THREE ORPHANED OWLETS RESCUED<br />WITH VID<br />BY JAIANSH SHARMA<br />Check out this emotional wildlife rescue as three orphaned great-horned owl chicks are safely saved after losing their mother in a tragic accident.<br />Sarah Hollers, from Lubbock, Texas, captured the urgent rescue carried out by the South Plains Wildlife Rehabilitation Center.<br />The video shows rescuers using a bucket truck provided by local landowners to carefully reach the nest after the owlets’ mother was hit by a car and did not survive.<br />The nest, built high up on a barn wall above a hanging outdoor lamp, left the young owls stranded with nobody to care for them.<br />While landowners initially believed there were only two owlets in the nest, rescuers discovered a third, smaller chick during the operation.<br />The footage captures the careful moment each feathered owlet is gently transferred into the bucket before being safely brought down to the ground.<br />Now under specialized care, the growing owlets are being safely housed and fed while rehabilitation staff prepare them for eventual release back into the wild once they are fully independent.<br />Sarah said: “The video shows the careful, urgent work our nonprofit wildlife center does to save orphaned animals.”<br />Viewers praised the rescue effort in the comments.<br />One wrote: “Can’t imagine how many baby birds don’t get saved after their parents are taken away by an accident.”<br />Another added: “Great rescue story. Love their hisses and clicks, signs of energy and heart.”<br />ENDS
