Owls at the Aviary: Barred Owl & Great Horned Owl



An aviary provides captive birds more living space than a cage, and thus allows them to fly. Signs at the Bear Creek Aviary inform on-lookers that the owls have ailments or injuries that would cause them to die if released into the wild because they could no longer fend for themselves.
