MALE & FEMALE BARN OWLS CLOSE RINGED WITH A10's FED ON
MALE & FEMALE BARN OWLS CLOSE RINGED WITH A10's FED ON A TOP QUALITY DIET I CAME ACROSS THIS UNFORTUNATE 'PAIR' WHILST LOOKING FOR A BREEDING PAIR OR FEMALE. THEY WERE ADVERTISED AS A 'PAIR' AND HAVE BONDED AND BRED EARLIER THIS YEAR. ON LOOKING AT THEIR A10 CERTIFICATES IT IS APPARENT THAT THEY ARE BROTHER/SISTER. I PURCHASED THEM TO PREVENT ANYMORE INBREEDING FROM THEM. I HAVE KEPT THEM FOR A WHILE TO KEEP CHECK ON THEIR OVERALL HEALTH BEFORE RELEASING THEM FOR SALE TO THEIR FOREVER HOME. I HAVE WITH PATIENCE MANAGED TO FEED THEM ON MY FIST THOUGH THEY WOULD BE OF BETTER USE AS BREEDING BIRDS THOUGH NOT TOGETHER AS A TRUE PAIR. WHY AM I ASKING £140 WHEN OTHERS ARE FOR SALE AT LESS? THEY ARE FED ON A QUALITY MIXED DIET AND NOT SOLELY DAY OLD CHICKS LIKE A GOOD MANY DO. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BUY FROM ELSE WHERE ADVERTISING 'EXCELLENT QUALITY MIXED DIET' ASK TO SEE THE FOOD THEY HAVE BEEN EATING. ANYONE WITH THE WELFARE OF THE BIRD WILL NOT MIND. WE WOULDN'T BE HEALTHY IF WE ONLY ATE ONE FOOD, WE MIGHT SURVIVE BUT WOULDN'T BE HEALTHY. MINE DO GET LOTS OF DAY OLD CHICKS BUT THEY ALSO HAVE QUAIL, CHICKEN, PHEASANT, MOUSE, RAT, MULTIMAMMATE (A SOFT FURRED RAT), HAMSTER (THE CLOSEST THING GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO VOLES WHICH THEY HUNT IN THE WILD) & RABBIT. THIS COSTS CONSIDERABLY MORE THAN JUST D.O.C. BUT THE HEALTH BENEFITS ARE OBVIOUS. I WOULD PREFER AN EXPERIENCED PERSON TO TAKE THEM ON BUT A NOVICE WITH A SUITABLE MENTOR MIGHT BE ACCEPTABLE SUBJECT TO SATISFACTORILY ANSWERING MY QUERIES AND PROVING SUITABLE HOUSING. £140 EACH, COLLECTION FROM STOURBRIDGE, WEST MIDLANDS.
