For Sale..Apply within.
That is amazing. I love owls. Often see them out in the sticks driving home of an evening. They look spooky coming towards you!
Beautiful birds though!

The birds get there weight brought down by feeding low protein food..Once they they reach there desired weight...( a bird has two)..One being a flying weight where the bird will fly and allways come back to you...And two...Where the bird will fly and hunt and catch for you.

It will stay close by you like up in the nearest tree...If you walk away the bird will follow you...The bird assoites you with food...i bring up all my birds to work with the dog and ferrets.

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Occasionally have a small white owl fly over me when i've got the dog out at night, always in the same location give or take 20-30 metres. It's a smallish white one, would that be a barn owl? Love watching it flying around. Also around my way we have more and more red kites, buzzards also seem to be on the increase in areas where you wouldn't normally expect to see them.
Gorgeous birds Matt, love seeing birds of prey, something really primitive about them.

They do Ric but the problem I won't use them is because my harris and sparrowhawk go crashing into the bushes and trees and the peregrine pulls over 200 mph on a stoop from a 1000ft... So it's extra weight for the bird plus you run the risk of losing it.
