LOOK WHAT I GOT and MORE OWLS

Look what David bought me....a little hand carved wooden owl which now sits on the mantle piece.


More photos of the owls at Erddig..Heres Anna holding a beautiful Barn Owl.. I held him too but no one thought to get a picture!!!!! It was so soft and was posed wonderfully for the photos:) the Tawny owl that Teghan is holding was really sleeping...:) Sorcha (in the background with the glasses) got to hold one of the larger owls... We had such a great time...

  2. Yes, what Daydreamer said!! :)
    I love the front-on close-up of the barn owl. Was he sleepy - they're nocturnal, aren't they?

  3. The barn owl was very sleepy and they are mostly nocturnal. He was still very happy having all the attention from the children X Julie

  4. Beautiful owls! Ive held a variety of owls and think they are amazing. I ran a beaver scout group and one week we had a man that does shows and events visit with about 3 types. Rea;;y clever how well they were trained and how good they were with so many excited children.
    He did say when owls are in captivity they have no need to be nocturnal and it depends on the handler if they are or not. His owls were up and busy all day. I wonder how birds sleep, lol.
