Paul in North Lincs. Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 ditto........................................... I would imagine that most people in the market for a pair of these bad-boys would know what they are about. I think you may have completely mis-interpreted a very simple advert. "only people with 150 years of dealing with Raptors and Owls need apply".................... lets not be too judgmental shall we...the guy just wants to off-load a pair of owls..... BEST OF LUCK SELLING THEM BUDDY> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Fascinating. Much more interesting than the usual s200 for sale advert. Quick google: Eagle Owl. Origin: Europe. Habitat: Forests, deserts, rocky areas. esting: A hollow on a rock ledge or cave, or an old eagle nest. Facts: This eagle owl is the largest and most powerful owl in Europe, about 69 cms (27 inches) in length. It has a large beak and enormous talons but its most noticeable features are the striking orange eyes. It has prominent ear tufts which are raised or lowered depending on its mood. The plumage is mostly mottled but with bolder streaks on the breast. It takes a range of prey from insects to larger animals such as hares, and even game birds. Good luck with the sale. Pigeon killer why don't you tell us all a bit more, and fill out your profile. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 When I used to do voluntary work for the Hawk Trust many many years ago at Game Fairs I came face to face with one of these. Was staggering back to the HT Marquee drunk as a skunk. Stumbled past the table selling books and there it was sitting on its perch the size of a small car and looking as though it could rip me apart. On it's perch it was prettu much eye to eye with me. Needless to say the others all had a good laugh at my slight look of surprise! Beautiful. /Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulus Posted July 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Dont know how to fill me profile in. as for the owls well, they have never been flown as far as im aware. they bred last season the last young male was sold to the master of the quorn hunt. i have not let them breed this season. they can be aggresive but soon learn to recognise you and settle down. They have been fed on rabbit and squirrel since ive had them. They dont make much noise. ho and ive got a fox trying to get into the pen at the minute after the rabbit bits in there. dont know whot else to say.
