Prophet is a Eurasian eagle owl that Tish Corvidae, avian manager for Horseshoe Bay Resort, bought to help children learn about and appreciate nature. Corvidae tried to save Prophet from the fire but the owl was lost.

Friends of a local bird enthusiast are asking the community for help after a fire destroyed her home last week.

Tish Corvidae and her grandchild escaped the fire that began in an upstairs bedroom of her house at 308 CR 403 on the evening of Sept. 10, but she lost five of her pet birds in the blaze.

An account under her name has been set up at both American Bank of Texas branches in Horseshoe Bay and Marble Falls for anyone who wishes to provide assistance.

Corvidae has worked as an avian manager at the Horseshoe Bay Resort since 1996 and has gone to local schools multiple times to share her feathered friends with curious young students.
