Care for them, breed them and sometimes use for falconry. They're not generally released into the wild, they're too vulnerable usually. Owls do...
Hm. Gut feel is Japanese but don't ask me why.
I adore owls, and buy them whatever. One of my family members runs a bird of prey sanctuary. I once saw what I thought was an owl statue in their...

That's better, many thanks. And I'm sticking with Roman. Lovely bead, I'd wear that on a thin silver chain. Or a nice silk cord.

Me too. Jeff, your beatitude for patience must surely be incoming.
