Radar

Radar the barn owl came to the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in July 2010. Three months earlier, he was born in captivity as part of a barn owl breeding and release program at Hawk Creek Wildlife Center in East Aurora, New York. He was hand-raised with the intention of release, but he became accustomed to people and imprinted onto his caretakers. Due to Radar's attachment to humans, the wildlife rehabilitation center deemed it unsafe for him to be released into the wild. Radar is now one of our education birds, used to teach programs and classes throughout the Museum.
