In such situations, I have bouts of empathy, I am very impressed, but I try to keep myself in hand.
All manipulations with the owl are carried out under local anesthesia, it does not hurt, but it is scary and disturbing.
On the X-ray of the Malinka scops owl, a surgical steel spoke was found in the broken wing, which was installed a year ago and apparently forgot to pull out. I didn't know anything about this operation, Kalinka and Malinka arrived without a medical history.
The needle had to be pulled out of the wing, since its tip was sticking out of the bone and when the wing moved, it touched its tissues.
Now Malinka is fine, she has occupied Kalinka's house. Probably because it's easier to climb there on twigs without the help of wings.
