Necessary care for home breeding owls
The first issue you should pay attention to is when living in the aviary, as raising an owl requires space for it to fly freely.
Catching an owl to be cloistered is not an option!
The nursery should be a quiet place, not too hot and not too bright. However, breeding also requires perches and proximity to their natural habitat.
The other step is the feeding step, which represents the health issue of the owl. For this, pay attention to the bird's diet.
For those who don't know, owls feed on smaller animals, so you'll have to have preserved dead animals at home.
Finally, it is important to know that manual contact with the owl needs to be calm and gradual, requiring the help of a professional.
You have to be careful with these animals that can hurt you with their sharp claws and beaks.
