The President of the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan says it was raining owls over the weekend in Saskatoon’s northeast.
On 3 separate occasions, the wildlife rescue organization received calls about baby great horned owls falling out of their nest.
Bonnie Dell explains the nest broke because of heavy snow.
The first 2 calls were on Saturday and third on Sunday.
In each case the owls were put back up in the tree.
The third owl need a bit of extra help though because it was smaller, so the rescuers made a nest in a cardboard box and strapped it to the tree.
Dell says the whole time they were there, many neighbours and kids came out to watch, as did the owl parents who were circling up above.

Owls that are old enough to leave the nest and balance on tree branches are called branchers, although Dell calls these 3 owls ‘teenagers’ because they can’t be contained.
The WRSOS is getting lots of calls about them being found on front steps and in back gardens.
She expects that will be the case for the next week or so as the young owls learn to fly.
