Kaiden Perrett, 7, presented a donation of $1,012 to Rob Hope from the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society while holding Sarah, a barn owl, Sunday. Perrett, who lives on the Sunshine Coast, became interested in OWL after a visit to the Delta facility. He adopted an owl while there and has been receiving the centre’s newsletters. Upon reading about the need that OWL had for new space, he decided to help fundraise, holding a pair of lemonade stands this summer.
Also, Thatcher Turriff-Pike, 10, had the privilege of having Sarah (the barn owl) perch on his arm for donating $65 to OWL, which was in lieu of gifts for his birthday.
Thatcher was also given a certificate of appreciation and enjoyed the up-close experience with one of OWL’s birds of prey.
