THIS LAND IS MY LAND, THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND...
From California, to the new preserve, where hopefully, many owls will come... and promulgate across the land! (AHEM. Back on task.)
Santoris is on the move. They've already hired a man to poke around the land for the shopping center. That means we don't have a lot of time! We've got to create an attractive habitat for owls quickly, or else the burrowing owls will get sealed in - or out - of their burrows after construction begins!
Hmmm. How should we go about making an attractive home for burrowing owls?
Well, let's see. Owls need shelter, food, and an ideal ecosystem. This can be provided by....
A) Vons. Owls like Caesar salad too, right? And they've feel right at home in the shopping carts...
B) Ground squirrels. They'll be the perfect ecosystem engineers. Since western burrowing owls don't make their own burrows, instead relying on ground squirrels, ground squirrels will be able to dig holes in the newly-bought tract of land. They also live in the same ecosystem (there are certainly plenty of them in San Diego!), so by moving them in the reserve, they'll attract suitable flora and fauna.
C) Porcupines. They're about the same size as owls, too, so they would be great companions.
D) Hamsters. Hamsters make burrows, and thus would be great environmental engineers. You would be able to pay lots of hamsters at a cheap price at local pet stores, since they are a common pet.
