Too Tame to fly

This is Bob – an owl spoiled by someone who found him at the bottom of a tree – now he can’t return to the wild as he has no fear of humans or dogs.

    Such a beautiful image of this little guy!! It’s so sad, people think they are doing them a kindness. When wild animals become habituated to people they can no longer defend themselves in the wild….

    Wow! What a wonderful shot. Sad though that it can’t live it’s destined life in the wild. Appears to be very well taken care of though and that is a good thing.
