Owl hit by foam

Friday, colleagues from Injured and Orphaned Wildlife (IOW), in Campbell, California, and International Bird Rescue (Cordelia, CA.) worked together to save the life of a screech owl that was accidentally sprayed with polyurethane foam.


Apparently, workers at a construction site began spraying insulation in the attic of a home when they saw the small raptor fall to the ground - three stories.


The bird was rescued and stabilized by IOW and transferred to IBR for emergency treatment.


While the small owl was under anesthesia, IBR medical staff carefully and meticulously chipped away at the hardened foam. Please read the full story and see the incredible pictures at IBR's blog, HERE.
