Refurbished again – little pygmy owl became a storm victim

Date:

A very special and especially delightful guest was nursed back to health in the care center of the Adlerarena Burg Landskron in Carinthia.

The severe storms of the summer have also affected local birds. A little pygmy owl was also killed. She was the only one lucky in adversity.

The nest tree of the pygmy owl family had fallen over, only one of the young survived the fall. In the care center of the Adlerarena Burg Landskron, the little owl was successfully prepared for her life in freedom. The young bird was recently released into the wild.

“During the fledgling stage, the young owls, which are still unable to fly, explore the area around the nest with fluttering jumps and also skillfully use their beaks to climb. During this time, they will be cared for by their parents,” explains falconer Franz Schüttelkopf from the normal case: In Carinthia, this second smallest native owl species can be found on the island – even in the center of Spittal.
