Chainsaw Eastern Screech Owl
The Birds > Meet the Family > Chainsaw
Chainsaw arrived as a nestling on May 31, 1996. The hollow tree in which his family’s nest was located had been cut down with a chainsaw. Several of the other owlets in the nest cavity were killed, and the tip of Chainsaw’s left wing was cut off, leaving him permanently unable to fly. One other owlet from the nest cavity survived; she was raised at The Raptor Trust and released a few months later. Chainsaw is currently used for educational purposes.
