Woman 'adopts' owl
Trinadad & Tobago
What appears to be a lost pet owl has been adopted by a Mt Lambert woman's pet parrot.
The woman, who is now looking for the bird's owner, told the Express yesterday that the pair have been 'liming' together since she took the owl in.
The nocturnal bird-of-prey showed up in a neighbour's yard on Tuesday night. It was disoriented and defensive but refused to leave.
"My neighbour asked for help. I eventually took my parrot out of her cage and managed to get the owl into it. I got the impression that it might have been someone's pet," the owl's 'foster mother', Rachel, said.
The bird hasn't lacked for a fellow feathered friend, since the woman's parrot, Caura, has stayed on top of the cage since.
Rachel is eager to reunite the bird with its owner.
