Owlet fell in our front yard

Tweet

Last month an Owlet fell in our front yard from a tree.I was really amazed to see its big size as most of the Owls found in our area(i've seen only two) are of this size even when they are fully grown.It was big and yet didn't know how to fly.Our dogs started barking at it and it was really hard to control them.It couldn't fly or run fast and was sitting on the same place even when the dogs came nearer.It just spread its wing trying to scare them.Its mother(i think) was high on a tree and all the crows were trying to attack it.So I called the forest department and they sent two men immediately.They were also amazed to see it and said it was a rare species and generally not found in our area.One of them climbed the tree it was in and found that it's nest(not its own,owls are opportunistic nesters) was full of ants and that's why it must have jumped off.They put it in a cage and took it away. Now I feel a little good and a little bad as I saved the Owlet but also took it away form its mother. I've included the picture...It's really cute!
