Every wildlife patient that comes to Salthaven goes through triage, a process of examining the animal to determine injuries or ailments.

We’re currently caring for a couple of northern saw-whet owls. This little guy was found on a driveway about a week ago. We suspect he flew into a window and suffered head trauma as a result. 

Listen in as Salthaven director Brian Salt examines the owl, carefully palpating the wings to identify any fractures, feeling each bone and joint in both wings, feet and chest.

Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Centre is committed to the care and rehabilitation of sick, injured, orphaned or otherwise compromised wildlife; our goal is to return healthy animals to their natural habitat. Through education, we are dedicated to increasing public awareness about the issues affecting Canadian Wildlife.
