Visited a wildlife park on the weekend and saw this beauty. Sorry for the quality - it decided to stay in the back of its enclosure and I cut the pic to exclude the rest of its dinner.

    I heard our new Screech Owl was out at an event yesterday, but we were getting the remains of a big storm, so I passed on that. If he’s our owl, I want to be holding him, not just looking at him anyway! 😁

    I am thrilled you got such a great experience!

      I hope the opportunity to interact with and hold your new Screech comes up soon!

      And for us some nice pictures?

        Absolutely!

        I was hoping to have gotten the chance for our Halloween event, but I sadly had conflicting plans. I was heartbroken, but it is something important to my lifelong best friend, so despite the opportunity of owl touching, I couldn’t screw him over like that.

        Next time I will hold you, Lint! 😥

          Friendships are important and it’s a sign of tremendous strength to resist the charms of a cute owl! I’m sure you’ll spend valuable time with your friend.

          You’ll get your chance with Lint!

            The devil on my shoulder tried its hardest to tempt me, but when someone puts up with you for 40 years, you eventually owe them a little bit! 😇
