Yes, I’ve been too busy to write much this week. And here’s the reason why:
This is Alex, aka Owlex. A four-week-old Barn Owl that we got from the Avian Conservation Center near Charleston, SC. My husband is a falconer, so he knows quite a bit about birds of prey, but this is his first owl. So far, Alex is eating well, taking small bites of mice from the Falconer’s hand. And he sleeps a lot (the owl, not my husband). It was easy to fall in love with this little guy.
Maybe one day, Alex will look like this:
I love owls. What an adorable little face. I hope he does well in your care. 🙂
Thank you! So far so good! He’s taking food from our hands and even self-fed once today. I’ll post more pictures as he grows. Thanks for reading.
