Jaçanã was injured by glass-coated kite string, resulting in the partial amputation of one wing — the same accident that affected Jaci. Both American barn owls now live at the reserve as permanent residents.

The American barn owl (Tyto furcata) was taxonomically split from the common barn owl (Tyto alba), which the IUCN assesses as Least Concern. A separate IUCN Red List assessment specifically for Tyto furcata could not be confirmed as of this website’s publication date.
