A few of the Macramé Owls got together yesterday for a special airing of ‘Elf’ to get them into the holiday spirit!

Rita’s Rescue
Variety
Brush-tailed Basketcase Macramé Owl
Admitted
31 August 2010
Initial Assessment and History
Rita was noticed sporadically over a period of almost two years, particularly around the springtime breeding season. She was quite timid and protective of what was thought to be her nest in a plant pot outside an old building in Cardiff. Over time, she appeared to grow weak. We maintained close observation, left food for her, and eventually she became more comfortable around people. Eventually, she realized she needed the support of our team, and decided to voluntarily enter the sanctuary. Her young had long since fledged. She later confessed she had been suffering from empty nest syndrome, and is now content to have found a new family among the other Macramé Owls.

Lavinia Alights
Variety
Elegansh Macramé Owl
Admitted
18 September 2009
Initial Assessment and History
The long awaited Lavinia arrived today from Minnesota, USA requiring some fluffing, but in otherwise stable condition. She is distancing herself from Lawrence, however, we hope this is just initial shyness, and that the two will pair up in due course.

Madeleine Moves In
Variety
Whimsical Macramé Owl
Admitted
17 September 2009
Initial Assessment and History
Curious onlookers have been spying on this admission more than any other. Astonishing specimen Madeleine has already caused a stir among sanctuary residents, with her “come to barn” eyes. Whispers of “your nest or mine?” have been heard, and we are vigilant that she may need protection from harassment from some of the males. She clearly possesses magical qualities, and her tassels are outstanding.

Betty Bobs Up
Variety
Plushkin Macramé Owl
Admitted
17 September 2009
Initial Assessment and History
Baby Plushkin Betty is sweet as can be. She is clinging to big brother Barney, as she appears to be feeling vulnerable. She is being closely monitored since her arrival with brother Barney from Florida.

Barney Blows In
Variety
Plushkin Macramé Owl
Admitted
17 September 2009
Initial Assessment and History
Brother and sister Plushkins Barney and Betty are currently inseparable as they rely on each other for comfort while they settle in, having travelled all the way from Florida, USA. Nervous among their elders, we’re certain they will gain confidence once they find their feet. (They arrived without feet.)

Variety
Whimsical Macramé Owl

Alfonso came to us from Brooklyn, NY, USA and his accent is unmistakable! His unique look matches his personality. He’s a very happy-go-lucky chap and has already stolen the hearts of many!

Lawrence Lands in Our Hands
Variety
Elegansh Macramé Owl
Admitted
1 August 2009
Initial Assessment and History
Lawrence arrived all the way from Spring Lake, Michigan, USA. He is the finest specimen of Macramé Owl I have ever seen. He has been extremely well taken care of, and no doubt, this has contributed to his calm and gracious demeanor. He is a natural leader among his species with his cool and charismatic confidence. What a treasure it is to make his acquaintance!

Skippy Survives the Long Journey
Variety
Macaw Macramé Owl
Admitted
31 July 2009
Initial Assessment and History
Skippy was cleared by immigration for entry into the UK on the 31st of July 2009, having arrived from Australia 2 days prior. While his journey had been highly insured, the container he was shipped in showed signs of an ordeal. I was horrified to discover that the blue and red Macaw Macramé Owl had become jaundiced, had lost its beak, and was generally tattered and worn. Skippy was immediately admitted to our ICU (intensive care unit) and we are hoping he will improve soon.

Pretty Priscilla Presents Herself
Variety
Yorkshire Puddingdale Macramé Owl
Admitted
30 July 2009
Initial Assessment and History
Priscilla, a Yorkshire Puddingdale Macramé Owl, arrived in a sound (although somewhat bloated) state following a long journey from Fairfax, Virginia, USA. She is very quiet (unlike her usual nature, which is frequent squawking), but we expect her to become more lively as she gets attuned to her new surroundings. Already, she has exhibited some cheeky and gregarious qualities. A friendly disposition, she has already been cosying up to other Macramé Owls in residence.
