These scumbags can have my birdfeeder when they pry my wife's cold, dead fingers...

Anybody know how I can feed an owl? I have one who comes when I call him, but he looks disappointed when there's no reward, and makes me feel really guilty...

Not really sure, but, ummm, isn't there something about live mice or small birds that would appeal to an owl? Not really into that scene, though...

Ahh, aren't you lucky to have an owl that comes to you when you call him. You should contact a birding store like "Wild Birds Unlimited" or someplace like that to find out what kind of food (other than other creatures) would appeal to the owl. We have an owl box but he doesn't use it...the other birds use it as a nesting place. :) It's OK though...everyone is welcome in this yard.

God, how we laughed at the comment about prying loose from your wife's hands. Ha,ha. Good one, fire_eye! :)

Live mice is good owl food. just toss it out on the lawn when the owl is close and watch how quick they are.
