Can you find
the mouse lunch that Whisper the education barn owl was given in the first photo of this series? (Hint: look to the lower left. It is hidden!)
She was also given several
enrichment “toys” to keep her mind as healthy as her body. Before she found her mouse, she chose to chase and grasp her “prey”, which
was a tennis ball. Our winged
ambassadors are given opportunities to mimic natural behavior, including what
it would take to secure their own prey/lunch.
They do have to be taught to interact with their enrichment toys, and
the staff and volunteers are continually thinking up new materials and
activities.
