AWARE and WorkShopCreations.com
AWARE (Atlanta Wildlife Animal Rescue Effort) is proud to announce our partnership with local Norcross
craftsmen Robert May and Lee Baker (WorkShopCreations.com), to launch a new fund-raising program to
Atlanta and surrounding communities. Habitats for HOOTIES are beautiful natural wood houses for owls. The
sale of these houses will support the rehabilitation efforts for injured wildlife at the AWARE center and their
use will provide our wonderful nocturnal raptors with more nesting opportunities. Handmade in Georgia, these
boxes are made of high quality western cedar and are designed according to Audubon specifi cations.
Consider supporting AWARE by giving a special gift to someone that benefi ts the receiver as well as the feathered
residents. The proceeds of your purchase goes directly to help wildlife at AWARE. Or, if you choose to order
from WorkShopCreations.com, please mention AWARE in the comments section of your order and we will
receive a 15% donation from your total purchase!DID YOU KNOW?

They are nature’s way of keeping the rodent population “in check”.
6 Owls use their extraordinary vision & excellent hearing to locate their prey. They are one of the
few birds that have binocular vision - i.e. they cannot move their eyes so they rotate their heads
instead. They also have windshield wiper eyelids to help keep their eyes clean!
6 Owls have amazing fl exibility in their necks - they have almost full circle rotation - with 14 neck
bones as opposed to humans’ 7.

Horned Owls are the only known natural predators and most deaths are likely to be related to
