Bobo is an European Eagle Owl and was captured Oct 2006 as he had been living in the wild for 18 months .Someone had decided that they couldn't keep him any longer and let him go, he made contact with some captive EEO and the owner started feeding him as he had adopted their garden.But after 18 months he got possessive and finally it ended with him attacking the postlady.A few days later he was captured and after trying to find his previous owner he was adopted by us.We are going to try to re-train him to do displays but if he doesn't get on then we will try to find him a nice retirement home.Watch this space. (to see photos of him in the wild www.the-weatherings.co.uk/Birds1.html see Yowl).
