Oadby Care Home Residents Beat Winter Blues With Visit From Feathered Friends

Residents at RMBI Care Co. Home Devonshire Court, in Oadby, were all of a flutter this week when some friendly feathered visitors came to visit.

Elvis, a Eurasian eagle owl and Fletcher, a tawny owl, delighted residents who were only too happy to give them a stroke.

Delighted resident, Derek said: “It was a lovely visit as we got to hold and stroke these beautiful birds. They certainly put a smile on everyone’s faces!”

Home Activities Coordinator, Fiona Collins, said: “We wanted to do something new and fun for our residents to ward off the winter blues, so we invited these beautiful creatures to our Home. It was a fantastic way of bringing nature and the outdoors into the home on a cold winter’s day!”
