Still Waters Posted November 22, 2012 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2012 A row has broken out between neighbours over an owl that started making regular visits to one family's lounge. The massive Eurasian eagle owl, nicknamed ‘Eyeballs’ by locals, was captured last Wednesday by owl experts after residents said they lived in fear, claiming the bird of prey had attacked people and pets in the small rural town of Northam, Devon. But the man whose house Eyeballs visited disagreed with the capture, involving the police as he questioned the legality of the bird's capture, saying it was just being friendly and playful. http://www.dailymail...lys-lounge.html Beautiful bird! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashotep Posted November 22, 2012 #3 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Owls are beautiful but they are predators, they could catch a small pet but I still think they should of left it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuriousGreek Posted November 30, 2012 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Why did some people claim, that it's dangerous, if it hasn't been dangerous until now? Very beautiful bird btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ealdwita Posted November 30, 2012 #9 Share Posted November 30, 2012 If that bird's as big as the article reports, then I've a sneaking suspicion that it's a female. Also, Eagle Owls don't 'screech'. If they consider themselves to be threatened, they will hiss or growl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xYlvax Posted November 30, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Gorgeous bird. People need to learn to leave wildlife alone. It causes problems when people think they can mess with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
