[Shirley]

Congratulations on posting your pics! :dance:

Your birds are beautiful! And the OWL!!! Wow! what kind of an owl is it? How is it you are allowed to keep an owl? I noticed it's banded.

Thanks! (Oh, and I moved your post to Canaries and Finches since it's mainly Canaries)

:wub:

Awww, you have some adorable birds. I'd love to hear about the owl too.

Thanks for sharing them.

my owl is called spooky she is a 3 year old barn owl i have had her since
she was 4 week old and i hand reared her to what she is now . she used to live in he house up to the age of one then i made her a big flyt in my garden it is 20 foot long and 10 foot wide with a 6x4 shed at one end this is were she sleeps . she eats lots of day old chicks and rats .its good to have a owl as you dont get mice or rats in the garden . spooky is very light and very soft . as i work at a youth club i have taken her down with me many time the kids love her (BUT NOT WHEN SHE GIVES THEM A PELLET. ) she will fly to me every time i call her name most of the time she is on my shoulder or arm .because she gets upset if she nose i am around and have not talked to her she is like a big kid . its because she has bonded to me and i have inprinted her to come to me. i love her lot and cant be with out her . in england you can keep owls or any bird right
up to a eagle as long as you have a licence. but i am not aloud to breed here if i did not that i would i would need a licence from the goverment
and it would make her wild. my A 10 is just to say that she live here with me . :heart: :wub:

[Jean]

That is a touching story. :heart: Did she fall out of a nest or something happen to her parents? She souds adorable! I am so glad you posted her pic and shared her story with us.

Thank you!

when she was 4weeks old i got her from a breeder she cost me £60 . dont no how much that is IN THE U.S.A .but i love her lots and glad i got her. the breeder had 30 owls and birds of prey in his garden .he had every owl you could name . it opened my
eyes i can tell you.are you not aloud to keep owls in the U.S.A ?

shirley i have put a thread on this forum about spooky my owl is that ok as i no its for canaries and finchs . i get confused with were i am sorry if it the wrong place.

[Shirley]

I love your Owl and his story! No, you can't keep them here... you have to have a licence and it has to be a rehab situation - injury, etc.

As to your question, the Owl story you could post his pic and put it in Squawk n Talk OR Miscellanious Medley... separate from the Canaries. It's real complicated to "split" the thread, and I don't have time to do that, but if you want, you can post his pic there and then copy/paste your story again over there. It's OK to be in both places.

He's an amazing beautiful owl!!! :heart:

The owl is amazing. It is allowed to keep birds of prey here (they don't have to be rescues) and falconry displays are commonplace.

Shirley, Barn Owls are I think the most common in the UK. You often see them near fields/hedge rows at dusk, Or even in the morning. I once saw one on the way to work when I went 'the back way' which is a country road.
Many falconers (don't know if that is the correct term!!) keep barn owls, and you often see them at falconry centres.

Thank you Kristie, I'm LOVING these links! I had no idea! and it looks like Harry Potter's owl is a barn owl! The pics of the fluffy white babies is absolutely adorable beyond description! :heart:

[Jean]

A companion owl is unique and rare here in the US due to their restrictions. I hope you will share more information about your comapnion barn owl. He sounds so interesting.

These are good links Kristy. Thanks!
