  • We built a house using our bare hands for our adopted rescue European Eagle Owl, called Sherlock. We want to give him a safe, secure, and natural home to live out his years in captivity. Find out why we can't release him into the wild, whether we'll get him a mate, and why we offered him a safe place to live.

    But it has just started to heal and I can walk, without my stick, {but it's better with the stick !}.
    Got my Eagle eye on you two from now on !
    I would love to see more rambling in the forest !

    What do you feed Sherlock on and how often? Are you planning on to have a vegetable/flower garden?

    • @FoxesAfloat
      @FoxesAfloat  9 месяцев назад +3

      1. Chicks, mice, voles, rats, quail.
      2. Every day.
      3. No. The deer will eat them. Before you ask, to protect the veg would make it inefficient ;)

    Cor blimey! I can't even hang a picture without it being a disaster! My only Owl story is once I was driving home along a back lane when I used to live in a more rural village than where I live now, and something in a tree to the right of me caught my eye. I slowed and opened my window to look! Three wise owls were looking back at me, perhaps more startled than I was to see them! It was one of those magic moments in life, absolutely beautiful to see! ( I have just heard the bit about owls being solitary! With my hand on my heart, three owls were on a couple of branches, just looking back at me! Maybe it was mating season, I do not know!)

    A beautiful creature and great to know you’re doing the very best for him in the circumstances - real dedication.

Sympathise with Sean and his knees - mine are troubling me too and know how painful it is.
