The quarter-pound western screech owl was found alive by a resident caught in the strands of a fake greenish-white web strung from a tree in a yard on Riviera Drive in East San Rafael
Owl In A Tangle After Getting Stuck In Artificial Spiderweb
Animal care workers are warning about the dangers of sticky Halloween decorations after an owl was found caught in an artificial spiderweb in San Rafael, California.
The western screech owl was found alive after being stuck in the strands of a fake green web for several hours.
Officer Dave Stapp of Marin Humane Society Animal Services transported the owl to WildCare, a local wildlife rehabilitation centre in San Rafael.
Director of Communications for the Marin Humane Society, Carrie Harrington said: "It could have been worse if we weren't called out but we were able to respond quickly."
The owl was reported to be dehydrated and exhausted but was otherwise in good condition.
WildCare treated the owl with intravenous fluids and released the bird three days later at the address he was found.
The homeowner and many neighbours watched the owl's release.
While the incident was unusual, there have been other instances of animals snagged by holiday decorations, said Melanie Piazza, director of animal care for WildCare.
"It's a lot more common than people realize," Piazza said. "We've had deer that have been stuck in Christmas lights."
The family who had the artificial spiderweb in their garden have since removed the fake web material.

Lucy the cross-eyed owl who was left virtually blind after an animal attack, California, America - 23 Sep 2009

Lucy the cross-eyed Western Screech Owl
Lucy the cross-eyed owl who was left virtually blind after an animal attack, California, America - 23 Sep 2009
HOO ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
She may only have limited vision but Lucy the owl's disability hasn't stopped her from finding the perfect perch in life.
The five-year-old Western Screech Owl can only see a short distance following an attack when she was just a fledgling.
The tiny bird, who stands just six inches high and weighs just over eight ounces, was discovered under her nest site in Santa Barbara, California.
Both her eyes had been punctured by a predator, possibly a small hawk or a corvid.
Unable to survive in the wild, Lucy is now an invaluable 'staff' member at the Ojai Raptor Center in California where she helps to raise other orphaned youngsters.
The small owl, who has a 12-inch wingspan, has only limited vision.
Kim Stroud, director of the Ojai Raptor Center, comments: "She can see maybe 10 or 15 feet but we don't think she can identify objects. She wouldn't survive in the wild."
However, despite her size and disability Lucy could live for a further 15 years.
Kim, 46, both founded and runs the Ojai Raptor Center, a non-profit rescue and rehabilitation centre for injured birds in Ventura County, an area of Southern California that boasts millions of acres of national parks.
And little Lucy has proven to be a valuable resource at the centre.
"She's a wonderful mother," says Kim, 46. "She lays eggs every year, infertile of course, but whenever screech owl eggs are brought in from the wild we have switched them. The same with foundling baby screeches. Lucy has raised 15 of them so far".
Despite, or maybe because of, her excellent maternal instincts the tiny predator can be fierce and protective too.
Kim comments: "She tolerates han...
