I had a young owl as a pet for a short time. I purchased it off a young kid in Miami I hired to help me tear down two moble homes. He told me he had a hawk for sale and we stopped at Mc Donalds on the way to his house. He opened his closet and said watch this. He held out a french fry and the owl swiped it out of his hand with his talon. It was fast. Well I paid him $75 and brought him home. I had him for two days then brought him to the Wildlife Center in Ft. Lauderdale. He ate well for the two days eating small pieces of steak that I was cutting in strips but almost immediately saw where it was coming from, flew up on the table and tried to eat a one pound piece. Funny shit him screaming at me trying to take it away and I still wear a scar on my hand where he held on with the talon trying to get some leverage or just trying to fuck me up. Out the $75 bucks but he was released back in the wild.
