*horrific screech*
Yeah I don't want one any more

I'm sure that I'd love to own an owl, but I can't stop thinking about the restricted life of the bird. No freedom and natural life, just a domesticated bird of prey.

I wanted a pet owl but not anymore i love the bird so much that i can't tie them down.

Owls are adorable but I think the woods is the perfect habitat for them 🦉 🌳

"leather shoes", nicer way of saying shackles lol

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.

Couldn’t bring myself to own an animal that I would have to keep in shackles.

Owls are super cool, and my favorite type of bird. But they should never be pets.

[sugarsuites]

Owning an owl is no different from owning, say, a falcon or a different sort of predatory bird. It would be nice to own one but I'd imagine they require a lot of maintenance and care like parrots do.

Wow I wanted a owl but now it looks like owls shouldn’t be pets.. it just doesn’t look domesticated and it reminds me of how lions look at the zoo, dead inside

[misscoolgirl]

It’s been my dream since I was little to work with owls/own an owl. I wanted to be an “owl vet” when I was older. They are so elegant and beautiful and so unique. Snowy owls and band owls were my favourite!
