I'm worried about the bird because it's pupils are not equal. They should accommodate- i.e. if one is exposed to light, the other should constrict to match it's partner. That could be a sign of a head injury.

It only seems that way because of how the shading is when in the box, I think. His eyes seem pretty equal in the other pics.[/quote]/paramedic on

Really? I thought you could preserve night vision by covering one eye when passing bright spots. I'll have to put sunglasses on one eye tonight and see if the pupils are the same size or not./paramedic on

When you shine a light in one pupil, the other should constrict as well- it's hard to test on yourself lol. Grab a friend though!

no worries, folks -- this can be quite a normal finding in birds. for one thing, there is 100% crossover at the optic chiasm, so no consensual PLR is expected (in most avian species). also, birds have striated muscle controlling the pupillary sphincter (and thus can voluntarily constrict their pupils - how cool is that?). that's not to say that this owl *doesn't* have an ocular/neurologic injury affecting one or both eyes, but the anisocoria is not automatically a sign of pathology (especially since the pupils look pretty even in the last picture).
tl;dr or "holy crap medical gobbledygook" version: pupil size weirdness does not necessarily equal badness.
and he does look rather miffed in that last picture -- maybe he's mad that you didn't let him drive.

Cool! Another random set of info I can store in my noggin.
The picture with the two pupils sized differently reminds me of a human cocking one eyebrow at you.

When I moved to Louisiana, this was living in the wisteria trellis over my front door. It was really unafraid of me. I got my finger within a centimeter of it, probably. I later found out that the lady down the street has an owl "habitat". They're wild and uncaged, but she gives them housing and food, and they stick around. Must've been one of those.

Also, the owl in the OP is awesome, and practically all of those pictures are captionable. I swear, if only there were more pictures of owls out there, lolowls would be as common as lolcats. So let's be happy that's not the case
Also to OP: it's great that you saved the owl
And to ZenMonkey: you liking owls is just more proof that you're swell ;-)

Ah, Secret of NIMH. I have something of a love/hate relationship with that movie.
On one hand, it's a fairly original plot with interesting characters. On the other hand, there were a lot of things in the film that seem like they were stuck in arbitrarily, simply because they were the kind of things animated moview were supposed to have. See: the useless and annoying crow Jeremy, or the irrational and pointless sword fight with the villain.
