AUSTIN (KXAN) – A Mother’s Day celebration is happening today at the Austin Wildlife Rescue as the organization announced Athena’s surviving owlet has a new guardian.
The rescue announced on Sunday, Mother’s Day no less, that the owlet has been placed in the care of Eddison, a great horned owl who lives at the center.
According to the announcement, the owlet was introduced to Eddison over the weekend. The adult owl immediately accepted the owlet into her care and is now protective of it.
“Eddison immediately welcomed the owlet into her nest box, snuggling close and keeping a watchful eye on her new baby,” the rescue said in a social media post. “Eddison is taking her new role VERY seriously.”…
