How to bond with your owl // bonding techniques

[@GregSr]

My wife and I live near a golf course. One of the golfers saw a baby Barn Owl floundering around in the grass. It had a deformed (not broken) leg and spine. We could only guess that it fell (or was pushed) out of a nearby nest. It would have died right there at the golf course if not rescued. Through social media, the golfer contacted my wife and asked if she could care for it until it could fly. So we agreed to take it in. Vets would not treat it because they are not licensed to treat raptors. This owl was a female and we named her Clover. She was so young she still had the white fuzzy feathers. We knew she would have no chance surviving in the wild. We made a home for her here. We fell in love with her and she with us. For the next four months we raised her the best we knew how. We fed her two medium size mice in the morning and two at night. We'd buy 100 frozen mice, thaw them out and warm them up. Clover would absolutely gobble those mice. Her deformed leg had a clenched talon. She could not catch and hold a live mouse with only one functional talon. Plus, her deformed leg always kept her off balance. After about four months, she stopped eating. Two days later she died on my wife's lap. She was barely breathing and finally took her last breath. She became such a part of our lives. She had such a personality. She loved sitting on our lap while we stroked her neck. She never bit us, but she would give us little love nibbles. She loved her life. Our hearts are absolutely broken.

[@gilbertslalaland4986]

Hello , Thank you for all great advise on how to bond with an Owl ... Yrs ago someone bought me a Barn owl which had fallen from a bridge All muddy like a dirty cotton ball I did my best to feed it even though it would hiss n cry I fed it very carefully. He grew up quickly and ended up growing into a beauty , So when I saw it Start to jump n practice Pouncing on imaginary prey I decided to take it to an Owl refuge 😔 Even though I didn’t want to I had to because I am from the U S and it’s illegal To have native birds . Btw at the owl refuge they told they couldn’t believe how beautiful he was and in such good healthy condition Your barn owl bought back so many good memories , Thank you

[@frantucker608]

Sounds like sage advice - you obviously have a happy, healthy owl and a lovely bond!

[@jokersharley567]

Lol I love how Lookie is falling asleep. Lookie and Cosmos are the most chill owls I've met lol

[@myintthan1]

Hi Ms. Vegen, Greeting from Myanmar ! I got an owl, may be teenager, in a street flying away from the crows under the broad day light, hurt hitting against the walls and closed windows of nearby apartments. So I picked up and kept it with me - he had been sick for about 2 days and now recovered from sneezing ! Thanks very much for your very informative videos on owl care !

[@DaRush-The_Soviet_Gamer]

Wow... Just realized something... When you showed that video of you holding the baby Lookie.. From the angle she was facing she loooked like a Dodo bird. :D This is crazy.

[@dive2663225]

dam..there both so cute...Nice Job girl

[@olpoppy7323]

Great video n very helpful I got mine as an egg n im very excited for the experience im going to have with my owl.

[@redlanterns]

I am so happy I came across your videos. I am not only being entertained by you and adorable little Lookie but also learning alot. I live in San Francisco, California and it is illegal to own an owl here. I have an owl that I adopted but he lives in the zoo. Unfortunately when I go see him I cannot hold him or pet him etc... but he does respond to me when I am there. His name is Wilbur and he at birth, fell out of a tree and contracted west nile virus. He was rescued by hikers and sent to the San Francisco zoo where they care for him. He was cured of the virus but still has some neurological issues as a result so he cannot be left out in the wild. I wish I had him and could care for him as you do with Lookie. I will watch more of your videos so I can learn more . Thank you for what you are doing in educating all of us. You can see my Wilbur in my picture in his barn at the zoo :)

[@alessandranimis9526]

It's true. You awesome. And yes having one I imagine is not cool. It's super cosmic cool 😍😻🦉. Thank you very much, I'm studying the owls behavior and feelings and meaning for an incarnation for theatre 🎭. And have always loved them. Their aesthetics delight me 👩‍🎨. I'm subscribing 🗣. Thanks to Lookie!! Your actitud and perspective makes me grateful to the focus you provide. Have a lovely time together 🦋

[@kellialaine3250]

I want an owl 🦉 so bad.... I'm not sure about the laws here in the United States. I love them so much! ❤️ I can tell your owl loves you very much! ❤️ 👍 Great video!

[@SauceyTycoon]

You can legally own specific species but you would need to check your states specific laws. Most states may ask that you have a falconry license.

[@jenniferh263]

I'm working on getting my falconry permit and take a state exam

[@hoseynheydari2901]

I Love this woman shes so smart I just bought 2 baby owls and im learning from this lady Tnx sweetie I think i should talk to you about my baby owls and ask you some specific questions about my baby's

[@iedy95]

I got my owl (3 days ago) when she was 1 month and 2 weeks. The falconer told me that it will be easier for me to feed it being this big. Is there any chance to create a bound with her considering her age when I took it ?

[@theengineer704]

I find this all so amazing. Question; how do you keep Lookie entertained when you go off to work?

[@jeffwilliamson1426]

YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON AND LOOKIE IS GORGEOUS !

[@skinbyrdable]

Aw THANK YOU that's so sweet!

[@skypilot23]

You are as adorable as your owl.....

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

Imprinting is very important for any animal for that matter. Makes it way easier for them to respect you

[@8yerbrain]

That is one good looking bird.

[@danmekeel7758]

Your a great representative for all raptors, thanks.

[@TheEagel123]

I'm a guy. but I feel like either way, whether it's an owl or a duck, or a dog, it considers me it's mom. It's kinda nice.

[@littledeadmeasmr]

Can you take your owl travelling with you? For example in a car or maybe airplane and how to you transport them? And what environment can owls be in and what they can’t be in? Questions I’ve been wondering :) Love you channel btw! 🖤🖤🖤

if ur having the owl live outside how can u create that close bond and get it used to living outside

[@safahumayraa]

I have school so , how to make them know you aren't home ? How to make them comfortable

[@VipHonolulu]

I hear a baby owl.... making a "SHHHH . SHHHHHHHH" sound. But I keep seeing stray cats trying to get to her/him. Should I save it if the mother isn't there? I'm worried. I think it's a Barn Yard or Pueo owl. Also,, is sunlight bad for their eyes?

[@hkfitness56]

If the mother isn't there it will die. You gotta help it, cause they can also starve alone

[@jessicamessica2271]

get the owl and call a wildlife rehabilitator!

[@rhushemuyepthomi8813]

How can i keep my owl clean and how can do away with its smell

[@jenniferh263]

Can you put anklets on them when they are a few weeks old? So they can get used to it at a early age?

[@db8tkre824]

what kind of toys can you use or are acceptable to use with your imprinted owl?? Referring to play time and avoidance of boredom??

[@jakeb.6487]

How do you discipline Lookie when she misbehaves?

[@HisMajestyTheQween]

[@lauraarcetobon909]

Hello! My owl came home when he was a week old. I was too scared of him at first (he was rescued, some kids killed his mum and he fell off the nest and my dad saved him) the only bonding thing that I used to do back then was feeding him and giving him water, now Cenizo is 1 year and a half old. He let me pet him and hold him but I don’t feel like we have a strong bond... and I would love to have one. He’s a tropical screech owl and I want to start training him. What do you recommend me? He doesn’t like when people touch his face or his stomach.

[@yoshiiaiko3555]

hey you :) if you say go on walks.. is it possible to go on walks with the owl on the shoulder? or is it better on the arm

[@am5300]

thanks for your effort in general telling your story raising your wonderful owl. I wanted to inquire about that owls has to be fed with cut rats or mice or frozen kittens. No way to be raised using plants or so .... because that would be against its nature , am i right ? and because its true nature is predator right ?

[@0doodlez0]

What should u do when u have to leave town or country and u cant take ur owl with u? Can u leave owl with family member even when u go to worck for whole day...?

[@BiangKeladi]

how about juvenile or mature owl dear?

[@Relorelo23]

Indonesia or any other third world country I guess? I saw an owl community once in Indonesia

[@thomashamerslag6006]

In the Netherlands it's still legal I have an owl

[@sewagroznij2935]

Germany,USA (with permit) and in Russia (without permit)

[@theonlyonelille]

one question, i did research on owning owls in germany and didnt find a trudtable source, so where do u have that information from?

[@betacam235]

I have a squadron of large white owls which live in a box in the attic. They get into the box via an 8" square hole at the top of the tower part of this old watermill I live in in France. I suppose this was built into the wall as owls are useful as guardians to keep mice under control....don't want mice around a mill with grain being stored after all. I seem to have a mother and 5 younger owls but I think the mother may have a problem as she breathes so loudly I can hear it at night. Too many Gitanes? I'll be converting the attic but will make sure the owl box is conserved as I like owls more than I like mice in the house.....and of course, being a Harry Potter fan, it does save on stamps. Who needs sms when you have owls?

[@DeerestAshe]

Kinda dark question how do you go about accepting the loss of an owl

[@skinbyrdable]

It would be like losing my own child... I would cry for weeks and would have a VERY hard time!

[@wachowski9525]

The most practical approach would obviously be accepting loss as part of nature, and that death is natural. Understanding grief is normal, etc.

[@fritzifernandes6551]

I got mine at the age roughly one and half year old

[@RAJIVEADHIKARY]

What did u feed during that time (child) ?

[@betacam235]

This 'vegan hippy' certainly knows her owl lore.I'd guess the only way to bond with an owl is, as she said, to have it imprint on you, so get it as a newborn....easier said than done with wild owls. Five of mine are this year's brood, they can fly ok and have no fear of me. About a month ago I was opening he shutters at night so I could see an electrical storm better, the sky was flashing but with no sound....and as i fiddled with the right side wall catch I heard a 'skeutch' noise and something grabbed and then released my3rd finger on the right hand! An owl had flown round the corner from the West wall where their door is and must have thought the wriggling finger was a mouse or lizard. I could quite easily have toppled out of the window and it's a long drop! Beautiful things owls, if a tad hooliganistic. The young ones make the most incredible noises, bangs and crashes up their in the attic, like boisterous puppies with feathers and wings. And they are self-feeding, unlike puppies. May the force be with you, owls.

[@abdullahyounas3194]

Can u train ur owl or walk with ur owl in midnight ?

[@thomaskitlica5572]

From what I've read in the United states you have to catch owls or other birds of prey and they have to be a year old

[@creatifetudes8553]

Just let them in nature. Raise your baby's 😊

How do you fly a owl?

[@anisaarit5022]

Hi, so I happen to get a barn owl from a friend, I think it's around 1 month old, and the white fuzz hair's about to be gone, and it's really defensive, I plan to keep it for a few moment then release it in the wild, but I find it hard to feed and calm it down, do you have any tips, because it's really defensive right now, I'm afraid I might stress it out. I really look forward to any tips and trick, thanks. Ps. I plan to release it once it's bigger and healthier and ready to make fly.. I hope anyone would help me give some tips.. thanku

[@rathmiron]

I don't know if you still have it, but if your goal is to release it to be a wild bird, you shouldn't try to calm it down, you want IT to be afraid of you/humans. Of Course, stress is bad, so keep your interaction with it to a minimum, and keep it as isolated as you can.
