lebe03 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Earlier this afternoon Polee was in the garden when I heard her barking which is an unusual occurrence. When I looked outside I saw she was barking at Magpies that were hovering over what turned out to be a juvenile Tawny Owl that appears to have injured it's wing. She didn't touch the owl but did scare off the Magpies that were trying to attack the Owl. The Owl appears to have an injured wing and I'll shortly be taking it to the 24 hour Vets in Bury so they can check it over. Once treated it will be taken to Green Mount Bird Sanctuary to recover fully before being released in this area if possible. So proud of my baby girl for not attacking the injured owl and protecting it from the Magpies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that goes against most husky instinct, too, I know Mysh would have been right in there (think D would have been too frightened of it!!) Well done, Polee!!

loops Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 awww bless that is such an ace story... dont know what the bird (aka dog!) would have done. last fri morning she cornered a young crested grebe, she was just looking (cos i was shouting "leave!") but eventually she got thredders with it growling and trying to peck her she picked it up and gave it a quick shake.she dropped it when i told her to and it seemed alive and well albeit a bit shook up when we left it but i found it dead a few days later further down stream, in a way i wish she'd killed it out right cos i no idea how long it suffered:(... good girl polee not a bird murderer! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutsibe Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Awwww, what a good girl! If you get further chances to get pictures of the owl (particularly if you can be present when they release it, if they can) can you try to get some more pics? Owls are cool!

mydiamond Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 aaww that's too cute ^0^ how sweet, I think she knows the owl needs her help I once found a little birdie on my morning walk with Dime and I'm also sooooo proud that Dime didn't try to bite the poor thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get further chances to get pictures of the owl (particularly if you can be present when they release it, if they can) can you try to get some more pics? Owls are cool! I'm going to ring the vets later today to see if they can tell me how the Owl is doing. Polee woke me at 5.30 am today as she'd heard another owl which sounded like it maybe the parent calling for the youngster. I hope the little one recovers enough to be released back here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK_naya Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Wow, that's awesome! Naya was running around the other day and chased a wandering chicken down! She had her paws on it and her mouth around it's throat when I got to her! Had to pull her off, but the chicken seemed fine except for a few missing feathers.
