Owl Pendant blog giveaway!

Just because I love owls so much and I've got some new owl buttons listed on my Folksy shop, I thought I'd do a blog giveaway of one of my owl pendants.




If you like owls too and want to win this necklace, just start following my blog and tell me a fact about owls, a joke about owls or even why you like owls too!



I'll pick my favourite comment next Sunday afternoon - good luck x

    And....folklore says, 'Parents thought their babies would have trouble if an owl hooted when their baby was born'.

    Amusing owl story - When I was about 13/14, I went to Majorca on a bird spotting holiday, oh yes.
    One of the bird we had been told to listen out for was the Scops Owl, and we were taught how to make a Scops Owl call.
    One evening, I'm sitting on the balcony of our hotel room with a mate, and hear a Scops Owl, so I start calling to it. We went on calling to each other for ages, and eventually I decided to go and tell our teacher that we've heard one.
    I run down to the terrace where he is, and he tells me to be very quiet, because he's been calling to a Scops Owl, but it's just gone quiet, so we need to listen carefully to see if we can hear it again. I didn't have the heart to tell him...

    That's so cute! One of my first best friends had a pet owl (his parents practically lived in a zoo!) and I've always remembered that apparently the tufts of feathers on top of some owl's heads, you know the ear tufts are for display only. That's all I got for Owl facts though. Only that, I'm also obsessed with them too :).

    This link: http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v117/199/93/653653452/n653653452_228858_5212.jpg hopefully goes to a photo of me with a baby Ural Owl in Sweden. It had been taken from its nestbox to have a leg-ring fitted by a bunch of Swedish ornithologists. Ural Owls are incredibly violent despite looking like big feathery teddy-bears (http://www.einst.ee/publications/images/nature/kakk2.jpg) - their Swedish name is 'Slaguggla', meaning 'strike owl'. Out of the frame of the photo is a guy holding a big branch, to fend off Mother Ural Owl in case she decided to come down and clobber someone.

    I forgot to include the best (OK, the only) owl joke I know. What's yellow and wise? Owl-infested custard.

    I can't recommend this place highly enough - it's such a fabulous day out and is family run. I bought my Mum & Dad an owl experience day here and they loved it. http://www.hawk-conservancy.org/ - it's in Weyhill, Andover. And here's a little owl fact: a group of owls is known as a 'parliament' or more appropriately 'a stare'!
