They say that the eyes are windows to the soul. And in Zeus’s case, that soul reflects the very universe we live in — the wondrous starry heavens that shine on every clear night.
Zeus is a very special owl. He is blind in both eyes, which was the reason he was found injured on a porch in South California. A local vet referred him to the Wildlife Learning Center Sylmar, California, where his new family named the Western Screech Owl Zeus, after the Greek god of sky and thunder.
Because he is blind, Zeus can’t be released back into the wild. But he is thriving at the center as a result of the care and attention he is receiving from a team of dedicated animal lovers.
Poor Owl but this is pretty cool.
