Is it legal to keep an Owl as a pet?

Answer 1

Yes as much as any bird makes a pet. Not real good for an inside pet as they cannot really be trained to use a litter box and they leave droppings everywhere. They will however respond to you after a while, clucking contentedly when cuddled or scratched and running to you in anticipation of being fed. Unlike other pets you get the reward of a fresh egg almost daily. The mice my cats bring me are not as useful.

Answer 2

All species of owl do not make good pets. During mating season, they could be very loud. They bite hard and have sharp talons. You have to find a good vet who specializes in raptors. It is also illegal to own any native species of raptor in the U.S. You could own a non native species if it is legal in your area, but think of all the expenses. If you don't mind the work, think about the laws in your country.
