It’s A Horse

Talk To The Owl
Facebook, Eric LindEric composed a goofy caption for the video and photo of the owl, saying “if your child is missing their stick horse, you’ll have to talk to the owl!”
Local Owl Family

He’s Fine
Facebook, Eric LindHe also made it clear that the owl was safe. He said, “For those of you questioning if the owl is hurt or ‘entangled’ in the stick horse… we have no reason to believe this is the case as we witnessed the owl moving the horse around and even changing its grip on it at one point… if someone sees that the owl is in danger or believes it is hurt, I’m sure the proper authorities would be contacted.”
