... that veterinarian Matt Brash treated some of the owls that appeared in the first Harry Potter film after concluding they had leukocytozoonosis?

  The sources notes: "The makers of the first Harry Potter film were at their wits' end, with just days to go before the owls made their first deliveries to Hogwarts. The feathery cast of tawny, barn and eagle owls were giving a lacklustre performance at best and the specialist American crew training them at a secret location in Newcastle upon Tyne thought they looked decidedly peaky. They consulted their usual vet in Hampshire who referred them to TV vet Matt Brash, well known for his work at Flamingo Land zoo in North Yorkshire, who was called in as owl consultant. He diagnosed multiple cases of leucocytozoonosis - a parasite that attacks the white blood cells."
