Stolen barn owl found

A white barn owl stolen from a Perth Hills home on Tuesday has been found.

Jennifer was spotted Thursday night in the Perth Hills area, and a team of locals including her carer Shaina Smith caught her on Friday morning.

"It would appear that the thieves got scared from all the media attention and let her go or she managed to escape," Ms Smith wrote on the Swan Veterinary Hospital Facebook page.

The owl is licensed with the Department of Parks and Wildlife, currently being trained to be a display and educational bird.
