Zeus, the Rescued Blind Owl with Stars in his Eyes

This beautiful little Western Screech Owl was found emaciated+blind, on someone's porch in California one morning. It's believed he had flown into the wall of a house+hit his head. It was discovered that the cause of the accident was his blindness. He was scared, but otherwise unharmed. After a trip to the vet, he was found a permanent new home at the Wildlife Learning Center in Sylmar, California, where the dedicated team of animal lovers got him back on his feet+fully recovered. Because of his blindness, he couldn't simply be released back into the wild, so he lives happily in a trunk on a filing cabinet next to the center's founder, Paul Hahn's desk.

Named "Zeus" after the Greek God of the Sky+Thunder, because of his stunning eyes, which look like a star studded night sky.
