      I fee the same way. Every early am around 4am til about 5am There's a Barred Owl that hoots up a storm...I love it! lol I enjoy its company as well as the others that would chime in occasionally. I like that type of relationship...Same routine I go through every night lol. I love Owls where they are...but as a pet, that a bit much.

      @C Davis it's not illegal, especially if you live in the country like we did. Problem is, they're fuckin MEAN. My dad tried to help one that had a broken wing. My dad put a straight piece of wood on the wing and tried to gently tie it so the wing would heal back correctly, and the huge owl ended up grabbing my Dad on the side of his stomach with his feet and claws. It pierced my dad's skin of course and he got lucky as the owl could have ripped my dad's intestines out and / or damaged my dad's organs.
      All because my dad wanted to "help him". Yes it was a wild ass adult owl, and yes my dad had a "few beers" at the time 😂 but at the end of the day, they're WILD.

      Lookie is not wearing a chain, she’s wearing jesses and a cord. It’s just like a leash for dogs, and is used for the safety of both the owl and the human.
      Owls and other birds of prey only fly when they’re hunting. When they’re not hungry, they’ll roost in the same position for hours on end. It’s not cruel.

      Birds can be domesticated. I mean it doesn't mean we have to keep all owls as pets. They are wild animals but what he or she is trying to say is that some owls think that its beneficial for them to live with humans cause there is a better chance of survival for them. Kind of like co existing with bees and flowers.

      Isaiah Jimenez I would just like to throw my 2 cents in and say that owls have been kept at pets since like 2000 B.C. to help with hunting scouting or just as a pet. And you need to understand that animals don’t have the same mindset as human beings some animals like dogs have a natural love to serve. It’s very hard to explain how it works but I recommend reading up on it as it is very interesting.

      I used to have a pet owl that I rescued from near death. He made a lovely pet, but I kept him in a large enclosure outdoors, with trees and plants and a mini waterfall in there, so it was like he was in the wild. So you can have a pet owl, but keep it right... not like this woman who is basically chaining it up all day to one perch in her house.

      ボイス You comment proved my point further with the fact that you and many people don’t care. Blaming the fact that humans have used animals for a very long time doesnt normalize or make it better. It’s stupid and wrong. Maybe don’t use how stupid humans were back then as an excuse to be equally as stupid now. I do believe that animals should be rescued but not BRED and showed off for UA-cam videos. If people stopped breeding animals, there would be no more needing to be rescued (unless found in the wild injured) But I guess causing a problem and using the solution of your own created problems is excuse enough to parade around animals like cool little trophies. Now please piss off you ragey little child.

    A more ethical method would be to build a small aviary for it to live in, and only put the anklets on if you take them outside so they don’t get lost. That way, there’s more freedom of movement.
    Either way, owning an owl definitely seems to be for an outdoor-oriented person.

      When doing recalls, if the bird does not respond, avoid coming closer. Stop and allow the owl time to think things over a bit. Try again. By coming closer, you inadvertently train it to wait until you are closer, therefore not having to fly as far. Recall weight should be with instantaneous results. Increase distance, not decrease. This is how reliable consistency Is achieved. Weight management is vital. Also consider a single cue, such as it's name, or the glove tap, or clicker or whistle. Using multiple cues does work, but each time has to be identical. Calling and tapping should always be consistent, not one without the other. This only sends multiple messages that confuse the own.
      Not being critical in a negative way. Constructive offers to help you along. Love your english capabilities and adoring accent. No apologies ever needed. And ignore the comments by those who have no comprehension of Raptors and who assume their misconceptions to be truths. Remember.... The most dangerous people are not those who are ill informed, but those who are wrong and truly believe their ignorance is right.

    @rhysgarner8677 3 роки тому +92

    To all those pointing out this owl should be free. Birds of prey that come into the ownership of humans are often bred in captivity and have no point of reference for the wild.
    For example, my father has two saker falcons, both born in captivity. Both of them are healthy, and he does take them out for flights. But as a direct consequence of having to be hand raised, they would not do well in the wild.
    You don’t know the circumstances so you have no point of reference for your judgement. For the record, the anklets are lightweight, they are not shackles and they do not restrict movement or cause harm. The leather straps are used for handling and are removed when the animal is placed in its enclosure. Falconry is something that has been practiced for many centuries and like all animals are subject to laws that prevent cruel ownership.

      windstennotsukai Their captivity dates back a few generations, and given they live for 15-20 years, that’s several decades. Should they be in captivity? No. Are they? Yes. And because they’ve been put into captivity, it’s now our responsibility to ensure they live. It’s why my father takes them out for flights. It’s not the wild, but we make it as close as we can.
      If you have a problem, take it up with our ancestors for coming up with the practice in the first place. It happened. It’s here. Get over it.

Are they? Of course not! Yes, they're both high maintenance but if you can deliver both parties are happy. Owls, on the other hand, are not the sharpest pair of battle claws in the cupboard. Don't get me wrong, they're brilliant hunters, but as far as brains and intelligence, they don't win the vole. As long as they're properly cared for and happy, it's the same as keeping any other animal.

      SIESIE CHAMPION prisoners are at the extreme. They did bad stuff, so they are contained as punishment. They don’t get the level of affection that this owl does

      @@dandan6778 lol so your not fine with birds being locked up in a cage, but... your ok with lizards being taken out of their habitat to be put in a terrarium, where they get only virtual sunlight and nowhere to explore and hunt their food. i agree on the part were you said the don't move and shit lol, i own two white tree fogs and they just sit in their log, but my terrarium is bigger than the recommended size so they are fine.

    I thought vegans cared about animals enough to not keep a bird of prey in captivity. The hiprocrisy is almost unbelievable. Almost.

    It is illegal to keep owls without special permits in most countries.
    The United States does not allow private individuals to keep native owls
    as pets--they may only be possessed by trained, licensed individuals
    while being rehabilitated, as foster parents in a rehabilitation
    facility, as part of a breeding program or for educational purposes. Ten
    other reasons why you wouldn't want an owl for a pet:

      They can’t survive in the wild since they were bred and is use to captivity. You would be sending them to death because they expect food to be handed to them because they are so use to it and they don’t know how to hunt. So you can’t just let them go
