Hope she lives long for you at 11 already. what weight is she flying at?

Just make sure she doesn't catch peoples cats, small dogs, chickens or pet rabbits or you'll have some angry folk about but I suppose the only thing you can do is go to places with no houses around to stop that happening?

This happened in my area a few months back. Some guys Eagle owl flew off and was at large for a month, it took an old ladies Pomeranian dog and at least one cat before it was caught.

Was a stunning bird but such a shame for the people who lost their pets. The owl's owner was distraught.

She is awesome! Where do you keep her? Do you need a license to keep one of those?

I love birds like that.
