Owl Project. St Andrew’s School for Girls recently welcomed a new member to the family for a few weeks. A Spotted Eagle Owl, The school will to help rehabilitate and release the bird. St Andrew’s thank the Owl Project, for entrusting them with her. They also thank them for all they do in educating communities about the importance of owls in our environment.
Owls are the best solutions in combating rodent problems, and as an EcoSchool, St Andrew’s School urge our community to not use rodenticides. Not only do the poisons cause very painful deaths for rodents, but the owls are affected by secondary poisoning when they eat the poisoned rodents.
The school thank the sponsors who make it possible for The Owl Project to do the work they do: International Owl Centre, SPCA, Sage Foundation, Woodoc, Johannesburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital, and Hatch.
