Florida Wildlife Hospital's other educational ambassadors


I thought I would introduce you to my friends and fellow educational ambassadors. Eleanor is a barred owl, and has been doing educational events for over 7 years. She had a broken wing that healed improperly in the wild before she was found and taken to a wildlife rehabilitator.








Kona is also a barred owl, and came to the hospital when she was very young. She was found with a fishing hook in her wing, and monofilament fishing line wrapped around her wing. This caused nerve and tendon damage, and she was never able to fly.








Owliver is a great horned owl, and he is just about 1 year old. He was found with a wing injury that prevented him from flying. He had such a good temperament that the staff at Florida Wildlife Hospital added him to our educational team.
The four of us do educational programs for civic groups, scouts, and schools. We also appear at environmental events and at Florida Wildlife Hospital's special events. We hope that you may be able to attend an event soon so we can meet you!
