Erwda's Abu Dhabi Falcon Hospital helped both birds recover fully and is now confident that they can continue on to live a strong and healthy life. The UAE's breeding population is estimated to be around 25-50 pairs and Eagle Owls are listed as a priority species for conservation.
The birds were admitted to the hospital almost a year ago. They were very weak and dehydrated with one Owl having been wounded in the right wing and sustaining serious damage. The birds were immediately prepared to undergo intensive treatment to repair the damaged wing which has now healed perfectly. The second Owl had suffered from massive salmonellosis and severe diarrhoea. Both Owls received treatment for the diarrhoea and dehydration and were given special vitamins and minerals. The birds were then tagged to monitor the progress of their health and released back into the wild.
The Eagle Owl is not globally threatened and is listed under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (CITES). However, the long-term conservation of the Eagle owl in the UAE depends on the continued availability of suitable habitats for feeding and breeding.
The Eagle owl may live up to 50-60 years in captivity. However, in the wild, they live for about 20 years. They have no real natural enemies but collision with power lines and fences and in some cases shooting may be a problem.
