Arya

Barred Owl

Our mission at Humane Indiana Wildlife & Rehabilitation Center is to rehabilitate wildlife and release them back to their natural environment, once they’re healthy and are capable of surviving on their own. In some cases, however, due to injuries sustained before they were brought to us, it would not be safe to release them to fend for themselves. Fortunately for Humane Indiana Wildlife, some animals remain in our care and become wildlife ambassadors. They help us provide wildlife education through our wildlife talks in our community, throughout the state, and during our kids camps.

Arya was admitted to Humane Indiana Rehabilitation and Education Center as very young chick in 2021. After her nesting tree had fallen, the well-meaning property owner had found her and her sibling and cared for them for over a week before bringing them to the rehabilitation center. Unfortunately, during that time, Arya imprinted on humans and is now too friendly to be returned to the wild.
