What animal lover hasn't dreamed of having a pet owl? I wanted one after reading about Yammer, the screech owl in The Tarantula in My Purse, a book that I have previously reviewed.
In the time before it was illegal to keep owls without having a special permit, Billy had two owls.
Interestingly, the first owl that Billy finds, as the last remained owl in a nest after a storm, Wol, was colored like a snowy owl, but still was a great horned.
Soon after getting Wol, Billy finds another owl, Weeps- a small Great Horned Owl chick being tormented by some boys.
This is an interesting true story about keeping owls as pets.
That was one of my favorite books when I was a kid. - Davy
