Lonely Fans: Sponsor Socrates
Meet Socrates the Barn Own
Wise. Regal. Surprisingly Funny.
Status: Deep thinker. Occasional show-off.
Likes: Moonlight flights, deep conversations, and rats (don't judge).
Dislikes: Stereotypes, bad lighting, and people who whisper around him (he hears everything).
About me: Greetings. I’m Socrates – philosopher, performer, and proud predator.
I soar nightly through the spotlight as one of the stars of the Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary Free Flight Show, where I bring grace, wisdom, and just a touch of theatre.
Yes, I eat rats.
No, I will not apologise.
I’m a barn owl – it’s literally in the job description.
But beyond my incredible hearing and mid-air elegance, I’m also a symbol of ancient knowledge, ecological balance, and, if I’m being honest, downright good looks. I’m here not just to impress, but to educate and inspire.
For $10/month, you can become one of Socrates' Lonely Fans, supporting:
Nutritional needs (including ethically sourced meals—yes, rats)
Vet care and conditioning to keep me flight-ready
Conservation education programs that highlight owls' importance in the wild
In return, I offer:
A fan certificate that says you back brilliance
Regular updates, photos, and possibly a few swoon-worthy stares
That powerful feeling of knowing you support a bird who earns his applause
So… do you value wisdom, performance, and a little edge? Then we’re a perfect match.

Lonely Fans: Sponsor a Wild Soul
At Byron Bay Wildlife Sanctuary, we care for animals who’ve been displaced, injured, or orphaned due to habitat destruction, extreme weather, or human activity. These incredible animals are no longer just wildlife – they’re wild souls in need of support.
Through Lonely Fans, we’re inviting animal lovers (yes, you!) to connect with our residents in a new way: as fans.
Each animal has their own Lonely Fan profile, a personality-filled bio, and a real story. From Arni the koala to Pepita the parrot, your sponsorship makes a real difference in their daily lives – from food to vet care to long-term sanctuary upgrades.
Why This Matters:
Koalas like Arni are now endangered in many parts of Australia.
Rising costs of care, rehabilitation, and habitat restoration are stretching wildlife centres thin.
Your recurring donation helps us provide consistent care and long-term planning.
This isn’t charity fluff. This is real, tangible help – dressed up with a bit of humor and heart to reach more people who can make a difference.
💛 Ways You Can Help:
Sponsor an animal for as little as $10/month
Share your Lonely Fan’s story on socials to help raise awareness
Gift a sponsorship to a friend who loves animals.
Become a Lonely Fan today. Because no one should be this wild and alone.
