Yes, Florence Nightingale did have a pet Owl. The baby owl was rescued by Florence after it took a fall from it's nest at the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. True to her nursing instincts, Florence took in the owl and nursed it back to health. It is said that the owl sometimes travelled with her tucked into a pocket. The owls name was Athena. When the beloved pet died, Florence had it stuffed and mounted. The owl can been found in Florence Nightingales museum.
