From Raptors Rise Rehab Center

Sweet Barry came to us on October 30th. He had been struck by a vehicle and had a concussion as well as a badly broken beak. With time and a good vitamin enriched diet, his beak is healing well! We chopped his food for him for a long while. We do regular trimming, smoothing and shaping as the beak grows. He now can tear meat once again. Barry should be going free in early Spring! He’s been the best patient and guest!

We’ve discussed coping before, where the beak is trimmed if it grows too long. This is a bit of the opposite, where the beak has been broken off and now has to grow back.

There was an intake photo shared, but I left it out since it was pretty gory. This owl would have been in serious pain and trouble if someone hadn’t rescued it. Now it gets a second chance in life.
