I’ve officially been cookie profiled as an internet user who is interested in owls.
Two stowaway owls have been living the good life in Spain after hitchhiking on Allure of the Seas’ transatlantic cruise
During the 12-night voyage, a pair of burrowing owls felt right at home in the ship’s Central Park neighborhood after boarding the ship in Miami, Florida.
Rodents are a serious issue, and I get why many people want something that’s going to immediately solve their problem. I’m glad you were able to find a deterrent that works. I’ve been very happy this year reading about all the programs to outfit farmers with owl friendly housing and planting guidelines to make their properties attractive to raptors so nature can do its thing and stop a lot of the problem before it starts.
For farms, owls are probably even better. It seems as if it’d be an almost easier solution to just have some barn cats and owl houses for automated whole-farm protection.
Between the 2 I feel one could be well guarded. Much more bycatch with the cats though if they aren’t lazy.
