It takes a village…

It seems like that might describe the goings on at the rookery.  Do each of the egret or stork parents tend only to their own offspring?  When they are in such close quarters I mean?  I’ve heard that the owlet that had to be removed from the nest at Philippe Park has been brought back to the nest twice, only to fly to the ground immediately.  And the parents haven’t been seen in the vicinity for a while now.  So they are trying to locate another set of owl parents in hopes that she will be accepted.  Assuming that they have seen this done successfully before then I have to wonder if it happens in nature.  I have no answers for this, just questions…
