Two days after the onslaught that was
Glenda, an unexpected guest flew into my grandmother's home.
 |
| From Hogwarts? :) |
Yes, it's an owl!
The poor thing must have lost its way during the typhoon, so we decided to take care of it for the meantime. Everyone was so excited to have this feathered friend around, especially my little man. He even named it '
Hedwig', after Harry Potter's ever famous owl.

| Showing off. |
I believe this is the
Philippine Scops-Owl aka
Oriental Screech Owl, though I don't remember hearing it screech while he was here.
 |
| That stare. |
We were supposed to turn this guy over to the folks at DENR this week, but my grandmother decided to just let Hedwig leave on his own. She was worried that the poor thing might die, since we don't know exactly what to feed it with. I know owls eat mice and lizards and stuff like that, but how on earth am I supposed to give him those? Lol.
Anyway, it was nice meeting you, Hedwig. I hope you're safe and sound and happily eating wherever you are. :)
Awe, so sweet to take care of him, hope he recovers quickly!!

Ooh.. that's so sweet.. It it were me, I will bring him home too and have him treated. It is rare to see an owl. Hoping that he is safe and sound. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you're so kind to keep the owl and let it go. Some kasi once they captivated a wild animal it's hard for them to let go. Hope "Hedwig" will be safe on his way back home.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I think you can check with the vet on the diet and if it's endangered. If not, you can keep it. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Owls. What a great experience and time spent with this magnificent bird. Thanks for sharing. : )
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful owl! Happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful! I love owls :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful animal! Hope he found a safe place and all the food he needs. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a sweet face!!-- I hope he's happy where ever he ended up now.
ReplyDeleteGlad you and your family is fine after the typhoon sis. And so is Hedwig, he/she is cute pa naman.
ReplyDeletePoor thing - glad you were able to help. And yes, my kids would call it Hedwig too!

This is an unexpected guest. An owl had invaded my cousin's house through the chimney. LOL
ReplyDeleteI would totally be freaked out if something like that got in to my house.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen one up close, but i like the look of the owl.. and i believe they are good for keeping things away.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'd like to have something like this. Haha. The real thing to complete my Windwright mage look. (She looks like my fb cover: https://www.facebook.com/lizziemtg)
ReplyDeleteOMG! SO cute!!! I want to see an actual owl tooo!! Hedqig is so adorable!!! It definitely landed on the right house ;)
ReplyDeletesoooo cute...and that stern look...chillin!..I love owls and really wanna see them up close and personal like that :)
ReplyDeletePoor little guy-he must have been terrified--a typhoon and then in a cage! I am sure he is fine now that he is back where he belongs and he can find his own meals! I do think it was good that you kept him for a while until he settled down from the typhoon trauma.
ReplyDeleteohhhh huhhh! <3 ... it is so adorable.. pero oo nga, it would be diificult for it to keep when it eats lizards, and etc. hahaha
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful owl! I've never seen one up close at all! How cool!
ReplyDeleteI love owls because there is mystery behind them or that is what I think. Kodos for watching over it.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! What an experience! What did he eat while he was with you? :D
