Get to know Spike! ?? Spike recently soared to Instagram fame, so we asked his bestie (and raptor care specialist), Ell, to introduce him to his new fans!
"Spike is a 3 or 4-year-old eastern screech owl…" -
02
"He came to live with us after he was found trapped inside of a train car. We don't know how long he was in there. He flew in and the door got closed behind him, but he missed out on a lot of meals and we think the temperature got crazy in there.
So, unfortunately, Spike has suffered some pretty significant brain damage"

"See—he's just not all there"
-
04
"He doesn't have that typical 'wild awareness' that a normal screech owl should have"
-
05
"He wouldn't have lived very long so instead he lives here with us at Fontenelle Forest."
-
06
"He shares his home with his roommate George, an older eastern screech owl who's taken him under his wing."
-
07
"Spike is a fantastic educational raptor ambassador, and he does a great job getting on the glove for us—going to schools and nursing homes. And we hope to have him for many more years!"
