Workers at the National Gallery of Art saved a barred owl recently after the bird got stuck in a sculpture at the gallery's outdoor garden.
In this Monday, Oct. 21, 2019, photo, a barred owl rests at dawn in Everglades National Park near Flamingo, Fla. **FILE**Workers at the National Gallery of Art saved a barred owl recently after the bird got stuck in a sculpture at the gallery’s outdoor garden.“This handsome #BarredOwl was rescued from the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden after his impromptu performance art piece, titled ‘HELP, I’m stuck!’ was discovered and dismantled by gallery staff,” the center wrote in their post.
The group did not specify when the owl had gotten stuck or when it had been rescued, but did note that it was in the group’s care for about a week. The bird became entangled in the brush portion of a sculpture titled “Typewriter Eraser, Scale X.” The owl needed treatment for soft tissue injuries incurred to its wing during its entrapment, the center explained in a subsequent post on X.
A volunteer with the group drove the bird to the Tri-State Bird Rescue in Delaware, where the owl continues to convalesce and regain the strength to fly regularly.
