NapoleonName: Napoleon
Species: Tawny Owl
Born: 2 years old
Napoleon is a captive bred male Tawny Owl and born April 2004 . He was rescued when he was 6 months old. The previous owner decided that they did not want him. They had kept him in a cage, with no perch, that was far too small and he lost his tail feathers and his wing tips. These started to re-grow when he had his first moult in the spring. He doesn’t like flying and hops around everywhere. When you talk to him he blinks his eyes in answer to you, which can look quite amusing
