Luna

Luna is a beautiful barred owl. She is the newest member to the family. She was found with a wing injury and cannot fly. While she is good at educating people about the wonders of the natural world; she is just a little nervous around people. After all, she is new to the job.

Kentucky the Owl

This is Kentucky, a handsome horned owl. He is the star of our Facebook page. Kentucky was found with a wing injury when he was only 6 months old. Since he was placed in captivity at a young age, he did not develop the mature vocal vocabulary of an adult owl. Today, although he is now a partial amputee, Kentucky tours the area visiting classrooms and other places of educational growth to better the future.

Valentine

This is Valentine, a screech owl. Even though he is small, he is an important a member to the family. Because of his size, he eats food that is smaller than what the larger owls prefer.

He was found on Valentine's Day after being hit by a car. Due to his accident, he is blind in his right eye. He now travels to programs offered by BIOSE.
