It is a heartwarming story but realistic as well.

@@eagles_s I don’t exactly agree with that. I believe that you can have an owl but only if you’re qualified in falconry. Many birds of prey (owls especially) can live happily in captivity and on top of that will live a longer life then what they would in the wild since in captivity they are never going hungry, have access to healthcare and don’t have any predators. I just think at the end of the day anyone who wants to look after an owl (or a bird of prey) should have the proper qualifications and abilities to respect these powerful birds. And on top of that it should also be a breeders mission to make sure these birds are going to the right people.
@eagles_s3 жыл бұрын
@@eggy-potter Ill clarify, nobody should be allowed to have an owl as a housepet. Its an Apex predator, would you keep a Lion or a Black Bear? Its natural instincts are to hunt and fly, not perch on ones shoulder. Falconry is not having a raptor as a pet, its using Raptors for educational and conservation purposes. In terms of life span though, one barn owl in the wild for 4 years can produce another 40, as compared to one in captivity for 20 that may produce none.

@@eagles_s personally I think there are some people who have the ability to properly care for and provide enrichment for an owl while keeping them privately.

He brought it home in a bird cage (no idea where he got the cage). it would watch TV with us and we fed it chicken and ham. We kept it for a week or so to make sure it was ok. Never was rattled or scared. He took it back to where he was when it konked itself. On a serious note. Katie is an amazing lady to dedicate herself to so much work with the Owls. I love to hear the owls hooting in the woods near my home in the evening and night.

If you live out in “owl county” and you’re interested in owls the best thing to do IMHO would be to buy an owl house from a reputable hardware store that can be set up in your own back yard nailed to a tree, It’s the same principle as a bird house just bigger. Do be prepared for bones and bits of dead animals by your owl house though, They are hunters after all and can leave something of a mess when they find a meal and will feed baby owls in their nest.

Owls have always been my favorite type of bird. I never seriously thought of having one as a pet, though. I suspect the fact that I went to several educational programs as a kid and observed their behavior firsthand had something to do with that. I once got to see an owl cast a pellet during a presentation, which was neat, but slightly gross. I think it also helps that I was older (high school age) when the Harry Potter series came out.

I mean, we risk a lot of the same stuff with herps that birds of prey keepers do, though it seems BOPs are much more unpredictable. Just a thought, I know very little about owls other than they are cool and that little one was adorable lol.
