The rescue centre saw a gap and decided to sell these little pants to raise funds - and a movement began!
During one of their Monday 'Good Things Guy' segments, Brent Lindeque and Danny Painter spoke about the project, someone heard, and they posted that they would love to come and tell us all about it!
On Tuesday, they join us in studio to talk about how, why, and where to from here, as well as the great work they do in owl rescue and rehabilitation!
