Info

We entered a barn-like building just a few steps from the Main Animal Zone shop where we were greeted, and the first owl I noticed was little Indie, a long-eared owl perched on a branch in front of an exhibit. Barney was taking a little snooze in a small carry cage next to her. Indie is very cute and a very agreeable bird. She got on Stewart’s Wilson’s glove and prceeded to look around at us. She was raised by humans, so human interaction is normal for her and she does participate in the educational programs that WOT does. Other people were gathering in the barn to meet the owls and learn more about them. Meanwhile, Ivan and Alan were setting up pictures for us to take with the owls. We were like owl royalty! It was then after a few minutes of pictures with Barney (who had woken up) and Indie, that Ivan gave his speech and introduction of the World Owl Trust to the small group of people gathered in the barn. He also kindly mentioned that Bryan and I were there with the Owl Eye and thanked us for coming. He talked about the owls, the different species they have there at the Trust, including Cugat, the Ethiopian Eagle Owl (who was a little fiesty after falling off her perch and giving us a fright!) the Ural Owl named Ivan (and whom the human Ivan has adopted becasue of their shared name) the two Southern White Faced Owls, the Ferruginous Pygmies, and Fidget, another Barn Owl. There were many more owls there and we got the behind-the-scenes tour after the talk! After Ivan finished, the group got to get up and have Barney or Indie on the glove. As you know, I was very excited about this part, and I really did try and let the small children there go first, but I go to Indie. As I said earlier, she is a very agreeable bird and just perched happily on the glove. Stewart then said we should give her a little pet right between her eyes and ears and low and behold she closed her eyes and started chorlting!
