What now? My Barred Owl experience I went inside the owl cage to give my recuperating Barred Owl his chicken thigh dinner and he startled me by suddenly flying from one side of the cage to the other right over my shoulder. The cage (kennel) was 6’x10’ about 6’ tall so a large owl with a three-foot wing span, sharp talons and a flesh-tearing beak flying over your shoulder is what I call highly stimulating. This was the first time he flew since I had rescued him from the highway several weeks earlier. |
