One morning, someone in Southerly California found an hurt owl on their porch. It turned out to be a blind Western screech owl with eyes that look like a glittery night. After a visit to the vet, the blind owl found a new enduring home at the Wildlife Knowledge Center in Sylmar, California. He was named “Zeus” after the Greek deity of sky and thunder because of his spectacular, big eyes.

When the hurt Zeus was found on that front porch, the devoted team of animal lovers at the center helped him on his feet again. Since this cute owl was unreasoning, they couldn’t just release him back into the wild, so he now exists in a trunk on the filing cabinet next to Nature Learning Center creator Paul Hahn’s desk.
