Alice the Great Horned Owl - 11/14 am

Talk about heartwarming. :girlluv:

This morning I was reviewing video of Iris from last night. I got to a part where Iris hooted a couple of times. I had the audio up high, and
Rusty IMMEDIATELY hooted back from his dog kennel in the kitchen. Totally sweet.

Rusty is back in the flight pen door will open Mon night around 0 pm. between flight and breeding pens.
Iris knows he is there and she is all perked up now they are talking to each other threw the door. So sweet to watch her she is so happy her honey is home again.

Rusty & Iris

Great video of their reunion here:

Iris definitely missed Rusty when he had his eye surgery and was recovering in a dog carrier for nearly a week. Rusty still heard Iris over the monitoring system, and he always hooted back immediately whenever he heard her. He also hooted back when he heard Alice, which certainly startled Alice to hear Rusty IN her house!

In Rusty's absence Iris had to deal with Rhett and Delilah's nightly intrusions. Besides hooting on and around their aviaries, Rhett and Delilah figured out how to get INTO the open flight pen. The door had been left open so the owlets could return to mooch food if needed, but they didn't.

It seemed a long wait to get through Rusty's medication dosing so he could go back with Iris. I was only too happy to close the outside door to the flight pen to prevent the wild owls from coming in and to put Rusty back out there. He was disoriented at first, probably from a combination of being in a dog carrier for almost a week and from the effects of missing his right eye. Their eyes are huge, so missing that much weight on one side of his head could easily affect things.

Rusty didn't fly much once he got up onto a perch, but he did hoot some, as did Iris.

It wasn't until the next night, after Rusty had eaten his last pill-laden food, that I could open the door between the pens so Rusty and Iris could be together again. And what a happy occasion it was!!
