put him in a freezer. When they opened the freezer a couple days later they saw that he was still alive and finally decided to take him to a rescue. Funny thing is that they actually saved his life by putting him in the freezer and that is how he got his name Frosty. He now lives at the Birds of Prey Foundation.
