Whoo, Whoo, Whoo Do I Love?

Posted to: barn owls Valentine's Day cards

Nature lovers, I’ve got a great idea for Valentine’s Day cards this year!

Send cards featuring photos of baby barn owls with their little heart-shaped faces.

“Whoo, whoo, whoo do I love?” you could ask.

The cards were made up by wildlife rehabilitator Pearl Beamer of Norfolk, who raised and released six little orphaned barn owls last fall.

Beamer’s cards of little barn owls in various settings are $5 each or four for $15 and proceeds will go toward her rehabilitation efforts. Each card is signed by Beamer.

You can order cards through majesticflyer1@cox.net or through Facebook Sacred Friend Wildlife Rehabilitation.

“Whoo, whoo, whool, I love you."
