A Rescue Owl

A Sad Story
PexelsLuna grew and became a healthy adult owl. She worked towards being a mom for two years, but her eggs didn’t end up hatching, and according to The Dodo, Luna also lost an entire batch of eggs in the previous year.
Robert Has A Surprise For Her
YouTube, Robert E FullerOne day, Robert came across two other owlets who were in need of a mother. He knew that placing them with Luna would help her to fulfill her motherly instincts and give them a chance at survival.
Luna’s Home
YouTube, Robert E FullerRobert placed the two owlets inside Luna’s nest, hoping that she would accept the babies as her own and raise them. When Luna peeked her head into her tree hole, she spotted the two babies and lunged inside to meet them.
Her New Family
