OWL MY GOODNESS!

Hey guys! So I had the chance to go back to Kyoto today and guess what I did!? I went to an Owl Forrest Zoo! This zoo is located in a very famous outdoor mall in Kyoto's Shoji shopping district. The owls are very well taken care of and get many visitors everyday. 

Many of these owls live in North America, such as this Barn owl!

Here is an Eagle Owl!

There were a few rules we had to follow before they let us walk around the zoo. First, we could take pictures but we could not use flash. The flash could scare the owls. 

Western Siberian Eagle Owl

  
Second, we were allowed to pet the owls, but we could only use the back of our hands and we could only pet the owls' backs.

 Black Barn Owl

We were not allowed to touch the front of the owls because they could bite.

 Burrowing Owl

 

The Spotted Eagle Owl

 We also were not allowed to wake up sleeping owls. Like us humans, the owls might get upset if woken up.
 

The Snowy Owl

 This owl's name was Hedwig! Just like in Harry Potter, except this owl was a boy, not a girl. 

 The Indian Eagle Owl

 This owl was new, so we couldn't pet him. As he gets more used to people he'll start allowing people to pet his back.

I'm not sure what type of owl this one was, but he was the biggest! And my favorite!

 

Here is a video I made of some of the Owls! I hope you enjoy!
