No, this is real.
I was looking into this story a little bit ago and ultimately passed on it, as I think I saw some references to the owl as a pet, but I couldn't confirm.
Some owls need to live with people in a resident care environment, and that is cool. An owl just to have an owl is a grey area to me, so I stay away from that, as I tend to lean to education and rescue with my platform here.
There are places where one could have a pet owl or go to an owl cafe, etc, but I have conflicted feeling overall about less than well regulated care of wild animals.
Bored Panda has a quick summary and big photo list and a link to the person's Facebook if you want more.
No issues with the posting of this in general though.
Fair enough, thanks for the info!
Just realized I replied to aww instead of the Superbowl cross-post, so my reply may have sounded a tad snooty out of the context there.
No snootiness was inteded!
No snootiness was perceived :)
