The older owl is about six weeks old and is lucky to be alive, having ingested part of a rubber band. He was brought in to RSPCA Mallydams Wildlife Centre in Hastings, East Sussex after he was found by himself without a nest nearby. Staff at the centre realised he had eaten a rubber band when he regurgitated it in one of the pellets owls produce as part of their digestive process.
