    "Like throwing a paper bag in the breeze when he tries to fly" is possibly the most savage burn I've ever heard applied to a bird of prey. Poor guy. :D

    Topic Idea - "Bird Body Language" - you talk about how you an tell their mental state by their physical state... Other signs such as health or illness. Its always a joy to see how you understand and care for your birds - From birth and through life. You're a wonderful "bird mom" :)

      I don't think you'd get much about their health from body language. They'd rather try to conceal illnesses.
      However it can be helpful to know attitudes or behaviors that can be telling on the bird's mood.

    Very pretty owl. I love the stare that he gives without blinking... very intense!
    Too bad to hear that his clutch really didn't survive, but he did and he is beautiful! Funny that he loves to fly to you and be with you.
