Scott Bowman, of Oxford Bird Rescue, said the owl, named Hermione, was found on the ground in Ashburton in a bad condition and taken to Vetlife Ashburton.
“It appears that she had been attacked by magpies and sadly her mate was killed defending her,’’ he said.
“They gave us a call after doing the initial assessment and discovering a bit of a surprise in the x-ray, a huge egg.’’
The owl was stabilised and transferred to Vetlife Oxford where it was treated for concussion injuries.
Its head was so swollen it could not open its eyes, and for the next few days it was hand-fed and given medication and pain relief.
The swelling went down, however it became apparent the egg was stuck and it would not be laying, so it was taken back to Vetlife and the egg was removed under anaesthesia.
Bowman said the procedure was quite an ordeal but Hermione was recovering well.
“It’s going to take some time to see if the egg is still viable, but we are incubating it for her just in case.’’
But with no idea how long it had been stuck the chances of it developing were slim, he said.
We saw some friendly ghosts and even some costumed pooches this year! We'd love for you to spread the joy further than your backyard by sharing a snap from your Halloween festivities below 🎃

Unfortunately, we don't have a bike for him to ride and I don't want our mentor to have to pay for one. I was wondering if anyone had a push bike that would be suitable for a 11 year old boy lying around that they no longer use? If you do, and you would like to donate it to Big Brothers Big Sisters North Canterbury, you can rest assured knowing that it will be going to a child who will get a lot of use out of it and the enjoyment and fun they will have with their mentor will be ongoing. Thanks in advance!

Christchurch-based ElectricAir has brought the aircraft to the city to highlight zero exhaust-emission technology.
Launched at Christchurch International Airport on Friday, the plane will be used for trial flights, training and will be available for hire to qualified pilots.
The Pipistrel Alpha Electro can fly for an hour, plus half an hour reserve, which is the ideal duration for training flights.
Operators can recharge the aircraft, which will operate from both Christchurch and Rangiora, in under an hour, using a dedicated charger at Christchurch International Airport.
Along with the low-cost maintenance, the aircraft is about 70 per cent quieter than normal aircraft.
The project has been supported by a $40,000 grant from the Christchurch City Council Innovation and Sustainability Fund and a $19,000 grant from the Christchurch Agency for Energy Trust.
