EAGLEOWL

hi these are found throughtout europe scandanavia russia even the middle east.

im sure someone would notice these birds espeacily if there out walking the dog and theres not the food to sustain them,or even given plenty of food to keep them going they will breed very easily , its like saying ho well ive bred some extra pigeons i will drive fifty miles and lose them.or sending them untrained to a race saying well im not bothered if i lose them, the eagle owls call can be herd for miles booooohhhhhhhhhhhhhooooooooooo

the trouble with the eagle owl as i pointed out they are very dangerous most sanctuarys do not want them,there to much trouble not many people feel happy looking after them and then theres always the cost of looking after them vets fees etc. the trouble is ita a offence to release any captive bred bird into the wild without a permit and getting a permitt is like getting to national winners in one nest .

harky mostly are trained by myself and rehomed sadly some are humainly destroyed by a vet, the trouble is same as some pigeon fanciers the breed them and sell them for pennies to uneducated people making a quick buck. to look after eagle owls is a long comitment as these can live twenty years or more some have been reported to live untill sixty years in captivity . the film harry potter saw the rise in sales of many captive bred owls ,which sadly became neglected injured and sadly destroyed

roland all im saying having had eagle owls for years is there very dangerous to the uneducated person ,i have studied them owned them and not matter how long you have a eagle owl you cannot trust them 100%. the times i have been asked by people to remove a eagle owl from some idiots shed because it as attacked them is unreal ,bloody harry potter every one became a owl expert over night , imagine a child trying to pick up a injured eagle owl or trying to stroke one ,they wouldnt stand a chance ,a eagle owl is not affraid of humans ,yes they will live in highly populated areas if theres food, having had birds of prey for over twenty years i wouldnt class myself as a expert same as racing pigeons for over thirty years i wouldnt say i was a expert,and i certainly wouldnt fly my hawks in a park where they possibly could come across people walking dogs

hi again firstly i am certainly no member of the rspb secondly i have flown pigeons for thirty years. having had pigeons all my life ,i live breath sleep pigeons , yes as for harris hawks attacking dogs yes i also have two who dislike dogs and will attack dogs . please dont make assumptions that im a rspb you couldnt be more from the truth .yes i love all birds but i do not agree with their policy about many things same as im not a great lover of the rspca, but for people to say eagle owls will not do you any damage is living on a cloud.and for the person who mentioned the eagle owl fox hunting what they maybe do not know is the idiot with the eagle owl fox hunting let the owl go only to be pulled to bits by the pack of dogs real clever that was. all im saying is for people to say lets let eagle owls go into the wild is in my opinion stupid ,once a eagle owl locks on it will not let go. and as for racing pigeons yes im not like most i only race eight w-hood cocks and onlybreed twenty young birds a season .and believe me i look after my pigeons as any fellow club member of mine will tell you ,

I FIND IT VERY INTRESTING ABOUT PEOPLE SUGGESTING TO LET EAGLE OWLS GO FREE , SADLY THE WRONG THING TO DO ,THESE BIRDS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN ,THESE WILL ATTACK ANYBODY GIVEN THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES ,NESTING NEEDING FOOD THEY WILL ATTACK ANY OLD LADY/MAN WALKING A DOG IF THEY NEED FOOD, PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THE EAGLE OWLS IN THE PROGRAMME WHERE OF FOREIGN BIRDS .THESE BIRDS WHERE CAPTIVE BRED RELEASED BIRDS WHICH THE POST-MORTEM SHOWED .I AGREE I FIND IT VERY SAD THAT SOME IDIOT SHOT THE FEMALE ,HAVING PERSONALLY STUDIED THESE BIRDS FOR YEARS HAVING BEEN THE KEEPER OF EAGLE OWLS FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS ,I CAN ASSURE YOU ,YOU WOULDNT WANT ONE OF THESE SAT ON YOUR PIGEON LOFT.OR FLYING AT YOU TO ATTACK YOUR DOG MY LOFT ALSO COMES UNDER ATTACK FROM SPARROWHAWKS ON A REGULAR BASIS ,IVE TRIED USING MY EAGLE OWL SAT IN MY GARDEN WHILST EXERCISING MY PIGEONS ,YES THE SPARROWHAWK SEES THE EAGLE OWL BUT DOES NOT DETERE THE SPARROWHAWK KILLING OTHER BIRDS LIKE SPARROWS STARLINGS ETC. YES THE POPULATION IN BRITAIN IS GETTING MORE EAGLE OWLS OUT THERE ,BUT THESE ARE NOT VISITING BRITAIN THERE RELEASED BY IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE WHO NORMALLY BUY THEIR KIDS ONE AND DONT REALISE THEY HAVE GOT A KILLING MACHINE ON THEIR HANDS UNTILL ITS TO LATE THEN THEY THINK I KNOW LETS RELEASE IT CAUSING CHAOS . 8)
