Love Birds for Valentine's Day
I just came across an excellent gift suggestion for Valentine's Day. I was browsing the O.W.L. Orphaned Wildlife Centre website and noticed that you can adopt an orphaned owl for the year for $20. Not only that, you can adopt a couple for $30. Imagine adopting Blinkey and Casper (the Great Horned Owl's) or Flash and Curly (the Bald Eagles). Those little love birds could be shown a little love during the season of love. It's a way better gift than a dusty box of stale chocolates or a lousy Hallmark card!
O.W.L. is a volunteer based organization based out of Ladner that rehabilitates injured predatory birds in the Lower Mainland. It's a huge support to have a facility like this nearby to help protect these important bird species. Just last year alone O.W.L. picked up an eagle and two owls from the Quilchena grounds and successfully returned two of those birds back to nature. Over the years, they have nursed numerous valuable birds back to health from this course. These passionate volunteers undergo a pretty extensive education program to ensure the best health to their feathery patients. Please help support this most worthy local organization and you'll feel all warm and fuzzy for Valentine's Day!
