Mmm, I know what you mean. I always have really mixed emotions around having birds as pets. On the one hand, they’re super cool. On the other… I just can’t imagine what it would be like to be able to fly and spend your life confined to a cage.

[@nullvektor9922]

[@phancyisfancy8510]

@@GhostOfLorelei birds can be great pets, if cared for well. they shouldn't stay in their cages all day, it should only be a sleeping spot. the rest of the day they should have the ability to fly and stretch their wings (am a bird owner, I love them very much :) )

[@moldysponge.]

@@GhostOfLorelei not all birds spend their entire lives in cages. Many people tame them and over time bond to them and spend half the day flying around the house and sme birds can free flight, meaning that they can fly freely outside and come back to their owners when called. Yet, some owners keep their birds in cages all day, everyday. A bird's cage should only be a sleeping or resting spot. I mean i have a cockatiel who flies and walks around the house most of her day.

[@ximec.r.2643]

I rescued an owl chick when the tree it was nesting was cut down. They (I never found their gender) were able to fly but one of their feet was broken and mended badly so they weren't able to hunt well. I kept them until they were able to fly but the worry of their well being kept me from letting them fly outside (never had them in a cage). I should have at least tried to and before I decided they caught a terrible illness. Owls are super affectionate and smart, but loud sounds and bright lights are bad for them, which is the opposite of most human lifestyles, seeing them in such small cages is sad.

[@sugarxkiss4183]

I went to an owl cafe (not this one) years ago in Japan and thought wow that's so cool. Once I get there and experience everything I felt so bad for the birds bc they are chained and clipped so they don't fly around. I felt morally ambiguous about the whole owl cafe concept

[@wzx6x6z6w]

As a foreigner the best thing you can do is to not support these kind of places, let your family and close friends know, don't give them any sort of publicity and money, and pray one day Japanese government can finally illegalize owning owls or other exotic animals as pets.

[@KittenBowl1]

Best thing is do NOT go to these cafes if you don’t agree with them. However, these animals aren’t abused due to strict animal cruelty laws in Japan. It’s a felony to abuse animals here. I’m sick of these westerners who come to Japan and don’t like something while you ignore your own. I’ve seen those Broiler chicken farms in the US they got no room to move. You know how many diseased poor conditioned cats and dogs in NY?! Millions more than Japan. Or you haven’t seen those animal planet shows of cat ladies that have 70 cats, that’s really cruel. None of that exists in Japan. Or you Brits forgot the fact that lions were getting hunted as a sport not too long ago on Africa. I mean westerners have no right to criticize especially the Japanese. Alaskan crab fishermen who abused their rights that there’re no more crabs. None of that BS is in Japan. Don’t like it? Don’t go there and don’t come to Japan. Japan isn’t the West and we aren’t about to be colonized by America. Europeans also should stop expecting every other country to be just like Europe. And their animal welfare isn’t that much better than that of the US which is the worst I have seen in the world among all developed countries.

I’m Japanese and had opportunities to volunteer at wildlife rescues in the U.S. There were strict protocols of handling owls, such as not making eye contacts, wearing camo to disguise our appearance, wearing gloves to prevent from germs and virus exposure, etc. These birds are not designed to just sit around and being pet in a confined space with bunch of other owls like pet animals. There are raptors that are supposed to fly, hunt and be territorial. It bleeds my heart watching that these people are ignorantly supporting the business/making the money with the sacrifice of owls’ well-being…It’s just another depressing reality of how our (Japanese) society isn’t ready for upgrading the animal rights status.

[@Greggah]

Im not a 100% sure about the owls actually- its probably because you were releasing them into the wild that you needed to keep them naturally scared of people. Owls are much like cats when it comes to intelligence, they dont need to be outside, just like cats can be fine inside- they are quite dumb animals comparatively. Excellent hunters but not really needing cognitive stimulation. Im more worried about the parrots, or for example keeping a crow as a pet- they will get bored really fast if you dont keep them very enriched with challenges.

[@ghoulathyr6667]

4:05 The bird has holes where it lacks feathers, and that means that it has a lot of stress, if the owner does not do anything about it, sooner or later it will die from stress.

[@yonashira3853]

I loved the space where the owl can move freely. But the parrots and smaller birds looked often unhealthy, sometimes half plucked :( I don´t know wether they are sick or have mental health issues because of a lack of partners and the ability to fly around freely :(

There's an owl cafè in my country too and it raised a lot of concerns because of the nocturnal aspect of a lot of the birds. Tbh, i agree with those who raised such complains, because I don't want the animals to be too stressed (some in this video seemed to be) and unhealthy. I like places that are a good environment for humans and animals to coexist peacefully. You were really careful with all of them and approached them in a good way (some definitely liked your touch). Thanks for it. P.s. i rescued some hedgehogs in the past, they are too cute for their own good. Great specimen. I love that they're there too!

[@MssEllefry]

[@mixusup]

I dont think the cafes are good for the birds... at least not in this form, maybe an aviary that rescued birds that had a cafe next to it would be fine. Anyway what i was originally going to say is that not all owls are nocturnal most are something called cropuscular (spelling might be wrong). Witch means they are awake at dusk and dawn and sleep at night and midday. And some are even diurnal (a.k.a. up during the day) So it would be important to check what kind of owl... not that it matters if their being kept in cramped conditions. Anyway just thought id teach you a neet fact ^-^

[@yuzu-tsuyu]

That was my first thought as well--I have a lot of concerns about the health and happiness of the parrots, but owls are nocturnal and forcing them to stay awake all day seems quite cruel. At the very least, they should limit the visiting hours to evening for the owls (though I wonder if maybe that is intentional as they may be more docile when sleepy.) There is a reason why owls are illegal to keep as pets in most developed nations. While an outdoor aviary combined with a cafe could be a lovely concept, I doubt a for-profit business would ever put in that much effort. In the years I lived in Japan it was unfortunately very clear to me that concern for animal welfare is just not a very high priority for most people.

[@samanthalopez3744]

As beautiful as the birds are, in this video, I'm deeply disturbed to see these precious birds in captivity. -They do not belong to humans! They belong in their natural habitats. -As humans, we have a long way to go.

[@AshRaeK]

I feel bad for the birds here. I've done falconry outside and the birds had large cages, larger than my bedroom. They got to fly outside and were trained to come perch on our arms. In my opinion, it was a better experience for us and for the birds. These birds look cramped and stressed, birds are very sensitive and intelligent.

Some of them might be rescues and have no chance or never had a chance to live in the wild so being at a cafe where they are well taken care of might not be so bad as opposed to starving to death in the wild

[@Undy1]

​@@myrtlesnow2397 That's true, life in the wild is not all sunshine and rainbows - but that doesn't mean keeping them in bad conditions is okay just because it's "safe". These birds - especially the parrots are one of the smartest animals on Earth - they're literally smarter than dogs and rival Chimpanzees in intelligence. These animals are bored out their minds in those small cages or on those leashes. It's a literal prison for them. I don't think keeping animals like that is always wrong though - it can be okay as long as are given enough space with enough things to do (entertainment) and companionship (be it human or a mate).

I agree, not good to encourage the poaching of owls. A rescue would be beautiful but this is just a sad pet store with sad birds.

[@puppydogs68]

I mean…owls most definitely shouldn’t be kept as pets, but parakeets or other brightly colored birds can’t exactly be released into the wild. A larger bird of prey would spot them in 2 seconds flat. This is exactly why the “releasing parakeets into the wild” trend is so problematic.

I feel terrible for those parrots. I own parrots, some of them are rescued from situations like this where they were kept in tiny cages. The cockatoo is very stressed out and craving attention. I wish a rescue would come and take these parrots.

[@KF-hf4nt]

I was about to say this would be a wonderful idea with a few guidelines I typed below, then I realized I've had just as much enjoyment at a proper outdoor bird sanctuary and the brids would be much better off. But if they insist on doing this they must at least have - Maximum of 10 birds so there are plenty to go around and can swap in and out to meet people - 1 or 2 hours in the morning free flight before the store opens and another hour or two at night - All of them were rescues so there's no incentive to breed them - Cages at least 4x the size of the bird I was going to say that plucked cockatoo may have been a rescue they were nursing and give them the benefit of the doubt but the fact that it's in a tiny cage doesn't bode well for the argument it isn't stressed. I'd love to go to a place like this but don't want to support the cramped conditions they are in. I'd rather go to a bird sanctuary where i've seen the same kinds of birds get massive enclosures all to themselves and frequent free fly time This concept may be okay for smaller birds but it's much too small and cramped for owls and cockatoos. I really hope there are some behind the scenes stuff we aren't being shown but I'm seeing stuff on the surface that I'm concerned about

[@RyLo18D]

You’ll have to go to a zoo for that. I personally don’t like the cramped conditions either but space is a premium in Japan. They can’t go on free flight unless you really intend for them to fly into a window in the city. So I can understand them working with whatever they have and that applies to most bird-owners in Japan.

I hope this place get the information from someone, the parrots are not happy.

[@dra6o0n]

Japan is known for their very very tiny living spaces, only the owl are given the biggest space because they are not as sociable and barely move (its also because they are tethered). The Owls are raised to basically know that they get fed by customers and the owners at certain points of the day so they don't really feel the need to hunt. Parrots on the other hand are constantly stressed, they are seeking entertainment and interactions all the time and can't handle being stuck in a small cage, or let them fly around freely to wander, they are very curious birds so they'll more or less likely escape or cause a mess by wandering.

watching videos like this is kinda relaxing

[@adblackwell33360]

Those cages are very small for such large birds. They should have a giant room for them, or four.

[@milla_1098]

It seems that red parrots like Ringo are very naughty because I also watch a KZbin channel about a parrot named Gumi of the same type as this parrot and they are both looks so funny 😂😂😂

[@cactusshell1975]

I love the owls. I also love the way you delicately pet them.

[@Gato_Gao]

They dont like being pet they only enjoy it know that their life is what it is. Put yourself in that situation, imagine they took both your legs so you wont be able to walk, lock you in a room and then receiving visits of mentally handicapped people who pet you.

[@닥터페퍼-w9h]

いろいろんな 鳥😵‍💫 ステキ

[@genericbonk]

the parrot saying hi in japanese was so cute

[@rimmossaddaq8685]

Omg the red bird called Ringo is literally similar to another japanese famous red bird of the same species called Gumi XD!!

[@Fogolol]

Wewewee

[@WelfareChrist]

This is wild. As far as I know you're really not supposed to own an Owl in America, but they are unbelievably cute.

[@RonaldoSanchez-g1y]

holy cow so awesome, just put this on my Japan list for 2024

[@missesraisin]

If these animals are rescue, then what a great concept! visited many rescue petting zoo and sanctuary , a good thing.

[@linostoe]

i just wanna say, i love your channel. Yes it the first time im watching it, but the whole aesthetic was so calming. Due to the current situation of Sri Lanka we are unable to travel, but this video made me experience visiting japan again. Pls upload morreeeeeeeeee i love youuuu

[@minami_uuu]

I wish the cafe was more like a huge aviary so they can fly around all they want, but I guess that would be so space consuming to be in the middle of a city. Maybe a bird cafe near the mountains would be possible since there are more land ^-^

[@zay_y]

Those are definitely either mistreated or neglected because one of those birds has really plucked their feathers which is a sign of anxiety or depression

[@Loui_Siana]

Crazy how all these owl's are kept captives

[@videmanica]

Thanks!

[@its_time_to_travel]

Thank you so much!!🙇‍♂️✨

[@NerdyGolfball]

I think Japan is the best place to meet animals. Like the cafe you visited. I love animals and I couldn’t stop saying cute bc they are too cute not to say cute! I said cute 3 time lol

[@ThatAnimalChannel]

The other thing that is kind of sad, owls are mostly nocturnal. I can only imagine being kept up all the time when your natural clock tells you to sleep.

[@iNsOmNiAcAnDrEw]

I wonder how much different the visit to the Owl Cafe would be if it were only open at night.

[@yuzu-tsuyu]

Out of curiosity I looked up the ones they had posted for sale: Western Siberian and Eurasian eagle-owl (mostly nocturnal) American great horned owl (mostly nocturnal) Brown/tawny owl (nocturnal) Indian/Bengal eagle-owl (crepuscular) Pharaoh eagle-owl (nocturnal) African spotted eagle-owl (nocturnal) Snowy owl (diurnal) Ural owl (nocturnal) Great gray owl (crepuscular) Brown wood owl (nocturnal) Great gray owl x Brown wood owl Spectacled owl (nocturnal)

[@keyariusbanks5514]

Owls are so cute.

[@springtrapafton3314]

All those owls are beautiful :3

[@sleepyzzz2096]

I've owned two little birds before (budgies) and despite their size, they needed a pretty big cage. Those cages looked pretty small :(

[@woahwow7343]

These birds shouldn’t be locked up in cafes for humans entertainment. They should be wild and free

[@AlPootis]

I agree

[@hadesestrela]

Yes, i hated see this, it should be close

[@lusely152]

rightt,, this poor birds

[@theoneandonlypopsicle]

it’s a way to help them find homes.

[@CLYZRbby]

I love the owls getting sleepy when u scratch them. We have a cat cafe if it hasnt closed yet, here in Estonia. I like both traveling, hotel and different cafe videos you guys have made! Keep up the good job.

[@iNsOmNiAcAnDrEw]

It's probably something like 'okay the bigger creature doesn't want to hurt me, I can work with this, I'll just relax for now' instead of 'let's snuggle, I'll dream about adventure with you'

[@eevialasalmi5834]

I love this birds

[@MrCrazyPantz1]

I really like the soothing music on the opening intro. 😌

[@iceblueaquamarina7389]

I thought of cat cafes where cats can roam and hide just as they please and are comfortable with. First I liked the video when I saw how relaxed the first owl reacted to being pet. And maybe it actually likes being pet. Then I saw that it was chained and could not move away anyway. And what a tiny little cord. 😕 The cages looked so small and the cockatoo looked like he had lost feathers. Gave me an uneasy feeling.

[@michaelborror4399]

Now I'm thinking I should keep my eyes open for a bird glove one of these days. Looks super awesome, and they've got a hedgehog too. And owl calls can be very soothing to some of the other animals sometimes when they've been having a hard time of late.

[@AbraCassandraCrafts]

I clicked this because I thought it'd make me smile...But instead, as someone who has rescued and owned birds before, ALL of those birds need bigger cages. That cockatoo is exhibiting stress by feather plucking. Probably due to the small cage plus having to see new people all the time. And it is absolutely HORRIBLE that you're BREEDING and selling those majestic owls. They don't belong in cages. I understand that the ones there now are too tame to release but for God's sake don't keep breeding them it's beyond cruel. They should never be pets. It's also really sad for the smaller birds and animals that have to be in the vicinity of those predators who would normally eat them. It must be very stressful.

[@dra6o0n]

A comment says they sell to Zoos and such, so I can only imagine how the Zoo treats them... And this is Japan, they don't care about foreigner's opinions in most cases, only whether the video is sponsored that it helps gather clients or visitors. I don't think Japan has a nature preservation organization because they would be able to see the video and likely take action. Japan doesn't like the act of meddling in other's affairs internally, unless it's something at a societal-human level.

[@madbliffe3933]

why does it fells magical for me

[@notdede]

i went to a similar cafe also in Japan when i was 7, it was all owls. there was a capybara in there too! the birds were very well taken care of.

[@LiliofParis]

I feel sorry for these animals…with all the people around stressing them.

[@xxForgottenx]

I'd imagine a bird "cafe" to be much bigger and spacious, you know for birds to fly around and be birds. But the cafe looks way too small to keep birds. Bird cafes like these should not exist!

[@Quericaking]

The birds deserve more! They rule the skies and are being kept in a cage or Cafe! Not okay Japan

[@haileypaigetoyart2717]

Oh my....such a beautiful intro

[@zooneyl2248]

Are those birds tied down/caged 24/7?

[@judehuppert9422]

종이컵을 얼굴에 쓰고 다니는 링고 너무 재밌네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 새들도 성격이 다 개성이 있군요! 자막도 너무 재밌어요~!

[@lanycera]

So many people saying it's cute. (And then also a minority who voice their concerns, luckily.) No, it is NOT cute. 😡 These cages are too small, and owls are nocturnal animals - they have to deal with people on masse on a daily basis. You can see how distressed some of these birds are, and bored because they can't fly or have a suitable environment. Parrots also do not pull their feathers out if they are kept the right way!! I've seen Japanese cat cafes which also act as an adoption place, and that's the ONLY place I would support because the people genuinely care + are trying to give pets a home.

[@dra6o0n]

It makes sense to have a remote location sheltering rescued animals for possibly adoption to the right clients, but not bred or showcase as part of a cafe/bar attraction.

[@spitfire4793]

Oooo! I now want to go there! I LOVE BIRDS!

[@M1N1Girl007]

I love your videos😍! Cheers from Florida, U.S. I can't wait to visit these cafes on your channel!

[@villeiko]

the cockatiel (puta chan) looked like it was pluckings her own feathers from stress.. and the cage was quite small for a parrot

[@jbythebay1543]

This is pretty sad....i mean the birds are very cute but the environment seems highly unnatural and the owl room has a loud hum of an AC or something, which i can imagine would drive the owls crazy with their SUPER sensitive hearing (the most sensitive of any animal). The other birds don't look great either. Should be illegal to have them in this 'store' type environment. Poor guys.

[@dra6o0n]

It would be understandable if it's a owl cafe with only a few owls in dimly lit rooms, but this is Japan we are talking about. Cramped living spaces, noisy city environment, etc. If it were rural Japan in a small town, then it'd make sense to have larger buildings to accommodate a owl cafe. But then you'd have little to no visitors. In Japanese culture, you have maybe types of cafe because there are a lot of people.

[@සාධාරණයවෙනුවෙන්]

Me too agree... i wish they can stay jungle than this cafe

[@fernicusmaximus9282]

You guys need to build an area for them to fly around

[@ruthalas46]

Thanks I love it so much the café is so adorable!!!!

[@ReinKayomi]

That cafe is something Mumei would totally visit

[@ИринаФранц-ф4э]

Ой совы! Такие милые ! И ёжики . У меня в детстве был ёжик , он жил вместе с кошкой, гонял ее по дому.

[@flme80]

Thats terrible from bird's point of view. The cages are to small, some birds are alone in one very small cage. No pet protection at all, just making money with the owls. Japan still has to learn how to treat animals. Greetings from Europe.

[@СветланаЖолнерович-в2ц]

Очень красиво и и нтересно!!!! Благодарю!!!

[@tikimillie]

Thank thumbnail is such a mood

[@رسامة-ع7ب]

I really want to go to Japan, Tokyo. I love this for a beautiful thing. I also like Japan. 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🤍🤍🤍❤❤❤

[@soph96374]

At first I thought this would be fun but watching it I can see that the birds are stressed. The parrot outside the door has plucked out some feathers. And it's sad to see them all tied up or in small cages...

[@Pstanich]

I don't like the ideas of owls in captivity. Selling them isn't legal I. US, especially snowy owls

[@nadiak2599]

I agree, there's no difference to a pet shop, it's a sad and depressing place for these poor birds. Owls chained to poles, or big parrots locked in cages day after day is such an inhumane living environment.

[@HPMCCPooTis]

Parrots speaking Japanese is not something I knew I needed in my life.

[@robinbailey-leonard3016]

My husband and I are casual birdwatchers, and we love birds so much! I think I finally found a cafe that I want to visit more than a cat or dog cafe in Japan!

[@Gato_Gao]

Please reconsider this, these animals are not even found in Japan they are trafficked from south east asian countries and many die in transit, babies are separated from their mothers, they even clip their wings so they wont fly. These birds you won't enjoy seeing, if you observe them closely they are not happy they cant fly, they cant hunt, actually they've been mutilated and kidnapped.

[@RyuchanWings]

Man, the laws protecting birds of prey over in Japan are not great, huh? Like most people here, I love the idea of getting to pet an owl, but the sight of that raptor in a box at the entrance made me sad. I'm stunned that they can sell owls over there. In most US states, you have to have a special license to have/care for a live owl, it is usually pretty illegal to have any dead owls, you usually can't even own bird of prey *feathers* unless you are a native American or your ownership of a specimen was grandfathered in because you owned something from before the law went into effect... And then there's the issue with all the parrots, too. I don't know what the conservation situation is like over there, but this... doesn't look like a positive indication?
