You will regret it later.


Owls are not like a domestically bred cat or a dog where it can be trained to go to the toilet, they just naturally go to the toilet full stop. Owls also need a lot of space. They eat whole animals. They live for decades. They sleep when you're awake, make noise when you're asleep, and they have beaks and talons meant to tear flesh and bite through bone.

Are you telling me that the adorable little owl above will eventually grow up and eat me?

generally predators don't make great pets. Now one could argue that cats are predators...

Just move to the Amazon. You will constantly have owls, macaws, parrots, monkeys, sloths, lizards, snakes, armadillos, toucans, etc., etc., etc. to play with. All you need is some food.

You need to amend your profile Jim.

Well, yeah, but it's easier for me to hide an owl in my home, or a lemur, or monkey, or a sloth... But when that beautiful tiger gets bigger, I think some may notice!

There's a wild cat refuge near where I live and they have the cutest baby tigers and lions on occasion.

They bring them out and let people play with them from about 1 month old to about 6 months old. After 6 months old they are strong enough to seriously hurt a full grown man. One of the guys up there told me that pound for pound they are 5 times as strong as a human and of course that doesn't even count teeth and claws.

But they are so cute when their young.


That little tiny growl was hilarious.

In a way, birds that of course descended from the Dinosaur which as it turns out was not a reptile, but an ordinary warm blooded animal, are like some humans. Some birds are so smart one may get the idea the bird is smarter than humans are at times.

The Crow for instance is very intelligent. Parrots may also be very intelligent. As to your Owl, I am not saying it is, but if you want to keep an Owl, it might be smarter than you are. LOL:cheers2:

Some of my in-laws have a single name for all those: Almoço AKA Lunch.

I got a hoot owl you can have, but you're on your own when it comes to catching him.

Honestly, I really only want one "wild animal". Before I croak, I WILL own a monkey, likely a capuchin monkey, since they are reasonably priced and can fit into home environments better than others.

Look at just how smart they are:

It's all fun and games until they rip your hands off and eat them.

Got any shelters near you, just go volunteer at one, you can just feed the babies then go home and not have to fuck with them when they get big and un cute lol

[gabosaurus]

Hey Jim, I have a question for you:

How many boobies do you think you will get if your home is filled with owl or money shit?

:slap:

I thought of that. You need to get one VERY young and train it and raise it with a lot of care. Even then there are no guarantees. I would take a chance with a smaller monkey, and if it started showing aggression, have it looked at and taken away if it came to that.

I would take the Fennec, that baby fox, in an instant!

I'm sure I'm TOO trusting of some wildlife, but generally only the cute animals! :) At least I don't like spiders. Now that's insane, people that want to actually pay money to own those little fuckers.

No less than I get now? Me and my little monkey friend can find porn on the 'net together. And no, he's my friend, I would not spank him! :coffee:

what about people who actually collect snakes? I think they might have brain damage.

Snakes don't bother me. I just don't like feeding them live mice or rats, so I don't own any. But they don't scare me like spiders do.

snakes freak me the fuck out.

the only spiders I don't like are those ones that carry all their babies around on their back, like hundreds at a time. Gross.
