I have a m8 who had an Eagle owl it was massive. I walked into his house one night and was just talking and gesturing and so on explaining something.

 

I wondered what the strange look on my mate his wife and kids faces was all about. Thinking i had a pie on top of my head or something. I was just buzy talkin and then suddenly there it was only 3-4 feet away from me on the dining table.

 

Very near crapped masel. It was only when it moved i noticed it with its great big googly eyes like saucers. It was actually hissing at me it was raring to go. They were all laughing at me as i looked for a quick exit.

 

The feet on it and that beak on it would do some damage. Percy could not even face up to it, its absolutly brutal there would only be one winner every time.

There was a thread on here a few years back following a TV Program about a pair that nested successfully on the Yorkshire Moors. It was known back then that there were other pairs breeding in the wild, including Scotland. At least this TV presenter had either the presence of mind or prior knowledge of the previous pair to keep this location secret. The earlier program not only identified the location but a certain dumpling interviewed on it put it out that these birds were an alien species and therefore not protected under the legislation protecting wild birds at that time, and could be shot. That was retracted in a later re-run of the TV program but didn't stop a real low-life shooting the hen with a shotgun. 'Rambo' was a real macho sharpshooter - he left the bird still alive but unable to fly and hunt, with the result she died not of gunshot wounds but of starvation.

 

So would recommend if you've seen them in the wild, keep what you know to yourself.

Nature always looks to achieve its own balance, that is the reason it is so difficult to breed a champion. By definition, a champion is the exception to the rule. Nature attempts to produce an even (mediocrity) state.

Man's interference by unnaturally supporting peregrines has caused an abundance of them, however in an attempt to achieve balance, nature has encouraged one of their predators to emigrate from its main bases in Europe back across the sea to the UK.

Certainly on this occasion more strength to nature.

 

Hopefully while it is working on this balance it will miss me out and let me breed a champion.

Maybe some orginisations should do a bit of reintroducing of the owl by finding the cost of pairs and releasing into the wild ,help nature in our own way .

It is, I think its because they are not very easy to control so not easy to hunt with.
