Owls are not pets!

Ever since I saw the Harry Potter movies I always dreamed of owning my very own Hedwig. This little owl hangs from the Christmas lights on my desk. He hangs right in front of my writing books and over my mini alter.
This little guy doesn’t have a name right now, but my youngest niece was thinking of giving him one. I would love to have a real owl, but I don’t think I would be able to care for it correctly and it’s also illegal to own them as pets in some places.

Here in the USA to own an owl as a pet is against the law unless you have a special license. Owls prefer to be in secluded places and due to their size if you were to own one you would need to build a huge flight cage. They need a lot of space to spread their wings and to fly around. They can get up to 6 feet with a 6 ft wingspan… that my Friends is BIG! 
Their talons are razor sharp and you could get some pretty deep cuts from those babies. As everyone knows they are extremely noisy at night.. especially at night. Not all owls hoot, some screech and a few can let out blood chilling screams! No one needs those screams at night.. imagine sleeping and waking up to that scream.. AAKKK!

I think I’ll stick with this little guy and my stuffed Hedwig owl. Quieter this way!
