Wait, what, #OwlAppreciationDay? Owl be there. 👍 We recently treated two family groups of endangered #BurrowingOwls at the sdzsafaripark for an infestation of a parasite commonly found in poultry called a sticktight flea. We're excited to announce that they're recovering and doing well! The little owls are part of a population being studied through a joint effort by San Diego Zoo Global and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. usfws #OwlRight #EndExtinction
