The Alhambra Court Hotel is a short walk from York’s Museum
Gardens. We might have stayed there if we didn’t live half an hour away. It’s a
quaint family-run, family-friendly affair, and they provide a full English
breakfast: fried eggs, fried toast, sausage, bacon, the works. All that frying
means their kitchen uses an extractor fan. The hotel’s owner noticed odd noises
coming from the fan last week. The noises turned out to be a very unhappy
trapped owl. RSPCA were called, and the owl was extracted from the extractor
fan. "The fan was sticky and covered in grease which made it harder for
the bird to free herself," said the owl’s rescuer. The bird was taken to Ryedale
Rehab and given a Green Fairy (dish soap) bath. “She wasn’t impressed by the
bath, but she looks and feels much better.” She’ll stay at Ryedale until a vet
clears her to be released. Hopefully the fan’s been thoroughly cleaned, too.
