After watching my videos about Yoll the eagle-owl, many people wish to have one as a pet. I can't explain why critical thinking and logic simply switch off in their brains, and I get lots of questions about where to buy an eagle-owl, not only from kids, but also from adults.
Do not get an eagle-owl as a pet, period! It's a dangerous bird. Cats and dogs can be dangerous too, but many people know how to raise and train them properly or hire professionals for the task, like canine handlers, for example. People who know how to raise an eagle-owl are extremely rare, and you're definitely not one of them. Such irresponsible actions will result in death or disability of the bird and serious trauma for humans.
Do not acquire wild predators if you lack the skills and knowledge to handle them.
Yoll and her experience of living with humans is a one-of-a-kind miracle. Ornithologists from other European countries tell me that they study my Videos to learn more about bird behaviour, since in their countries it's illegal to keep a bird of prey in the house.
I, unfortunately, have to learn from my own mistakes, because I haven't yet found another person as crazy as me to live and sleep on a regular basis In the same room with an unfastened adult eagle-owl.
