Attempting to Move the Owl
“We already tried that,” a male onlooker said as the tiny owl hopped onto Sarah’s finger. She glanced at him but didn’t ask for clarification. Carefully, she began moving toward the side of the road, aiming for a nearby branch where the bird could perch. Yet the moment she tried to place it on the branch, the owl flew back—and landed, right in the middle of the road again.

Sarah was flabbergasted—what could this behavior mean? She didn’t claim to understand animals on this level; sure, she’d cared for cats, dogs, and even a parakeet, but this was far beyond her experience. She knew she’d have to call someone for help, but first, she needed to ensure that traffic could keep moving safely.
