I call this one "Tip Over Screech", because this little guy was so shocked to be outside compared to indoors in his cage, all he would do is cling tightly to his tether and tip over sideways... Not wanting to stress the little guy any further I mentioned to the handler that the photo shoot was over for this little one. Immediately upon picking this little owl up, the owl felt more secure and in a familiar place and stood quite nicely on the handlers gloved fist. **Note the damaged area in the owls eye which hinders depth perception and therefore prevents this little one from being released to the wild.
