@MrRelhed i absolutely love this bird, what a magnificent creature, youve really got something special with Blizzard, im glad to see somebody else cares the same way i do, has blizzard ever broken skin with his talons before?
@nick5448 Yes has ! It was never a problem untill checkup day. We bring the animals in periodically for routine checkups which a lot of the time requires putting them under . To make things easier,we wrap the bird in a towel(most of the time this has a calming effect)find a leg and give the shot.Apparently Blizzard HATES this :/ I came into the flight with the towel (Blizzard see's towel and knows what's goin down)I have him step up on my arm and then throw the towel on-I bled that day
He is such a beautiful bird, he really is. I'm so glad that your train your owls with love and patience, a lot of people yell and reel away which causes the owl to bite more, so they get even angrier. It's so nice to know there are genuinely patient people like yourself taking such wondrous care of such majestic animals. For that, and animal lovers everywhere, I say thank you.
@Mzlittlehell Blizzrd's doing great ! A lot has changed in the past weeks since these videos - has become very "cuddly" and waits for my arrival . Since he is not my only responibility and it gets dark now at 4:30 , it's been hard to get much video time in . I will have more soon
I real love this..never seen one live is sooo cute pretty & FATTY...wish i could play and pet them in day time & in night take him in my bed HUG and kiss him till he falls sleep ohh sooo cute ,eyes soo pretty <3 <3 <3
Can you feel anything at all on your forearm ? I mean, getting scratched by harfangs every day must really ruin most of your sensitivity on this area, I guess ?
@ScorieDivine Normally I would wear a glove if doing alot of hand work , it's just too hard to manipulate a camera with those big bulky things . For the most part , Blizzard is very gentile and because he is non releaseable and doesn't need his talons for hunting , we keep them trimmed . That being said , he can still puncture skin if he really wanted to . I have no loss of feeling in my arm but it does get a little tender at times
A group of owls is called a "Parliament" of owls, but a group of Snowy Owls is called a "Blizzard" of Snowy Owls. Appropriate, I must say. Did the gene tests for this bird come back yet?
Yeah...sharpen that beak...hehehe
