Great
Horned Owl - Gonzo
Who was bred in captivity in this country. Unfortunately
during the first few days of his life he was found to be suffering
from a deformed right leg. The outlook wasn`t good - but after
many months of intensive care he has become a celebrity in his
own right and the perfect, magnificent owl he has become today.
Merlin and Gonzo are great friends so perform a "double
act".
