"Extremely Obese" Owl Becomes Too Fat To Fly

A chunky owl was taken in by a sanctuary in England. People at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary thought the bird was injured. It turns out that the owl was a bit overweight. The female owl was a third heavier than her average counterparts. They called her "extremely obese." She was unable to fly because she had eaten too much. After a few weeks of slimming down under observation, the sanctuary released the owl back into the wild on Monday. Have you ever had a pet become overweight? What did you do to get them back in better shape?
