🐦5.23 Wildlife Tech Lab: The Owl Rescue Mission

I was working on my English final project when my lab director called. He urgently asked me to go to a complex 3 km away—he thought I was the nearest. Four owl chicks had fallen from their nest, and he was worried they’d be caged by residents or attacked by stray cats.

When I got there, I checked the chicks. Three were strong and feisty. One was a bit underweight but otherwise fine. After giving them water, I chose a safe release spot. With the parents nearby, I released the chicks in two rounds and stayed back to watch until I was sure they were stable and being fed.

It threw off my project schedule, and I only had basic tools, but they did the job. Saving an owl—does that earn me an "Owl Smartie Buff" for finals?
