Here is a video of one of our two Eurasian eagle owl chicks taking a stroll. Doesn't he look like a muppet?
The Eurasian eagle owl is one of the largest owls in the world, standing 24-28 inches tall with a wingspan in excess of 5 feet! In England, these owls were nearly hunted to extinction in the late 19th century. The oldest recorded eagle owl lived to be 68 years old. An eagle owl weighing 6.5 - 8.5 pounds can take prey as large as a roe deer weighing 28-30 pounds.

Such a cute Eagle Owl! These are actually the best ones I've ever raised! Even though I taught George and Bessy to play fetch, they weren't nearly as loveable as those two!
LOL!! He does look JUST like a muppet!
