Owl time. About 20 years back we were driving home thru the woods down the road from my house we saw an owl standing in the middle of the road. Stopped and got out and it just looked at us. Called my neighbor and he brought a cage and we captured him and took it to the U of I vet clinic. Damn thing laid face down for 3 days. Day 4 stood up and started eating. Kept getting better for a week and 3 days before they were going to let me release the big bird it dropped dead. They thought it was from being hit by a car but turned out to be West Nile virus.
Today I saw this story about owls and cars. Illinois Raptor Center treating owls hit by cars

I always thought Harry Potter would incite a period of people trying to buy Owls for their children, regardless of the risk.

To my knowledge it never really did, but imagine today if it did lol.

The vet told us that if our big bird wasn't sick it would have fucked us up.

To be fair, if it wasn't sick you'd likely never get that close to it.

But yeah, if you **** with a bird with those kind of talons, yikes.

That dog should have been rushed to a Vet! Hope it didn't die while the fucking idiot was having fun.

Owner: "Vet! Help my dog ate my weed!"

Vet: "How much did the dog eat?"

Owner: "<Insert any amount>"

Vet: "Okay well its weed and won't kill him, so just let it run its course."

Owner: "Oh, that's it?"

Vet: "Yeah now pay me 200$, thx. Byeeeeeeeeeeeee"

In a previous life, I was a falconer.
