A great horned owl in California found itself tied up on Monday when the tip of its wing became tangled in a kite string, leaving the bird dangling from a tree. “The poor owl was hanging by her wing, suspended between two trees,” a Peninsula Humane Society spokeswoman told the paper. The uninjured owl was released back into the wild at the scene, and seemed to “grumpily fly off,” the spokeswoman said. The remaining kite string was removed to prevent other birds from becoming ensnared. "We just really encourage people to take care and if you have fishing string, or even something seemingly innocuous as kite string, cut it down because it can definitely harm wildlife," she told SFGate.
