My Santa Adopted Riker the Eastern Screech Owl for me!

This was a Fantastic gift! When I first opened the package the card was the first thing I saw was the card on top of some protective packaging materials. Before anything else, I started with the card. Once I read "...I Adopted an Eastern Screech Owl...", I immediately dropped the card and (with haste but carefully) dug out the certificate of adoption. At this point my hands were shaking, my eyes became teared up and I couldn't stop smiling. I was so happy that I stood there for like a minute staring at the certificate.

Riker is a female Eastern Screech Owl that came from New England to the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis, with another Eastern Screech Owl, Data. Riker's wing was injured so she cannot be released into the wild. However, she is an education ambassadors and travels on programs that teach people about owls.

The Adoption provides food, shelter and care fore Riker. In the card, my Santa stated my adoption status never expires and I am able to visit Riker if I ever go to St. Louis, and I can guarantee that I will Visit her!

I recently started wood working as a hobby and I will make a frame for the certificate, card, penny and feathers in the future! The Starship Enterprise Schematic looks super cool and I will set it to glow blue and incorporate it with my PC (which also glows blue). The Horned owl plush will be displayed on my shelf close to the frame I plan to make.

I am so happy with this gift! I plan to share this gift with my family, maybe I can get some of them to participate in next years Secret Santa!
