Eastern Screech Owls often go through a 'catastrophic molt" which means that they shed all their feathers at once. Molting helps birds like Weird Alice shed feather parasites, grow in a new 'do, and get ready for migration, if that’s what their species does. Weird Alice will look a little silly for a while, but when her feathers grow back she will be her normal beautiful self.
I’m going back here in 2 weeks, so I hope to get to see her looking extra weird!
I look forward to seeing Weird Alice again!
As always, I’ll try to get some pics, though the fencing here is the worst I’ve ever encountered in an animal enclosure as far as taking pics.
Weird Alice….
I feel like there could be a hilarious romance parody by Weird Al in there somewhere.
Live action Muppets RomCom with Weird Al as Gonzo and Weird Alice as Camilla?! I’m in!
Shut up and take my money!
I would legit watch a Muppets/Weird Al movie. This seems like a sadly overlooked market. 😁
Make it a love triangle with strange Steve.
I love Weird Alice!
I can’t keep track of many owls’ names as I just come across so many, but I always remember Alice!
