A few years ago I went to a bird of prey exhibition, and there were many different types of birds and a variety of owls. The exhibition took place in Burgas (a city at the seaside in Bulgaria).We even had the chance to pet one of the owls – it was an amazing experience for us. However, the owl that we petted doesn’t look so happy in this photo. D
Despite the grumpy look on her face (I think it was a she), she was very calm and soft. It felt almost like petting a cat. There were birds that you wouldn’t want to touch though. According to the host of the exhibition, this was the only bird that would let you pet it. On the other hand, the internet is full of videos of owls who love being petted.
What about you, is there an unusual animal that you were able to pet?
Super!!! Also wish to have such chance – sure that’s unforgettable!!!
Thank you so much! I hope you get the chance to experience it!
Never got that close to an owl. Must have been a wonderful experience
It was a special moment indeed, thanks for stopping by!
Oh my gosh I cannot believe I missed this beauty! Love owls. 🙂
I love them too, they are really cute!
I got “up close and personal” with a camel and a zebra one day. I was in heaven!!
Oh, that must have been amazing! I love both of them!
It’s so pretty! I’ve seen a big owl near my house, but it was out hunting and flew close to my car
They are gorgeous, but seeing wild ones can be quite scary!
How was it Ellie? Were you nervous at all?
I was excited but I didn’t feel scared. Honestly, petting a cat can be as dangerous since they love to bite and scratch when you least expect it, haha.
What a beautiful owl! I want to pet this one, lol!!
Hehe, he/she was really cute and patient!
Wow, that is so cool 🙂
Thank you so much!
Love the photo and story. Let’s see, Ive pet Mountain lions, and kittens. Their coats are so full and dense. Not like a domestic. Alligator, shark, dolphin, red tailed hawk, and falcon. I love animals.
You’ve hadso many amazing experiences! I’d love to pet tigers or any other big cat. 🙂
You would think that their coats feel like a house cat, but they don’t feel like a house cat at all. The fur is so dense you cannot get your fingers to the skin. So thick and not as soft.
Beautiful animal … Once held a baby Orang Utan (the name is indonesian, means Orang=Man and Hutan=Forest) in Sumatra and came close to a Komoda dragon, but you don’t pet those 🙂
These must have been amazing experiences! Baby orangutans are adorable 🙂
Was with Yucca in Sumatra … she didn’t tell the whole story. The little one peed all over her 🙂 and the Komodo dragons were really scary – fast, viscious and dangerous. I felt like the little orang utan, wanting to …
That sounds scary! I guess with time we tend to remember the good things.
love owls. perfect idea!
Thank you 🙂
What a cool opportunity! I would think owls are not usually wanting to be handled.
Thank you 🙂 It seems so
Wow, so cute!
Thank you 🙂
Owls are associated with evil and I won’t move near to pet any
All animals are pure,man is evil
A few years ago my daughter petted an old at Davies Farm in Spencer Massachusetts, she was so thrilled!
It’s an amazing experience! 🙂
Wow Great photo, I wish they had exhibits like this around here.
Thank you so much! 🙂
Sounds like a lot of fun. I have always wanted to pet an owl.
It was fun indeed! 🙂
