    Of course! And I don’t want anyone to feel bad or anything like that for enjoying the pics. I enjoy them too. They are super cute.

    In researching owls for you guys every day though, I also read way more unfortunate stories than I’d like, and things like this, animal cafes, circuses, private zoos, and just plain keeping wild animals as “pets” or using them as props or parts of costumes are important things to discuss, but since this group of ours is mainly for fun, I’m not sure if this is the right venue for discussing and debating these things.

    I just want to know for myself that whatever I share is both factual and that the animal is being properly cared for if it’s captive or left be if it’s wild. And all you guys really seem to care about them as well, so I want you all to be able to make informed decisions as well.

    So again, no issues with anyone enjoying the pics of this owl, but I think it’s important everyone knows this is a real owl entrusted to a person’s care.
