Eagle Owl Attacking People In My Area.

[youcanthide...BANG 1,051]

 

More than likely mate, maybe somewhere where they are living naturally already like the dales but then i dont know what the problem of another owl in another's territory will cause?

Living naturally ?? Who's responsible for realising those then or are they escapees ???

 

Also told by someone who had them for a few years licensing is needed for them but not sure if theres any truth In it must admit I wouldn't be happy with just any idiot bieng able to go out and get one.

 

Not sure if they have been released im sure ive heard theyve been living in britain for ages.

No you dont need a licence for them, you just need the bird to have an article 10 if it a british species to prove it was born in captivity, and since you do need an article 10 for an eagle owl im assuming they must live in britain naturally?

i dont mind the questions honest i wouldnt of made the thread if i didnt want to be drilled with Qs.. If i didnt get anywhere with it then that would be my next goal of getting it somewhere more habitable than its current location. I would release it back to the place i caught it but that would just be damn stupid as its been well nown to attack people round the estatte and thats pretty much defeating my case of capturing it in the first place so id probably take it somewher out the way big open coutryside fields with nearby woodlands and release it there. Its hunting abilitys wouldnt be effected as this would return naturally remembr shhes been wild for over 2 yr now. Its certainly is gonna be 1 challenge i know that for sure..

 

Thanks mate, nice one she sounds like she will be in good hands, its just i would hate to see her kept in an aviary doing nothing when shes survived perfectly fine without any help

I'd rather see an owl sat in an aviary doing nothing than a young lad with his face ripped off or an old pensioner lose there pet lap dog. Best of luck in catching it mate deadly feet on them. Atb.

Thats my exact point mate. Fair enough if it wernt causing any mayhem to the locals and was just doing its normal hunting routines but this beast seems to be attacking anything in its menace. Hope i can fix this problem and see the bird back to captivity as it was bread and born to be..

Owl sanctuary surely...

Sadly mate alot of the owl sanctuaries are poorly run and dont treat them like birds of prey, more like pets, taking them to public places and charging £5 a picture to the unknowing public, seen a few myself and the conditions they were kept in were terrible, the equipment on them was shocking with most of the owls rings below there anklets and some with no rings at all. They would be better of dead than ´rescued` in most cases

Ah lamp round cleadon alot and never seen it and there's a goshawk dwn the river near the canyon and blue bell woods and washy wild fowl just on other side so may be its the goshawk wats doin all the damage there and it's got telemetry anklets Jessie's bells it bin down there about 6-7month maybe longer

[charlie caller 3,654]

Trap it then, it would be fu-kin deadly if it been living wild for that time mate

[Thesharpeend 85]

It's a big bird like its whipping all the pheasant out for fun and you always stumble across it when it's feeding thn gives you a evil look and just takes off with its prey lol

[Thesharpeend 85]

[charlie caller 3,654]

I remember years back seeing an Eagle owl sat looking out of the bell tower of St Albans Cathedral awesome things. Hows it going with the trapping, fascinating thread, post up the outcome ;-)

[craigynewall 28]

Been back a few times all kitted up with trapping gear and guess what. Never had 1 sighting of her yet. Happen to see it everytime i go down without all the stuff. Typical.
