One more last look at spring babies...

This video shows our very last babies of the season, European barn owls, being socialized for education programs. The education birds you meet at the World Bird Sanctuary (and other education programs) are acclimated to humans from an early age. Here you have a behind the scenes look at socialization in action. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!

I am a HawkQuest volunteer in Colorado and we have one of the barn owls born, raised and acclimated by the WBS for education. She is awesome and is so well socialized that she is one of the main birds we use to train new volunteers, and she is always a hit at every event she does. Thank you for doing the job you do!
