The owl was brought to the wildlife hospital, Pelican Harbour Seabird Station (PHSS), after suffering multiple injuries. The patient experienced trauma on both sides of the body with limited use of one leg.<\/p>\n

According to PHSS, traditional rehabilitation methods were producing limited results, so the hospital brought in a wildlife acupuncture specialist. The specialist decided to incorporate a routine acupuncture sessions to the owl’s care plan.<\/p>\n

After weeks had gone by, the barn owl began to show signs of improvement, specifically in its strength and mobility. On June 17, PHSS released the bird back into the wild after it made a full recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis owl\u2019s journey is a testament to the creativity, perseverance, and compassion of our staff – and to the
incredible resilience of the wildlife we serve,” said Sarah Lyon, Communication & Advancement Coordinator at PHSS.<\/p>\n

The release of the barn owl also marked a historic milestone for the wildlife hospital. The bird became PHSS’s 49,000th patient to fly into its doors since their founding in 1980. According to the clinic, patient intake is up by 27% compared to the same time last year, and they are expected to treat a total of 3,000 patients in 2026.<\/p>\n
