Ugs (Uguku – Cherokee for “Story Teller”) the Barn Owl (from San Diego Project Wildlife) was found on the ground as a hatchling in May 2004. His left wing was broken in three places, and he also had left leg and foot damage. These injuries may have been caused by a traumatic fall or could be the result of a type of brittle bone disease. Regardless, though he survived his injuries, his condition will not allow him to survive effectively in the wild. At present Ugs is currently only available for smaller, indoor programs
