Details: The birds were rescued by marines from the 35th Separate Marine Brigade back in July. They were picked up from among fallen trees after a Russian missile attack.
At that time, the animals were small and needed much care.
"The soldiers named one of the owlets Stitch, in honour of their brother-in-arms who went by the alias of Stitch and died heroically in the war against Russian brutes," says Bieliakov.
The birds were taken to the zoo by a soldier who goes by the alias of Haharin.
The owlets were cared for in Odesa for a long time and prepared for independent living. Now they have been released into the wild.
