I completely agree, I dont agree with these people posting videos of pet owls online, its just encouraging more people to jump on the bandwagon. I live opposite a small nature reserve and at night, I hear the hooting of tawny owls and screeching of barn owls like 40 yards away. Why the heck would you want to mess with that? They are nocturnal active during dark hours and we as humans go to sleep at night during dark hours so how can we provide care for such a species it makes no sense for us to keep them as ''pets'' these animals should be free not shacked up with some old crone or some narcissistic kids lit up home. Get another dog or cat!

In nature there is the ecosystem that takes care of disposing of waste: for the excrement there are dung beetles, for the vomit marks of feathers and rest of bones of the prey there are the microorganisms of the soil and insects. If we want to live with owls, keeping them armored in a room is not a good idea and I don't understand where the idea comes from that a bird of prey hunter can be kept permanently locked up in an artificial cave like our homes. Perhaps instead of accustoming animals to living in cages, we should do a rehabilitation course for humans on how to live in contact with the natural world again. It would be more efficient.

How is it worse than keeping any other moderate maintenance pet? If you had a lizard you’d have to feed it live bugs. Dogs are noisy. Rabbits crap everywhere. Many cats don’t like being petted. Most every pet is a fair bit of expense and effort to tend. I’m not saying you should get an owl, but, if this list puts you off, then most pets will be more work than you’d like.

"most don't like to be pet and cuddled" there is an exception to this rule...like any bird,if an owl imprints on a person...they will show genuine desires of affection from them,and rather enjoy be pet,groomed and stroked,especially in ereas they cannot reach." while its true you should not keep them as pets,there are a few species that enjoy a sybiotic relationship with humans to the point its possible to befreind and form a bond with wild ones.. barn owls are a good example of this.
@InternationalOwlCenter4 жыл бұрын
This varies by species, and Great Horned Owls do not engage in mutual preening and don't like it. The flip side is that human imprints (like Barn Owls) can be very aggressive with anyone other than the person they are bonded with.

Operative word in that pair of sentences is 'domesticated.' Is owning a wild animal okay? No, it is not. Is owning a tamed animal okay? No, it is not, unless you have certification and/or the circumstance is appropriate. That said, IF we were to domesticate an owl, say... like we domesticated dogs and cats, I don't see what the issue would be with that.

Even in countries where it is legal, we have gotten many emails from people whose owls get sick and they don't know how to care for them and don't have proper veterinary care, so the owls pay the price and die for peoples' whims to have pet owls.

Good luck. Snowy Owls are way way bigger than I thought.

Not a chance you can build a pen big enough for that animal. Beautiful but stunningly huge.
