jason dont worry mate you have done a great job with the birds and pjc i can only count bout 5 people who say dont race them so wheres the many that you have seen
Sadly, these owls are being used as status symbols, as seen here, http://www.norfolkfalconry.co.uk/owlforum/food-for-rehabers--t188.htmloften the reason for lost birds of prey is inexperience though not always.
thats what my reply was too
so if you know a fair bit about birds of prey you would also know that its illegal to release them in to,,the wild plus if you did , the birds probably wouldnt survive anyway.
give your heads a shake lads do you know the first thing about breeding birds of prey ? do you know the law regards to letting them go ? and eagle owls are poerfull birds what you gunna do if the birds you release start attcking peoples pet cats dogs if they carnt find any food
sorry mate but why the hell you got a baby grey on kitchen paper one sure way to give it splayed legs should be in a container with paper on bottom and wood shaving covering paper
