Owls in Towels (owlsintowels@mas.to)'s status on Monday, 08-Jun-2026 23:03:03 JST Owls in Towels

A Barred Owl was wrapped in a towel for a final round of roundworm meds, and was self-feeding which is always a great sign of progress, at Congress of the Birds, Rhode Island.

1. A towel-wrapped Barred Owl is held by a rehabber wearing a pair of semi-transparent gloves. At least, I hope they're gloves or this person has no fingernails. The owl's feathers are an ashy mix of brown and white, eyes are black, and beak is yellow the tone of aged cheddar. The towel is patterned in broad stripes of white and brick-red. Though it should be noted, the redness of the brick usually depends on the clay whence it was fired, so for the sake of geographical agnosticism, let's call it a shade between persimmon and vermilion. Persimilion perhaps?

  Congress of the Birds on Instagram: "In a world that often feels like it’s in a constant state of crisis (and let’s be honest, it is), how about a little healing imagery to brighten your day? 🦉✨ Meet some of our ‘owls in towels’! You might be wondering: why do we swaddle them like little owl burritos? The answer is simple—it’s to weigh them, medicate them, and ensure they get the nutrition they need! When owls are debilitated, they’re often too weak to feed themselves. That’s where we step in, providing supportive care with meds, fluids, and hand-feeding until they regain their strength. The first owl in this post is one of our current patients who just got their final dose of antiparisitic medication (after battling a nasty roundworm infestation!) and—drumroll, please—self-fed for the first time today! 🎉 Big gains! #owls #owlsofinstagram #owlsintowels #owlburrito #superbowl #superbowlsunday #barredowl #strixvaria #northernsawwhetowl #cuteowl #wildliferehab #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferehabber #wildlifeofinstagram #conservation #savetheplanet #congressofthebirds #birdrehabilitation #wildlife #birds #bird"
