Woman Sees Bright Yellow Eyes Peering Out Of Home’s Wreckage – The Dodo
As fires continue to devastate Los Angeles, countless people and animals have been injured and left without homes. But among all the destruction, there have been glimmers of hope.Joanne, a resident of Altadena, California, tragically lost her family’s home to the fire. When she and her girlfriend, Lauren, returned to her neighborhood, the devastation was difficult to fathom. It seemed nothing had survived. Well, almost nothing.Surveying the rubble, a tiny face with huge, round eyes came into view — an owl. At first, Lauren and Joanne were baffled. Why would an owl be sitting in a burned-down home?Then, they realized he couldn’t fly away.“He needs help,” Lauren said in a TikTok. “He’s injured.”Upon closer inspection, they realized that his wings had gotten burned.“You have golf ball size embers flying at, like, probably 90 miles per hour,” Lauren told The Dodo. “And I’m sure it got caught on his wing and just singed the heck out of it.”Despite everything they were going through, Lauren and Joanne took it upon themselves to rescue the owl. As soon as they took him in their arms, he relaxed.“After we caught him, he’s like, ‘You know what? I think they’re here to help me and I’m just going to lay here and just be,’” Lauren said.Thankfully, the owl’s injuries weren’t too severe — the only parts of him that were singed were his feathers. Lauren and Joanne transported him to a local wildlife rescue, where he’ll recover until he’s well enough to return to the wild.“He’s doing very well,” Lauren said.In no time at all, the smoke will clear, the owl’s feathers will grow back and he’ll fly again.
