ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Meet this beautiful barn owl, Archimedes! He was found in the sugar cane fields in Palm Beach County, abandoned with his brother. He was an extremely skinny runt and wouldn't make a sound or even eat, so his new caretaker, Manny, had to give him about three months of special care in order for him to regain his health. He's not as big as most male barn owls but he's not afraid of people. Archimedes recently became a new rehab ambassador at McCarthy’s Wildlife and now can be taken to schools or educational programs to teach people about his kind.
