This one-eyed Great Horned owl, injured when it was young, lives in an enclosure at Frozen Head and is used in ranger-led programs. It is not hard to understand why people who handle birds of prey have to wear heavy gloves! The owl's beak and talons would easily pierce the handler's skin and muscle.
Look at the large eye sockets of this owl's skull. Birds have hollow bones to make them lighter. They have the same bones as we do, they are just different length and sizes.
I like this Owl Poem, it should make us humans think!
