After decades of dedicated service, Judy's Bird Nursery in the Waikato region of NZ is closing operations. A huge thanks to Judy Fentress for her extraordinary and invaluable work helping native birds. Pictured is a Ruru in a towel by u/NewZealandDunc https://i.redd.it/4m2og4cw1i3g1.jpeg #owlsintowels 馃挍馃 馃嚦馃嚳

Close-up of a Ruru's face wrapped in a coral pink towel. His eyes are yellow, wide and bulging. The photographer's hand is reflected in one pupil. The owl's chin feathers are a little matted, possibly from his latest meal. His beak is a pale olive-grey and looks like a miniature archetype of the plague doctor, but with nostrils for eyes.

Bonus video of Judy releasing a Ruru at Sculpture Park along the Waitakaruru Stream (which incidentally means 'owl by the river') https://sculpturepark.co.nz/

Judy Fentress unwraps a towel to release a Ruru in a forest setting. The video is slowed down, and the owl beats his wings a full 5 times before leaving frame. The last half second is a close-up of Judy face, beaming a smile a she watches the owl take flight.
