Lowther Game Fair

Hereford Owl Rescue were at the Lowther Game Fair. They will rescue captive bred owls from anywhere in the UK. The rescue centre will look after 40 owls at a time and is owned by  Baroness Sasavon Barth und Kippenruer. 

I held three of these rescued owls at the Lowther Game Fair yesterday.

Although owls have always been a popular bird, the general public are found to have very little idea of their needs in terms of feeding, handling etc. Owls featuring in recent films have led to an increase in the number of people keeping them as pets, not always with very satisfactory results. Most of the birds at the centre can never be released into the wild, as they are captive bred and would not learn to hunt for themselves.
