    I don’t know owl body language, but if it’s anything like cat body language, you’re going to need kevlar gloves to interact with this fella

      You have inferred correctly!

      Just yesterday I saw a new rehabber’s “initiation” photo, where she had a large bandage on her cheek from getting her first beak slash.

      This is what you get when you ignore the initial beak-clicking warning.

      It’s behavior the caregivers ultimately want to see though, as it shows the owl is sticking with its instincts to be wary of people, so it is a good sign overall. Just as you said, watch your limbs!
