Ha haha, no not at all.
Currently she is sat on our bedroom door and is very peaceful. She has just woken up and is giving wifey the look that says cuddle time.
When we had her checked out by the vet for her wing, he could not believe how gentle she is or how placid her nature. He was all gloved up expecting to be pecked and bitten and what she did was jump on his hand from the carry box and wait to be tickled behind the ear.
The most noise she makes is when she is really hungry and then she give one sharp call. The rest of the time it is small twitters which are unbelievably sweet. We do get the occasional wiffle when she is grooming too.
Having seen how other Barn Owls are even with trusted owners, I have come to the conclusion that we are so lucky with out little girl. She is beautiful, gentle and when sits on her perch while we work on the bikes, all of our neighbours stop to say hello to her.
When it is breeding season, she will be very possessive over wifey!
Oh, she has gone back to sleep again, she sleeps more than the cat and both of them are currently fast asleep in our bedroom! Wifey wont let me buy the pets a pea green boat and set them off together in the Bristol channel!
