ROCKLEDGE, Fla. — Two great-horned owls were released Friday by the Florida Wildlife Hospital and Sanctuary Inc.
The birds spent more than a month at the sanctuary after they’d fallen from their nest.
The owls were paired with a foster great-horned owl to make sure the owls did not imprint on people, according to sanctuary officials.%
