Larry..that little bird I had had manners with the family..with anyone else coming in the house he just had to try to scare 'em. Would fly through the house heading right at the visitor ..miss by inches every time. The horned owl had absolutely no manners.. I was a bit older and kept the fangers away. That owl was nasty. After shootin about 300 crows over him I turned him loose..caught all the rats on the place with traps and fed 'em to the owl..even killed a few skwerls and chipmunks. That sucker ate all of em. The horned owls around here have literally wiped out the (half tame) skwerls on the place here.. Coopers Hawks are fairly good size but they don't weigh much like most hawks..and that Horned owl wasn't nothing but feathers skin and bones...but still nasty and you really needed a leather cuff when ya carried him on your arm..Sharp feet. and ya needed him hooded too
