Wesley the owl : the remarkable love story of an owl and his girl

O'Brien, Stacey (Author).

Summary: On Valentine's Day 1985, biologist Stacey O'Brien fist met a four-day-old baby barn owl, a fateful encounter that would turn into an astonishing 19-year saga. With nerve damage in one wing, the owlet's ability to fly was foever compromised and he had not hope of surviving on his own in the wild. O'Brien, a young assistant in the owl laboratory at Caltech, was immediately smitten, promising to care for the helpless owlet and give him a permanent home. Wesley the Owl is a funny, poignant story of their dramatic two decades together.
