He is fortunate. Owls are protected here. He would not be allowed to keep them for a pet here in the states. They must have very loose laws over in the UK. Nice photos.

It isn't that I was wrong. I would have thought that would be the case. Here in the states you are not allowed to keep them as a pet and have them in the house as a pet. They are to be treated as wildlife and not domestic animals. You would not be able to keep treat them the way your friend does.
I was surprised to see them presented that way is all. It looks as though they really love their avian friends though.
Cheers,

I love the owls, my favorite. Do you have a rehab facility or do you hunt with these birds? I volunteer for the Rocky Mountain Raptor Program in Colorado and we have a great horned owl and a long owl as our educational birds.
