Aw, poor screechie. We love you too. ❤️

Leucistic birds are very interesting. There was a leucistic goldfinch on my feeder a few years ago. They are just kind of washed out looking.

So many cool birds! Sonny is very pretty. He looks so soft!

Can confirm about Red-tailed Hawks being massive. We get one in the yard occasionally, usually eating a squirrel. Which is cool and gross at the same time.

Such beautiful coloring!

He was the biggest sweetie really. Just did not like other cats in his yard.

Haha, it was more to keep him from attacking my other cat and give her a chance to escape. He would get irrationally angry when he saw other cats out the window and take it out on her. 😕

Taxidermied animals always kinda creep me out. Some of these are very unfortunate looking. (My poor saw-whets.) That GHO diorama looks pretty nice though.

Thanks for sharing. It’s interesting that they can close off parts of the hallway to make the room smaller and smaller. It seems like it would be very tricky to catch them! The towel thing also works on cats that are agitated.

Sounds like a fun experience. Thanks for sharing all the great pictures!

Very cool. He looks tiny in that second pic!

❤️ These are great shots. So weird to see. We have oaks that look like that, but the only way there’d be a cockatoo in one is if someone’s pet escaped. It must be so cool to see a whole flock. (In the US)

I never thought about this! So interesting to think of owls contributing to the fossil record (ish) through pellets.

This would be really nice. ❤️

I loved reading about Flaco this past year. There were so many great pictures of an owl in the big city. 🦉 🌃

Aw, one of each. ❤️

Awesome, I look forward to the answer!

Thanks for posting the video. It’s nice to see one in action. Poor owl’s like “stop walking back and forth! I’m trying to relax!” How do they catch it when they need to put the owl back in its enclosure?

Yay! “He flew away so fast that we weren’t able to get it on video” 😂Always good to hear the success stories.

🥰

Agreed. His story was inspiring and it is not the end I would wish for any bird. Sadly, too many die in this way.
