Feed me!

Visited our local garden centre late this afternoon and this snowy owl in the Birds of Prey enclosure was making the most terrific racket.

The owner explained that it was feeding time and he would feed her as soon as the last visitor had gone.

"Is this because you give them live food?"
"Oh no!" He is shocked at the suggestion. "That's strictly illegal."
I do not press him further.   I know from previous visits to such places they tend to have a deep freeze full of day old chicks. Maybe this one is different... Sometimes its better not to know what goes on behind the scenes.
