Traditionally for KZbin: this is not a mouse, this is a pastille with strawberry jam! Although, KZbin doesn't like strawberries either.
Traditionally, for those who want an owl "easier to maintain". There are no owls that are easy to keep. They all need fresh mice, and you will have to dismember these mice. And this is the simplest thing in the content.
Now about the cute one: why can't owls be petted? First of all, you use your fingers to wipe the protective layer that protects the feathers from getting wet. The feathers become sticky and greasy.
Secondly, the very feeling of "stroking" for a bird is equivalent to the fact that they grab it and want to eat it. That is, they are afraid and uncomfortable from this.
But the birds love it when you scratch them! It is their skin that is scratched, where the feathers grow from, and not the feathers themselves. In nature, many birds scratch each other's heads, showing their friendliness and trust. This is called "grooming".
So, don't pet the birds and don't let others pet the birds! Scratch birds and teach others to scratch birds!
