I was leaving my housing estate last night and noticed the owl on wall so took few pics quality was shite so turned lights towards him he was just calling not budging I got out slowly walking towards him taken pictures then I twigged the Jessie's on him and knew he was a pet .i climbed the wall about six feet away beside him slowly arsing myself side ways towards him I made an attempt and he tried bite but not fly away so slipped of my jumper wrapped it around my arm and slowly moving then a quick hold of the Jessie's ... bird in the hand put in car .got some better pics and lad invited me to come with my girls to see all his birds of prey Happy ending 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JUST A WORD OF WARNING . Every bop should have a ring unless its been nested fd...... Only a fool would keep one without it, someone last a lanner/saker falcon by us few weeks ago,it was inside a unit after the pigeons lad owns the factory's gave my uncle a ring(flies them for a living, does millennium stadium,couple of airports, st davids shopping centre etc ) he went up managed to get it to come to the glove, checked the ring and found the owner, very happy man, bird had telemetry on it but was to far away from where it went missing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
