She has a captive-bred education bird named Xena, a Eurasian Eagle Owl. A few weeks ago squirrel was hit by a car in front of my house. I was still afraid for them, though, so I picked up the dead squirrel with a piece of rebar and put it in the woods. The next day they walked up my driveway with their own dead squirrel.
