seen this on freecycle!?!? barnowl?!?!

Hello freecyclers! I will be getting a Barn Owl in a few weeks and am
on the lookout for an aivery for it to live in.. Or if someone has a
shed that I could perhaps convert into an aivery, or materials to build
one? Anything considered.
 
I bought some chickens at the weekend from a guy that breeds golden eagles, owls of every kind, kestrels and had 32 different varieties of rare waterfowl on his pond :shock: (as well as over 50 chickens) !

He used the chickens to incubate the owl eggs as they are better parents (he said he couldn't feed the birds of prey his own chicks so bought them in). Then the owl babies are hand fed, imprinted on humans and sold to local bird parks, zoos etc he rarely sells to private individuals as he said there are too many numpties that think they can stick an owl in an old parrot cage and it'll be ok!

Hmmm dont think I totally agree with keeping birds of prey cooped up in a cage, or SHED. Better off in the wild me thinks.
