A baby owl was rescued after it fell from a tree in Lasam, authorities said.

Resident Rheiza Unipa said she heard repeated banging sounds on a sheet of metal near their door. When she went to check, she found the young owl on the ground.

Unipa picked up the bird and placed it temporarily inside a cage to keep it safe.

She then reported the situation to a wildlife volunteer before the owl was turned over to the Community Environment and Natural Resources Office for proper care.
