Sue Sausser said she came face-to-beak with the smallish
brown-gray predator. It entered through an open door and sprung
open the pet's cage, killing one canary and injuring another
before rapidly flapping away.
The second canary was not singing, she said, "but it's chirping
and it's eating and drinking so I think it is almost over the
trauma."
Toni Ruth of the Idaho Department of Fish and Game said a
10th-floor apartment would sit high above trees where an owl
normally might roost. But she said young birds can range far
when exploring new areas or when unfamiliar with landscapes, and
that is when they fly into trouble.
