awesome! :D I love owls, what kinds did you get to hold? The largest I had on my arm was a Great Owl, which was very heavy! We used to own a little owl as well, who we rescued from a field with a broken wing :D

I got to hold the largest owl they had, which was a Siberian Eagle Owl; And I got to fly the little grey Scops owl in the photos, and everything in between. It was incredible! ^^

What was your little owl like to take care of?

very easy actually! It probably helped that he was very young when we found him too. If you just keep them on your arm whilst your doing quiet/normal things, they get used to you very quickly. Our mum used to do 'training' by letting him fly around the kitchen before coming back to her for food. Within six months he was able to sit outside by himself and didnt bother flying anywhere.
The only difficult thing was getting the right kind of food, if you dont get the right balance of vitamans etc. then they get malnutrition very easily, but I guess if you do your research then that isnt a problem.

Way cool. I used to volunteer at a zoo here. I got to hold a couple of their owls and birds of prey. They are such neat creatures.
