Meeting real owls

These are so many people who are obsessed with owls. They have clothes with owls, their home is full of owl  statuetes. But not all of them have actually had a chance to meet one really close up and to hold or just stroke it. They are so soft and lovely,  but to be honest, I was a little bit scared at first.

Believe me , you don't want one as a pet, unless you are ready to get a new freezer full of frozen (and sadly cute) baby chicks... Because that's what they eat. It is really hard to to properly care for an owl as a pet.

I personally fell in love with owls because of the “Harry Potter” but J.K. Rowling said in one of the interviews very smart thing - “If anybody has been influenced by my books to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house, I would like to take this opportunity to say as forcefully as I can: You are wrong. The owls in Harry Potter books were never intended to portray the true behaviour or preference of real owls. If your owl-mania seeks concrete expression, why not sponsor an owl at a bird sanctuary where you can visit and know that you have secured him or her a happy, healthy life.”

So yeah, they are cute, funny, majestic, smart and beautiful animals but not good pets.
