SINGAPORE – An injured barn owl found by a passer-by on Thursday evening in Tanah Merah Coast Road was put down after vets said it was unlikely to recover from its extensive wing fractures.
“Our wildlife vets found the owl to be in a poor condition and barely responsive, with multiple wing fractures,” said Dr Loo, in response to queries from The Straits Times. Dr Loo said barn owls, which have a distinct white, heart-shaped face, are an uncommon and adaptable species native to Singapore. They tend to nest in tree cavities or urban structures such as abandoned buildings.
