Summary
This is a true story about a great horned owl named Jackson who chose his adopted human family over his natural instincts to live in the wild. Jackson was born in the wild with owl parents that cared for him and his owl siblings in a nest high in the branches of a giant tree. One day, a young boy climbed the tree and captured Jackson in a burlap bag and took him home. The boy soon realized that caring for a wild animal was a lot of work and that owls wre not intended to be pets. Gijsbert (Nick) , a kind man with a special license to care for owls, was contacted and took Jackson home to his family where they cared for him until he was old enough and strong enough to be set free.
