He should be allowed out again to start hunting in September.
I do keep letting him out for a bit of a fly round at meal times but I can't reallly work him at the moment as while he is heavy he could decide to go walkabout.
He does hunt ...and he's pretty good at it too.. but most "tame" owls don't so the summer a time of year that gets a bit boring for them.
They are supposed to be flown everyday but it really isn't practical at this time of year so I made sure he has a large aviary to flit about in and give him other things to do like beating up plastic bags and old newspapers.
He looks a lot like an old feather duster that a cats had when he gets moving about then feathers keep flying off him when he moves, he plays with those and tries to eat them as well which is really funny because he gets them stuck in his beak and spends ages trying to get them out again....Daft bird
He has managed to keep his hunting skills in tune though and has caught and eaten four hedghogs and a couple of Rats since he went into moult.
Roll on September and a happy
