When you’re getting ready for work, you might think that your day will be the same as it always is, with nothing out of the ordinary happening, but then you come across something unusual.
Trevor Hayes, a service plumber, spends his workday visiting customers and assisting them in any way he can. However, one of his workdays took an unexpected turn.
When he was on his way to a customer’s house to fix some plumbing, he noticed a feathery brown ball near a garage door two houses down.
When Hayes got a closer look, he was taken aback.
Strange Discovery
At first, he didn’t really know what he was looking at, but when the feathery ball turned around and looked at him, he knew that his help was needed there, too.
“It was just staring at me and didn’t look like it was doing good,” Hayes told The Dodo.
It didn’t take too long for Hayes to realize what he was looking at.
“I knew it was an owl right away. I’m pretty familiar with the wildlife around here, but it was odd seeing the owl in broad daylight, especially in front of someone’s garage on the ground,” Hayes said.
Thinking the owl was simply lost and confused, he decided to give it some time to recover before returning to his duties. However, when he finished, he returned and was heartbroken to discover that the owl was still there.
“I figured I should probably do something, so I knocked on the homeowner’s door but didn’t receive an answer,” Hayes said.
Rescue Mission
Knowing that an expert would be best suited to the situation, he contacted RAPTOR Inc., a bird rehabilitation center in Milford, Ohio. The incredible staff provided Hayes with detailed instructions on how to safely capture the poor bird.
Hayes went to get a box, thick gloves, and a drop cloth before returning determined to help. Soon, the adorable bird was settled into the box with Hayes and on his way to RAPTOR Inc.
The staff met the duo with open hands and provided the owl with the best care, ever, making sure that it had everything it needed to recover in no time.
“They said the owl is doing great,” Hayes stated.
According to Hayes, the beautiful owl was later moved to a larger enclosure at the Milford rescue and is expected to be released back into nature shortly.
Everyone is ecstatic for this incredible guy to be back in the starry sky, living his best life again.
