A wild and nocturnal visitor. Last night we spotted this porcupine here at the property.
Some interesting facts about them are: It is a rodent, they might have up 30.000 quills 😰, the only part of their body where they don’t have quills is on their stomach.

Did you check these four pictures? 💞

We never show people holding or touching animals as this is not permitted here (this is not a correct practice) and should not be permitted anywhere you see wildlife. 🐾

We know the impact a photo like this can have when a person is shown holding them. This might get you twice and more times likes or followers… but as professionals we know this is not the way. At the end many people can only see themselves replacing that person because they want to hold the animals aswell. This is one of the reasons why you still find business based on exhibition of animals where you are allow to touch them, hold them or take photos right next to them, so this kind of business pay others to steal animals and use them for such shows, these animals are mistreated in many different ways.

No matter how hardworker a person can look, if they show themselves touching animals they are giving a wrong impression. One thing is to be documented (on a photo or video) helping rescue an animal and another thing is a photo where you cuddle, play or touch animals and then share a message about them. This second situation just invites indirectly others to do the same. ☹️

We must be very careful regarding what we support or share. 🧐

Wild animals and people should not appear together in photos. It can happen that you can rescue an animal and you want to show that good action, but if you do not share this photo with a proper description you are confusing people.

Lots of influencers are posing with animals (they say they care for); we must tell them there is a better way to help those and thousand more animals.

We are growing! No matter how hard times are lately, our rescue center keeps working on innovation, doing its best to improve for the welfare of those many animals we cared for, and the others recently coming or coming later. 🐒🦉🐆🦜🐫🦡

This 2020 we started another crucial project: to make our quarantine area much bigger and set the best possible standards for the animals’ requirements. We know there are a lot of other things and equipment to get; however, we keep going forward👷‍♂️

One found unable to fly, three found in an unsafe area

This week we received two species of owls and we will be caring for them until they are ready to be free again.

Three baby barn owls (Tyto alba) reported in a property where they could become an easy pray for domestic animals, so they were brought here by collaborators of Sistema Nacional de Áreas de Conservación (SINAC)

Yesterday we received a crested owl (Lophostrix cristata) found nearby the new street in Florencia, San Carlos. Apparently unable to fly (possibly hit by a car, they reported).

Next week we are doing some tests to see if we can release this crested owl. We will be caring for all it’s needs until then and hopefully will be free again.

The baby barn owls will have to stay longer, but we hopefully see them go away as soon as they are ready. We have succesfully done this before in other occasions.

Esta semana recibimos dos especies de búhos/lechuzas y los cuidaremos hasta que estén listos para ser liberados nuevamente.

Tres lechuzas de campanario (Tyto alba) bebés fueron encontradas en una propiedad donde podían ser fácilmente presas de los animales domésticos, por lo que fueron traídas aquí por colaboradores del Sistema Nacional de Áreas de Conservación (SINAC)
Ayer además recibimos un búho penachudo (Lophostrix cristata) traído por el también colaborador del SINAC Victor Solís, y encontrado cerca de la nueva calle en Florencia, San Carlos. Aparentemente no puede volar (posiblemente fue atropellado por un automóvil, informaron). La próxima semana haremos algunas pruebas para ver si podemos liberar este búho. Nos ocuparemos de todo lo que necesite hasta entonces y, con suerte, será libre nuevamente.
Las lechuzas bebé deberán permanecer más tiempo, pero esperamos verlas desaparecer tan pronto como estén listas. Lo hemos hecho con éxito antes en otras ocasiones.
