The Wonder Tree author Teresa Heapy meets Screech Owl Wildlife Park

We can think of no better way to have a HOOT then a chat about all things owls in the presence of an actual owl. That’s exactly what Teresa Heapy got to do when she spoke to Karen, Paula and Honey the Tawny owl from Screech Owl Wildlife Park.

They talked about the inspiration for Teresa’s book The Wonder Tree, illustrated by Izzy Burton, as well as all the amazing work being done at the wildlife park. Aside from owls, it’s home to alpacas, meerkats, raccoons, emus, goats, ponies and many other animals. They even run a hospital so they can take of injured owls!

Watch the full video of their meeting below, which includes Teresa showing off some of the beautiful illustrations in The Wonder Tree picture book. You’ll even get some insights into how Screech Owl Wildlife Park names their owls!
