From World Center for Birds of Prey
The DNA results are in and the secret is out! Nox is a BOY!! We are so excited to have Nox on our team of avian ambassadors and we cannot wait to see what he does next!
Stay tuned to learn why we took a DNA test and to get a behind the scenes look at his gender reveal party!
Owls don't have a reliable way to determine gender visually. Genetic testing, dissection 😧, or witnessing it lay an egg are the only ways to know.

wowow! it's crazy how fast they go from looking like a sad ball of fuzz to a regal posh beauty!

It still feels crazy to me that in 2 months they go from an egg to being out on their own. The parents will still coach them through the first year, but other than that, it's good luck, kid.
