The Owlet That Passed Through Three Organizations

A nearby school brought him in without warning: a fledgling búho currucutú, small and disoriented, whom Carlos received at Fundación Loros and began caring for from the very first moment. On February 27th, Angélica carried him to the Centro de Atención a la Vida Silvestre at EPA Cartagena, where Marcela — a longtime ally of the Fundación — and her technical team welcomed him with gloves and gentle hands, ready for whatever came next. What came was better than anyone had hoped. At the CAV, the currucutú — gray-brown plumage, yellow eyes carrying that gravity owls wear even in good health — already appears in video eating mouse, which is the clearest sign that the rehabilitation is moving in the right direction. In the most recent photograph, the bird rests all fluffed up on a pile of green branches inside his enclosure, like someone who knows it isn't quite time to leave yet, but who understands that the moment will come. Marcela V. sent us the report from the CAV on March 19th. The currucutú continues forward.
