Ozzie is a home bird

Ozzie gets more handsome every day.  His feathers are beautiful, his expression alert and he still clicks and ‘talks’ to us.  He is a surprisingly large bird, perhaps because he eats so well!  Ozzie loves mealtimes and reminds us if we’re late.   It’s lovely to watch him fly and good that there is enough room in his aviary to practise swoops.   We keep leaving the door open but he doesn’t want to go!   Owls are sensitive and intelligent birds, the outside world must seem a daunting place and that is always the worry when we rear these injured birds.   We’re going to open up a window actually in the side of his aviary so that he can sit and look out and fly free whenever he feels like it.   Knowing he can get back whenever he wants will give him confidence and make all the difference.   He’ll know when it’s time to go and we don’t want to rush him.
