Description
Visitors to the garden centre today. There were three barn owls altogether but the other two were sleepy.
This little fella was very interested in its surroundings.
I heard the person in charge telling someone he had a couple of other owls & they had an outside aviary.
They were all chilled & seemed to like being stroked & well cared for.
I cannot make my mind up whether its a good idea or not. Know they have to be tethered but not keen on animals chained or tethered up but that's just me.
Thanks for all the lovely comments & favs, so, so appreciated. x

Super shot barb no what you mean about being chained I suppose its for the publics benefit what would happen I think if some idiot with a drink in them spooked them or something like that! we get them here periodically in the exchange centre in Glasgow they are very beautiful of all the owls the barn owl is my fav for sure thanx my friend!!
Great shots of these wonderful owls, but yes I do agree with the tethering thing. I wonder if they are perhaps rescue owls and not able to be released for some reason, or maybe part of a conservation breeding programme.
My lil owl is impressed! hugs and love xxxxxx
I've seen someone like this in our centre too, but they were all rescues
If they are rescue animals and can't be released, then I can understand the tethers and using them as teaching aids. Perhaps they are free in their aviary. It's sad that this happens, but good that there are people willing to care for them.
Cool, great captures!
I would imagine that they are rescues and cannot be released - great picture
I agree with you (unless there is a reason that they need to be tethered--I mean a reason that benefits the birds, not the humans; for instance, if they would not survive if released into the wild).
Great photo!
What a beautiful owl. Likely it was a rescue.
