I know you’re probably waiting for some news about baby owl so I will not make you wait any longer. The thing is, I read about owls as pets and turns out that the two words just don’t go together. Owls do not make good pets and don’t want to, they violently oppose domestication and one should never try to keep them as pets. It’s just not right. I also read that no matter how nice you are to owls and no matter how long you keep them they will always want to get away and will never become friendly. They dislike us as babies and when they’re older they dislike us even more. Actually baby owl always hisses at me and spreads her wings and clicks her beak… that’s a fact. Another interesting thing that I read is that if one finds an injured owl (much like baby owl) then it’s suffering from a shock and will not defend itself, which is exactly what happened when I got baby owl. She was very passive and I even had to shove bits of meat down her throat to feed her, at the time I thought I was being Mama Bird and I liked it. The next day she sort of sobered up and started biting the meat bits off the toothpick in a very aggressive manner. I liked that too but by comparison it proved to me that she was traumatized at first.

So that same night after the reading that I did,baby owl again proved the things I read to be correct. She kept banging herself against the bars of the cage (it’s a big cage) until she bled. Her blood spattered all over the place, it was a mess to wake up to in the morning. I decided to let her go,afterall that’s what’s recommended. I put the cage outside with the door open so as to let her fly away when she feels like it. She disappeared for 5 hours but returned by midday. Needless to say, I still feed her and take care of her wound…I really want her to stay but I have to let nature take its course.

Life has been absolutely crazy lately. I am so jammed and I don’t even know where to begin sorting things out! I got a visa yesterday and I will be leaving to the states on Monday…if all goes well. It just happened so fast and I am so stressed out… I’ve been having this terrible headache these past couple of days and it just blocks everything in..I can’t even think straight. I still have an exam to go and I haven’t started studying for it yet, it’s tomorrow. God! tomorrow is such a crammed day!!!

Oh and I liked being called ma’am. It’s so cute. I’m off now.
