The Eurasian eagle-owl is a species of eagle-owl that resides in much of Eurasia.
With their bright orange eyes, mottled feathers, and "ear tufts," Eurasian Eagle-owls are visually striking animals.
Their large, powerful feet and strong flight make them effective hunters.
These are the four Eurasian Eagle-owls that reside at AppleCast.
Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde came to AppleCast all the way from Peterhead in Scotland on the 5th of July, 2020.
When they came to us, they were full of problems – including feather damage and eye infections. After a week of eye drops, the infections had been cured and the damaged feathers have been molted out and new healthy feathers replacing them.
There are two parents and two siblings. The birds do not like it when staff enter as they are very protective of each other, but they are very nosey and love to stare at passerby’s – spending most of their time just watching the world go by.
