GiGi, the owl, is about to meet the man who is called the “birds of prey whisperer.” This story actually took place back in June 2016. His real name is Douglas Pojeky. GiGi is a great horned owl that ended up at Mississippi’s Wild at Heart Rescue after being hit by a car GiGi had a concussion.
She also had parasites and aspergillosis (similar to pneumonia). Missy Dubuisson, the director and founder of Wild at Heart said that GiGi was the most critically injured patient they had ever cared for at the rescue.
To no one’s surprise, GiGi and Pojeky developed a unique bond while GiGi was in their care. GiGi approaches Pojeky and bobs her head and dances a little on his arm. She even walked all the way up to his chest and gave him what looks like a hug!
