(VO) THREE MONTHS AGO, THE CONVERSE ANIMAL SHELTER FOUND THIS BARN OWL WITH A DISLOCATED SHOULDER. SINCE THEN, THE OWL HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH REHAB AND AFTER MUCH MUSCLE MASSAGE AND MEDICAL TREATMENT, SHE'S READY TO GO. (SOT) VOLUNTEERS CARRIED THE OWL TO A GRASSY AREA AND OPENED THE BOX... SHE LOST LITTLE TIME FLYING TO A NEARBY TREE. BARN OWLS ARE ACTUALLY FAIRLY COMMON IN THE SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS AREA. THIS FEMALE IS NOW FREE TO FLY THROUGH THE SKIES AND HURT FOR HER FAVORITE FOOD...
