Injured ruru ready to fly the nest
A baby ruru found with wounds on his feet and a fractured wing tip has been released back into the wild after some TLC from Wellington Zoo’s veterinary team.
The little manu first came into the care of The Nest Te Kōhanga, the Zoo’s animal hospital, on Boxing Day when he was found on the ground in Eastbourne.
Team Leader at The Nest Te Kōhanga, Shanna Rose, says the vet team was able to treat the owl’s injuries and provide supportive care, which he responded well to.
