Screech owls of Wye island, Md. While monitoring Wood Ducks in the mid-Atlantic area I came across a mother Screech Owl with eggs. I stopped by every several days and took pictures.

Watch the predators team analyse the keen sense of hearing and ideal hunting body shape of the owl. Their satellite-shaped head means that the penalty for rustling is almost always death. Watch some of the most amazing animals on the planet with BBC Worldwide.

Dear Animal lovers/ curious individuals
Hope you are all good and having a great week.
May I start buy saying 3 very important things…
If they are not legal wherever you are,
don’t persist in getting one because.
1- Its illegal for a reason, to keep safe future species.
2- One caught from the wild is hardly happy captive,
And will probably die of sadness
3- One caught from the wild will be wild,
Not docile like mine (captive born by many generations.)
It’s a barn owl, Called precious.
It’s around 4 months old,
and I got it when it was round 20/25 days old.
I call it:it, coz were not sure if it’s male or female.
I’m feeding it chicken chicks,
and I will eventually feed it mice too.
(No I don’t breed or catch the food
I simply buy them frozen)
In Malta (an island in Europe were I live at)
It is now legal to keep and/or breed barn owls.
So I got it buy buying it from a breeder.
It’s totally legal because:
Unfortunately there are no Maltese barn owls
left in the wild, They want us to adopt owls
and increase there population at least in captivity
So as not to loose the Maltese blood line.
Eventually there should be a program for re-introducing
Owls back in Malta’s wild life.
Using the chicks or gran-chicks 
of captive born such as mine.
It is a great pet, but it seeks allot of attention.
So make sure you’re willing to spend lots
of time with it, if you’re thinking of getting one.
It’s mostly active early morning and evenings,
but it sleeps at night and takes naps during the day.
Oh and there are no problems between it
and my other animals at all! Never bit anyone either.
We let it fly round the house most times.
It gets depressed if we put he in the change.
So we got her a stand.
TV or radio is on where not around.
You can’t really potty train an owl.
But a wet cloth cleans it easy.
To me it worth all the trouble!! Love my Precious!
