Owl Facts Owl Forum Rescue Keeping Breeding Buying Hunting Owls

A bit of a slapstick topic, but it would be interesting to find out the general opinion of owlies, so does your owl love you or does your owl just depend on you?

I know my owl depends on me, hence the having to make the owl feel hunger to fly to me, however I have seen a barn owl that craves human attention, walk near the aviary and the owl is at the wire, let the owl out and it is like a missile, straight to the owner, with or without food.
At times, when my owl is fat, it will land on me and groom me, at times the owl doesn't mind being stroked, however a lot of the time the owl hates being touched, it won't foot you, but it will squeal and bite.

to be honest i dont think jester gives a stuff as long as someone feeds him

he will only respond for food (or a good chance of it) when he is hungry otherwise he is barely interested in me at all



unless it is spring of course and he wants to get his end away
