Wild and Free: A screech owl named Pinkey
(World Premiere Showing)

World premiere Pinkey was a funny, orphaned screech-owl baby. He and his wilder friend, Little Bit, lived in the tender care of Clyde, a certified wildlife rehabber in the Western North Carolina mountains. While Pinkey developed a strong bond with his human “mama,” both he and Clyde honored his urge to be wild and free. A beautiful and tender story, the relationship between Pinkey and Clyde became controversial when it went beyond the sanctioned federal rehabilitation guidelines. Despite concerns, Pinkey has now lived successfully on his own for two years.
