The General Directorate of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity released this week an adult female owl's jujube in Umbria, in the town of Jumilla, after being cured at the Center for Wildlife Recovery Valley.
The specimen was found by a particular field in an area in Yecla, who gave notice to the local police to catch them.
The animal was stunned, very weak and dehydrated, and also showed a strong hematoma to burn in the tissues of the left wing, an unmistakable sign of electrocution.
After treatment for the past four weeks remained in a broad Voladero center to regain mobility of the affected limbs and standardize their flight.
Before proceeding to his release, the animal was marked with metal ring for easy monitoring.
The director general of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, Pablo Fernández, explained that the eagle owl is one of the most affected by electrocution on power lines in the region. "
Also explained that "in most cases a fatal outcome due to the serious injuries caused by the passage of current through your body, preventing full recovery and reintroduction into the wild."
