The detailed caption posted along with the pictures explains that the bird was spotted at a nearby recycling center. “When the caller sent us an image, we immediately recognized a very dirty, miserable looking Snowy Owl. We sent out a rescue volunteer to contain and transport her to our wildlife hospital. During her initial exam at WHS, we found an exhausted owl covered in diesel and an oil-based substance. The contaminants had rendered her hypothermic, she had been ingesting the oily mix in a desperate attempt to clean herself, and she was in respiratory distress. This poor bird absolutely would not survive without human intervention,” they wrote.
In the next few lines, then explained about the treatment process of the bird and how eventually she started eating on her own.
