BBC - Cornwall - Attractions - Nursing owls back to health
Yuri,
the Great Grey Owl is a visitor to the sanctuary
Unfortunately
not all the species can adapt to the changes we are making to the
environment and many are declining in numbers.
All
owls have forward facing fixed eyes, and they use head movements
in order to see and focus on objects.
Indra
is an inquisitive Indian Eagle Owl
This
simple structure leaves greater room within the eye socket for ocular
improvements, strengthening clarity and definition of distance vision.
The
hearing of an owl is also very acute, and in most owl species one
of the ears is positioned slightly higher than the other.
In
the meantime the Screech Owl Sanctuary continues to look after owls
from Cornwall and all over the UK.
