Fluffydude- a 2005 male snowy owl- not a rescue bird- saw him for sale and couldn't resist. Dude is one of the few Snowy's we've ever come across who will fly free to the fist and post.He is also very particular about cleanliness, bathing every morning to keep that "bluey white" appearance!!!
Boris- a 2003 Male Indian (Bengal) Eagle Owl- mistreated by a previous owner- Boris is wild, un-tamable and mad as hell!

Despite this he is our favourite owl!

He will sit on the glove if you can be bothered to chase him round the aviary for 10 mins- but will not take food from a human- We have decided for his own sake to abandon any attempts at training- find him a ladyfriend and let him settle down!!
Henry- 2005 African Spotted eagle Owl- now suspected to be female- we got him/her at 4 weeks- straight from the parents- his siblings had been sold at 2 weeks for imprinting. luckily Henry is not imprinted but is still very friendly and has recently found his/her hoot- though it is a little shaky at present!- henry is looked after and flown by Joe
Tia a 2002 female Barn Owl-we got her at 7 weeks from a council estate in the North East where she was living in a shed with her parents- had rarely seen human contact and never been handled. Within 6 weeks Tia was flying to the glove and has done so ever since- but don't be fooled by her  friendly appearance- she is wild and does not like people at all- she is one of the few owls we have who will bite if given the chance- and she will not fly with an audience,
