Introducing ' PJ' ('Pie' Junior
Uploaded: January 07, 2012 18:39:29
This Owl came to our backyard Jan 1, 2012, and has been here for 7 days in a row. We believe it may be one of Pie's babies from '08 or '09, because it looks so much like Pie & Sweety. He will take mice from us if put on a feeder, hope he has found his home.

Shelly, Yes I have an Owl Call, several actually. I have been calling for ll months, (almost every day since Pie died on January 20, 2011) We feed the owls live mice we buy at the pet shop, but we are starting to raise our on mice, because it can get expensive. Pie and PJ are Barred Owls. Hope you do try this, it is great! Thanks, Linda #9913472

Shelly, I did not think I could feed a live mouse either, but if I can, because I do not like to see things die, I think you probably could, because of the love you would have for the owl. I do not let myself get attached to the mice. #9916664John Connolly January 16, 2012
I don't think anyone could get a better New year present, than an owl taking up residence on your property Linda! I hope this beautiful bird will have a long and happy life with you! #9923793Linda A. Braddock January 16, 2012
John, Thankyou for such a sweet comment, I think it was the best New Year present I could have gotten, I have waited right at about a year for this, and he seems to like it here, if miracles do happen, I think this could be one. Thanks again, so much!! #9923894Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
