People at the Suffolk Owl Sanctuary thought the bird was injured. It turns out that the owl was a bit overweight.

The female owl was a third heavier than her average counterparts. They called her “extremely obese.” She was unable to fly because she had eaten too much.

After a few weeks of slimming down under observation, the sanctuary released the owl back into the wild on Monday.
