Tito is in our care due to tree trimming at the wrong time of year. Barn owls are cavity nesters, so require a cavity to go into. If they can’t find one, they typically use palm trees in California. A tree trimmer was shaving the fronds off and a nest of young owls fell to the ground, Tito was the only survivor, but suffered a broken wing and leg. This made him non-releasable, and he joined the ORC team of Resident Raptors to educate about when not to trim trees!
Ojai Raptor Center receives about 100 baby barn owls from palm trees and off hay trucks, AND OUT OF BUILDINGS each year.
