From World Bird Sanctuary
Some birds are very cooperative for their annual exams. Uxmal, the spectacled owl, has most of her exam done voluntarily. Certain parts of the exam still require restraint for the safety of the bird and staff, such as blood draws, but we can mitigate a lot of stress by having the bird willingly participate in their exams. Husbandry training can be important in getting voluntary weights, feet and body checks, nail trims, and delivery of medications.
Was thinking about the exact same thing.
When your eyes are one of your largest features, you’re going to be doing a lot of inspecting! 👀
Inspecting and a bit of judging. The owl has that look that says “what is this land dweller mammal trying to do?” on.
These bald monkeys are always so handsy! They simply have no manners!
That to. And it’s true.
