Eagle Owl Astray: Seven Days in a Bauhaus Hall – Then the Return to the Night

Answer

What happened when an eagle owl wandered into a Mallorca DIY store in Marratxí?

The eagle owl stayed for about a week inside a large sales and storage hall in Marratxí. COFIB technicians observed calmly, avoided rushed captures, and created a quiet environment by turning off lights and slowing forklift traffic. When the bird moved to lower areas, the rescuers captured it gently and provided a short treatment. That evening the owl was released back into suitable habitat with fields and cork oaks.
