A pocket-sized owl is on the mend in Massachusetts.
Newhouse Wildlife Rescue says the saw-whet owl is the smallest species in all of New England. They even posted a photo of the owl next to a banana to show just how tiny it is.
The owl was found in someone’s driveway, unable to fly because it had two broken bones. Rescuers brought her to Cape Ann Wildlife, where they were able to wrap her little wing while it heals.
Newhouse Wildlife Rescue also put out a call for donations to Cape Ann Wildlife, saying the agency has saved many animals over the years. The organization’s founder is currently being treated for cancer and hasn’t been able to focus on fundraising as much as usual.
“She still helped wrap this little owl’s wing, even with all she is going through,” Newhouse said. “She is a very kind soul. Still now, she is giving and healing, as she has for many years.”
