SillyBeak

I was not planning on being there this evening but was so glad I was. Being that my video camera is actually a Fuji fine pix digital camera (on the video setting) all my vids are shot blindly , so I missed the really cool part where he was on my arm and cuddled against my chest - will have tripod tomorrow---- The game is not quite as "stiff" looking when the camera is out of sight , he actually likes it but hates the camera

@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?

[MrRelhed]

@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

Love your vids, how is Blizzard now? :)

[MrRelhed]

@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

Thanks !

@zebnat It's all fun and games ... until they eat your face :)

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.

Snowy owls are my favourite

[metziih]

I would dare to say that owls are flying cats.

[EchoArchAngel]

When it's a silly beak, it's not a scary beak!
