Western Screech Owl - Megascops kennicottii
Hopping out of the beat up red vehicle, Sarah went to pull her hair back into a ponytail as she made her way to the trunk -having to kick it slightly to get it to pop open- and rummaging around for her thick leather gloves and one of the extra transport boxes.
Pulling them on and making her way around to the side, she paused at the window when the little Screech with one eye popped his head out of his box to hoot softly at her.
"Just hold on; you'll get your breakfast just as soon as I get this guy and we can get back on the road." She grumbled. And with that she was making her way over to the speckled bird who was growing more frantic by the moment. Up close she could see where one wing refused to expand fully; and wondered what had happened to cause such an injury.
The animal finally noticed her when she knelt about five feet away to expand the cardboard box into it's proper shape, and is first reaction was to hiss and snap its beak at her, drawing back to try and escape but unable to get very far.
"Shh, Calm down big guy, I'm going to get you fixed up, okay? You'll be flying again soon, I promise."
Note: -Waves- Ello Ello everyone! I know we're starting out a bit slow, but no worries; There'll be plenty of cuteness coming soon.
