Legally, Owls were adopted in England as pets. However, they are expensive to keep and require special care. While many English had adopted Owls at the time of the great fashion of "Harry Potter", they gradually begin to abandoned them, for lack of space, time, money and interest. This is a phenomenon that worries more and more nursing homes for owls.

The British refuges are now overrun by hundreds of domestic Owls abandoned by their owners. Owls and birds of this family can live up to 20 years, but tired of having to maintain cages and pick up the droppings and feathers, families have abandoned them. Because of this, hundreds of Owls were released into the wild and are often starved or abused by their wild counterparts. 

Please sign for the detention in the UK of an Owl requires an authorization and that only responsible persons can acquire Owls.

Thank you...
