[@Lambotino]

owls are really cool, but it sucks to a bird like this stuck on a chain

[@prickly_procyonids]

Lookie is not wearing a chain, she’s wearing jesses and a cord. It’s just like a leash for dogs, and is used for the safety of both the owl and the human. Owls and other birds of prey only fly when they’re hunting. When they’re not hungry, they’ll roost in the same position for hours on end. It’s not cruel.

[@seasluggs]

Tayler Daye you being like "blah blah blah" just shows you know you're wrong and you have no real argument but you're too stubborn to back down. Maybe next time u should keep your fake high morals and irrational opinions to yourself when you have zero idea of what the hell you're talking about

[@squidline]

Birds can be domesticated. I mean it doesn't mean we have to keep all owls as pets. They are wild animals but what he or she is trying to say is that some owls think that its beneficial for them to live with humans cause there is a better chance of survival for them. Kind of like co existing with bees and flowers.

Metal Fan 2018 you must be fun at parties

[@llamal0verking]

Isaiah Jimenez I would just like to throw my 2 cents in and say that owls have been kept at pets since like 2000 B.C. to help with hunting scouting or just as a pet. And you need to understand that animals don’t have the same mindset as human beings some animals like dogs have a natural love to serve. It’s very hard to explain how it works but I recommend reading up on it as it is very interesting.

Honestly, if the animal can live on it's own in the wild without struggling then it's best not to keep them as a pet.

[@daviedood2503]

@C Davis it's not illegal, especially if you live in the country like we did. Problem is, they're fuckin MEAN. My dad tried to help one that had a broken wing. My dad put a straight piece of wood on the wing and tried to gently tie it so the wing would heal back correctly, and the huge owl ended up grabbing my Dad on the side of his stomach with his feet and claws. It pierced my dad's skin of course and he got lucky as the owl could have ripped my dad's intestines out and / or damaged my dad's organs. All because my dad wanted to "help him". Yes it was a wild ass adult owl, and yes my dad had a "few beers" at the time 😂 but at the end of the day, they're WILD.

I used to have a pet owl that I rescued from near death. He made a lovely pet, but I kept him in a large enclosure outdoors, with trees and plants and a mini waterfall in there, so it was like he was in the wild. So you can have a pet owl, but keep it right... not like this woman who is basically chaining it up all day to one perch in her house.

ボイス You comment proved my point further with the fact that you and many people don’t care. Blaming the fact that humans have used animals for a very long time doesnt normalize or make it better. It’s stupid and wrong. Maybe don’t use how stupid humans were back then as an excuse to be equally as stupid now. I do believe that animals should be rescued but not BRED and showed off for KZbin videos. If people stopped breeding animals, there would be no more needing to be rescued (unless found in the wild injured) But I guess causing a problem and using the solution of your own created problems is excuse enough to parade around animals like cool little trophies. Now please piss off you ragey little child.

Fuckin depressing man

[@flamingapplepie1]

Castiel Arc7 I read somewhere that cats basically domesticated themselves bc they kept rodents at bay and just kinda moved in. You’re right, there is no benefit for the owl in this situation. Someone needs to set this poor baby free or at least a sanctuary where he can fly freely

[@salemdel8418]

Owls are super cool, and my favorite type of bird. But they should never be pets.

[@justin2308]

A more ethical method would be to build a small aviary for it to live in, and only put the anklets on if you take them outside so they don’t get lost. That way, there’s more freedom of movement. Either way, owning an owl definitely seems to be for an outdoor-oriented person.

[@puntrolofficer5267]

[@alisonharman1346]

When doing recalls, if the bird does not respond, avoid coming closer. Stop and allow the owl time to think things over a bit. Try again. By coming closer, you inadvertently train it to wait until you are closer, therefore not having to fly as far. Recall weight should be with instantaneous results. Increase distance, not decrease. This is how reliable consistency Is achieved. Weight management is vital. Also consider a single cue, such as it's name, or the glove tap, or clicker or whistle. Using multiple cues does work, but each time has to be identical. Calling and tapping should always be consistent, not one without the other. This only sends multiple messages that confuse the own. Not being critical in a negative way. Constructive offers to help you along. Love your english capabilities and adoring accent. No apologies ever needed. And ignore the comments by those who have no comprehension of Raptors and who assume their misconceptions to be truths. Remember.... The most dangerous people are not those who are ill informed, but those who are wrong and truly believe their ignorance is right.

He hung around my house for a while afterwards, because I recognized his hissy screech at night.

LIke you, I love owls. I own a Blue Front Amazon Parrot, but that's a totally different bird species with totally different personalities. My parrot, Corkie, eats almost 100% seed food with dried fruit in it. I live in Newfoundland, Canada. We need more owls in nature because we're overrun with rats, mice, moles, lemmings, etc. Owning an owl as a pet is a totally other situation. It's a paperwork headache to get a permit to own an owl in Canada. They have to be bred in captivity and qualify under CITES with the appropriate ankle band.

Depends on how you view things: in the wild they are free but I guess they have a tougher life: there isn't always enough food, the winters can become very cold, a lot of owls die very young because of diseases etc... In the wild an owl becomes 1 or 2 years old, in captivity it can become 25-30 years old.

[@mjloveah9108]

Vegan Hippie Yeah, but ask yourself what's better for the animal. A shorter life but with the opportunity to be free and explore it's natural instincts or a longer life but being chained and kept inside a house. Wild animals are wild animals for a reason. You're depriving it from it's right to be free and live a fulfilling life.

[@seasluggs]

Mjloveah your moral values are extremely biased and selfish. Even if they are captive it doesn't mean they're unhappy. It's the same for you. You have all the freedom in the world to quit your day job and go live out in the woods but you dont want to because you actually enjoy the comfort of your home and knowing you have warmth and food ready. I dont know why people like you think you have some sort of high moral because you state basic arguments in KZbin comments. But the reality of ik t is is that some animals are born with a disadvantage and are taken into captivity for a better, longer, and healthier life. This is why animal sanctuaries exist. Barn owls specifically were once endangered and still pretty much are. Us taking them into captivity and keeping them as pets made their species able to grow and continue to grow. You need to get off your high horse looking down at people who keep pets like this because your logic is ignorant and embarrassing

[@mjloveah9108]

Drcu1a So you're saying that an animal that has lived for milions of years in the wild and continuous to do so is better off being kept inside of a house in a cage with a chain attached to it's leg instead of being set free? And I agree that injured wild animals and animals born with some sort of disadvantage should be taken care of but in this case this is a perfectly healthy animal... The fact that it needs to be chained shows so obviously that it simply doesn't belong there. There's a big difference between domesticated and wild. Wild animals have much stronger instincts that are connected to their specific habitat. With that in mind depriving it from exploring it's basic insticts and keeping it captive because YOU feel like this is what is best for it just screams selfishness to me. There's a reason why keeping them as pets is illegal in most countries. So I am not sure who needs to get off their high horse and stop being ignorant in this case.

[@seasluggs]

Mjloveah you ever considered that its humans fault why sime of these species are endangered, and im nit talking about the people who keep them in sanctuaries or as pets but the crazies who haunt these birds because of superstition or for their feathers. Theres a reason why theres sucha strict law on owning/hunting/harmibg these animals and its specifically because of that. Am i saying these animals are inable to take care of themselves? No. Most animals can. But when we're the ones over hunting and exposing them its only right we take care of them and bring them back to populations.

Your owl is lovely! Thanks for putting effort into this video, it answered a lot of my basic questions. I can't own one, but maybe someday!

The Basics of owning an Owl 1. Don't 2. See step 1

[@TheProxy9]

Owning an owl to me is like when people declaw their cats or dock their dogs tails... it's senseless. The ONLY reason that ANYONE should have an owl in their home is to either rehabilitate it and then set it free again OR if the owl has something wrong with it (such as missing limbs or irreparable damage that inhibits their ability to survive on their own in the wild.) Keeping a mysterious and REASONABLY illusive creature such as this is PURE travesty.

[@tomsmith3241]

It is illegal to keep owls without special permits in most countries. The United States does not allow private individuals to keep native owls as pets--they may only be possessed by trained, licensed individuals while being rehabilitated, as foster parents in a rehabilitation facility, as part of a breeding program or for educational purposes. Ten other reasons why you wouldn't want an owl for a pet: www.internationalowlcenter.org/owlsaspets.html

[@Ravik310]

A vegan/ an individual who is against suffering in animal has an owl as a pet???..... Im done..

[@pidgedidge]

I'm POSITIVE the owl is happy. It's like keeping any other animal. Actually, if one were to make any argument like this, parrots and dogs should be off limits because of their intelligence. Are they? Of course not! Yes, they're both high maintenance but if you can deliver both parties are happy. Owls, on the other hand, are not the sharpest pair of battle claws in the cupboard. Don't get me wrong, they're brilliant hunters, but as far as brains and intelligence, they don't win the vole. As long as they're properly cared for and happy, it's the same as keeping any other animal.

[@noneck8166]

This woman just explained that some owls are bred for captivity and people are fighting in the comments. If her owl isn't bred for captivity then wreak havoc all you want but it would be dangerous to let it into the wild if it wasn't bred for it.

A well care for N American barn owl, raised in captivity, has a life expectancy of 15+ years. In the wild, only 1 chick in 15 will survive to breed and raise its own chicks. Also, N A barn owls mate for life.

[@rossturpin4696]

Can’t keep it loose in house. Can’t let it go outside loose. So the owl is basically a prisoner for your self gratification... got it.

[@lordfarquuad207]

People are saying that wearing anklets for Owls are bad when actually it is just a safety precaution. Sure, you can set it free from time to time when you have time inside the house. If you bring it outside without anklets then it might fly away and again ‘if it is bred, it cannot survive in the wild’ which I completely agree on. The Owl’s safety is your responsibility along with many others and if you think anklets are bad then you should not keep an owl for you are just saying you completely trust the owl even though the creature will try to run away from you because you are a stranger to them. Animals like Owls are unpredictable in behaviour so if you do not try and follow the basics, you will lose your pet and it will be your fault. I am pressing this matter hard on people because I have once lost my own pet due to me not having a leash on them. It is harder to move on from because I felt so attached to it, please heed advice from the person who still has a healthy, happy owl than your own personal opinion. Your thoughts can never always be true and accurate and you must learn to accept that. Do your own research and if your pet needs safety precautions like putting leashes on them, do it. I hope you all understand this message and follow it to avoid future loss.

[@DivaInTheWoods]

For those with trigger sensitivities, the frozen baby chick is at 4:45. I'm not particularly sensitive as I understand the necessary roles in nature. However, that particular image did sadden me. Maybe it's because there is human intervention in this "circle of life" or maybe it was the contortion of the body. In any event, those who are extra sensitive should be on alert just before that time stamp. I should add that I did not hear how she obtained the chick. I'm thinking I probably don't want to know either. 😒

[@loganwebb5449]

Sounds like any pet that would bounce and never come back again if given the chance may not be prime pet material.

[@fraine8790]

They can’t survive in the wild since they were bred and is use to captivity. You would be sending them to death because they expect food to be handed to them because they are so use to it and they don’t know how to hunt. So you can’t just let them go

[@dragonninjaghostgirl7981]

Harry make it so easy to keep an owl as a pet.

[@samreilly9280]

In reality, it is not. First of all, all native owls (including the snowy owl) are protected. This makes it very illegal to own one as a pet, let alone own a piece of one. However, zoos and other animal facilities, as well as those in the falconry industry, are exempt from this law. But, in other countries, people own owls, and I’ve read that it’s a very hard experience.

[@princesscelestia1172]

In the United States it’s illegal to keep a native species of owl in North America as a pet including snowy owls, burrowing owls, barn owls great horned owl. But it is legal to have a non native species tho without lots of permit crap

[@hanab3758]

I dont get the logic behind that

[@rozchaeng9601]

I've never thought about getting an owl but it started a year ago. I was going to my roof which is 4th floor of our house. The gate to my roof is in a closed area but it's wide open and spacious. I was going to the gate but I felt like something is moving it's wings. Guess what? It was a cute, little white owl like the one in the video. I didn't properly see what it was because I was so damn close to it. So I blinked twice and finally got to see a owl for the first time in real life so close. I was so scared I ran downstairs. I felt protective of my dogs so I took them with me even though I was panting. Even the owl was scared because we don't go to our roof often so maybe he rested there for about a week or so idk. And I suddenly came to my roof and scared him by mistake(I was scared too).I felt so bad for him and then the next day I went again to check if it was still there but he was not. I really want a cute, white owl like him but I can't because my parents got me two dogs last year only.(they were only about 6 months when I met the owl.)

I thought about owning an owl so I looked at this video. Immediately when I saw what they had to eat, i realized this is not the pet for me. Thank you

[@blu3b0t63]

Owl or any bird should not be kept as pet. They are meant to fly in the sky and be free not kept in cages or shackled at houses as fancy pets. When I was a kid I had a pet wild Partridge named Frooty whom I rescued. She was never kept in cage . She used to fly away everyday and comeback to me when it used to be dark. I really cried for a month when she passed away. It was the only pet I ever owned :)

[@thecornchipexecutioner7559]

This comment makes me sad because I have two conures that I love dearly. One of them can fly but the other can’t because Petco decided to cut the wings before they handed him to me. You’re comment makes me feel like I’m doing something that’s wrong and that I’m hurting the animal everyday that it’s with me. I understand where you are coming from but by saying that all birds should not be kept as pets is a little bit of a stretch. 💚
