lisaroo2 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ...owls? I'm a wanna be falconer who has wanted to have an owl for YEARS!! When we bought our house last year it was because the garden would be big enough to house said feathery friend. People are now saying though that of late my passion is turning into an obsession. Maybe the owl handbag, having one has a 'bouquet for our recent wedding, and the frantic searching of the net for a mentor are giveaways? I don't think its an obsession, just an interest. What do you think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Mom loves owls, but I don't think they'd mix well with the chickens Where abouts are you in the country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Apparently my dad had a pet owl when he was young! Owls are lovely they are such beauties we went to a country fair today and they had a man there who rescues owls with some of his birds, they were lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think there are worse obsessions to have I''ve always wanted to try falconry too. although not necessarily own the birds. It's on the list of things to do before I die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisaroo2 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 Went out shopping yesterday and saw some more owlie goodies which just hooted to me to buy them. Will have to sneak them into the house when OH isn't looking!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 What's wrong with that? Before I got chickens, I read up on all the chickeny things I could find and fantasised about where I'd put the Eglu, it's called forward planning in my book! Same with bees, I've been reading and thinking about it for ages before actually getting into them. Go for it, there are worse hobbies to have I'm sure.

Willow Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I''ve always wanted to try falconry too. although not necessarily own the birds. It's on the list of things to do before I die. There is great guy that does a falconry display annually at the Berkshire Argricultural lambing w/e(BCA). He does days with him over the winter, my OH is definitely booking one as soon as he opens bookings end of the summer. PM me of you want details.
