Nice One Mate, I Got A Bengal Best Thing I Ever Did He Is Awseom Great Bird To Fly!!!!!!!!

[Wightwings]

brings back the memories......:) just a quickie tho i have to ask why do you have bells on an owl??

[OwlSurfer]

Looking good Barney :supz:

[Graham Stuart]

i put bells on her so she used to them just incase she goes into trees when im out with her when older, easier to find, also i can hear her sneak up the stairs to dive bomb me when im in the bath:wink:

[Wightwings]

fair enough and i know opinions vary but personnaly i am not a beliver in it, it must be painful for them when you think most of their heads are designed to pick up sound......i mean would you find it comfortable wearing an earing aid and someone ringing bells next to you everytime you moved.......;-)

Had quiet a few owls and never once put a bell on one.....nice looking bird tho

[Graham Stuart]

hi folks and goodbuy this is the last post by myself as i am fed up of all your anti owl brigade, owls aint nothing to do with falconry ****, i wouldnt bother replying as i wont be back on here you are a bunch of ignorant ass holes with your heads up your arses. i have a hawk so im great what a bunch of ******s you all know who you are

[MickeyDredd]

Hmm

Bye then.

[Blaze]

hi folks and goodbuy this is the last post by myself as i am fed up of all your anti owl brigade, owls aint nothing to do with falconry ****, i wouldnt bother replying as i wont be back on here you are a bunch of ignorant ass holes with your heads up your arses. i have a hawk so im great what a bunch of ******s you all know who you areBarney carry on the post m8!....Its been interesting reading how she is coming on..im sure its just a bit of a joke thats gone a bit too far m8!....Im interested in hearing the rest of her progress anyway!

[Kentish Falconry]

Barney carry on the post m8!....Its been interesting reading how she is coming on..im sure its just a bit of a joke thats gone a bit too far m8!....Im interested in hearing the rest of her progress anyway!

Come on Barney, don't let them get at you take with a pinch of salt. At the end of the day Owls are still BOP and I have no problem with people keeping Owls and i am the first to admit that I have in the past kept Owls for breeding all be it the rarer more expensive Owls but Owls all the same.
Simon also says his first bird was an Owl and I am sure that if most Forum members would admit it they have also at one time kepy Owls.
I think the whole Owl **** take issue has now gone too far and we are all guilty of the odd Owl **** take some more than others but they are really only having a Hoot. (blame Harry Fu*kin Potter for that) lol
If you love your Owls there is nothing wrong with that in my books A well kept and loved Owl is better off than a misstreated and neglected Falcon or Hawk any day.

Don't leave the Forum M8 please your one of the nice guys on here but if you find you don't want to stay anymore then best of luck to you for the future and well done you guys who wound him up this much Barney was/is a plessure to have around.
Terry

[Graham Stuart]

[Graham Stuart]

Will Post Some Older Pics I Removed Them All When I Left Forum A Few Weeks Ago In Hast..lol;)

[Graham Stuart]

Some More Lol

[Hells99]

She's gorgeous, mate
Helen:heart:

[Graham Stuart]

She is ten weeks old tomorrow and is nearly 2 1/2lb flyies to the glove for her food now..

[Hells99]

Barney, did I tell you I may be fostering a bengal from the foundation so he can get some individual attention? His name's Tony! lol. Be picking your brains for advice if I can please?

[Graham Stuart]

dont pick too muck as there aint much there just now..lol;)

[Graham Stuart]

how old is he and what weight is he...

[Hells99]

They think he's about 9 yrs and apparently (according to Liz) is 'handleable'. I read that to mean he's an absolute little b***er! She reckons he will quite down with a good bit of manning and socialising, she wants him suitable to be in a static display for fund raising or in schools etc. Don't know his weight - he's not a flying bird so he's kept relatively fat. He's in a freeloft aviary at the mo with a horned eagle owl who also has people problems.

[Graham Stuart]

you would need to see what he is like when you get him home, he will probably be fat and not very responsive, my barn owl is ussually 10oz and i left a neighbour to feed him for 6 days over christmas when i was away but unfortunetly another neighbour took it upon himself to also feed him (with food i left him previously)resulting in a 15 oz barn owl when i returned, he wouldnt come to me till i slimmed him down a bit he is now 12oz and coming nearly as quickly as before..:wink:

[Hells99]

lol, little fatso!

[SnapIt]

Nice pictures.
Completes the topic again. Thanks.

[Stephen]

[Graham Stuart]

Here are a few pics of bengy i took today.....

[Stephen]

[Kentish Falconry]

Hello Barney
It is nice to see your new Owl Bengie grow from such a young age into a beautiful fully grown bird and I also like your Barn Owl Barney. I think you are doing a good job on them and you obviously love them very much.
I would like to get myself a Falcon one day and fly it, but I seem to attract negative responses on this list

Very unfortunate that you had such a bad introduction to this forum; not all of us are quite so juvenile.

[Graham Stuart]

hi folks bengy is now 2 1/2 lb and flying to the fist for her food she will be 11 weeks tomrrow and this is her displaying to a barn owl ornament on my book shelf...lol

[Hells99]

Oh bless! Her feathers look absolutely stunning now! Keep the piccies coming please, Barney.

Helen

[Graham Stuart]

she was in a huge dog cage but was head butting it and cut the top of her wing so i treated and now have her on a block in the midddle of the living room surrounded with news paper, it has healed perfect and she is eating more than ever...:wink:

[BirdMan of Alcatraz]

hi folks this is my baby bengal ive been tring to get for ages... she is 12 days old and called bengy, she is 12oz already and eaten 2 whole chicks in the first 4 hours since i got her home......:lol:

[OwlSurfer]

Come on Barney, whats happened to this thread !!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:

[Graham Stuart]

hi OWLSURFER I will post some new pics the morn m8:wink:

[OwlSurfer]

Great mate be good to see how fat the little ****** is now! :lol:

[Graham Stuart]

Just thought i would come back on to let anyone know who was interested in Bengy that i have to part with her last week as my little boy now 10 months was suffering bad from what we thought was the cold and a very bad chesty cough for some time untill we found out he has citicosis and the bird was making him really ill, as bengy was too young to go outside in her avery i had no option but to look for a new home for her, i still have barney but he but he isnt allowed in the house no more so he is flown for an hour every morning then put on his block in the garden...Graham

[Hawkmaster]

Barney this is really bad news. I feel sorry for you and your family, but I am sure you have made the right choice.

All my life I was told that the birds gave me Asthma, I just ignored them, for many reasons, that I will not explain here, as I do not want to hijack your thread.

[Graham Stuart]

thanks mate i really miss her but i will look for an adult bird that i can keep away from the wee one....graham

[Moses]

so sorry to hear that barney mate

[Hells99]

Barney, I'm so sorry, she was a little sweetie and I'll miss the updates on her progress.

BR

Helen

[K8i]

sorry to hear that she was lovely!:)

[BlackShaheen1]

sorry to hear your news .hope your little lad is on the mend .at the end of the day your family comes first .all the best

[Blaze]

Its one of them situations that you havnt got a choice in the matter m8!....Hopefully your young one will get better m8!

All The Best!

[OwlSurfer]

Bad luck mate i know how had you looked to find him in the first place,:cry:

[Puzo]

That's a real bummer!

[Graham Stuart]

thanks for all your support, my wee boy is already a lot better after only a few days....Graham

[Scruff]

im so sorry barney!:cry:

I loved your posts on bengy's progress. Glad to hear the boy is doing better though.

[Jester]

sorry to hear about Bengy :(



could you not have sold the boy and kept the owl instead?? :lol:

[Iamtheweasel]

Barney, I have looked all over the net for anything about this aFfliction and it only seems to come up in opinions of people like it was an old wives tale. I did do quite a bit of research on birds and any transmittable bacteria, viruses and diseases and there are only a handfull of them that actually affect people. The one you listed doesn't seem to be listed anywhere I could find. I understand that your child is obviously more improtant than the bird, but are you sure this was the problem?

[Mikey100]

Psittacosis is an infectious form of pneumonia transmitted by psittacine birds (parrots, love birds, poultry, pigeons, canaries). The symptoms are feeling ill with a poor appetite, fever and a cough and breathlessness.
It is caused by Chlamydia infection of the lungs, which although not bacteria, can be destroyed with antibiotic treatment.

didn't know you could get it from an owl though!!- learn something new every day- sorry to hear about this Barney it must be a nightmare

[DeathFromAbove]

Real sorry to hear about Bengy mate, you put so much effort into that bird and it was obvious you loved Bengy lots - Chin up bud, glad your lad's on the mend tho.

All the best.
