Answer 1

Need to find a nest. Its illegal as most birds are illegal to own even illegal to have their feathers. The chance of getting caught is slim at less your posting vids and pics over facebook and youtube. I have had 10 illegal pet wild birds tamed down and nothing bad happen as cops will never know at less you show proof that you have them. I don't have them any more. I had blue jays and black birds.



If your going to get an owl you need to find a nest like I said. If you catch one that is not a baby it will act nuts and be hard to tame. It takes months to tame them down to trust you if they ever do. My wild birds i tamed were still nothing like pet birds but trusted only me and would sit on my finger and chill. If i had food they would come up and want some. If another person was by me they would be scared to come by me.

It is illegal to possess any owl that is native to the US, whether it is captive bred or not, without proper permits (falconry, zoos, etc). If you were to buy an exotic, you still have to get import permits, as there are few to no breeders of these kinds of owls in the US. Even if you could find one, it would be really unlikely they would sell one for pet purposes. Also, a fair price? Expect to pay several thousand for an exotic.



Do you know how to imprint a raptor properly? Raising a baby owl is extremely difficult. A misprint results in a screaming, and very aggressive animal.

Answer 3

It is illegal to own an owl as a pet. All wild native species are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Some people use owls for falconry, but they are not recommended for this since they are hard to train, and you would need to work as an apprentice under an already licensed falconer for a minimum of 2 years before you could obtain your own bird. You would also need the proper resources for an owl and would be subject to inspections..and would be fined if you did not pass. Owls are wild animals and not meant to be pets. If you really love and respect owls..you would NEVER want to keep one.

Answer 5

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Go here http://OnlineDogTraining.enle.info/?55SS



For the potty training: Try taking her out every hour on the hour and don't bring her back inside until she potties! And as soon as she finishes pottying give her a tasty snack and reward and praise her. The best way to potty train is to prevent accidents, so if you can, get some pet scent remover and clean your house from top to bottom. Wal-Mart has some stuff called "OUT! Natural" and it works very well. It smells like lemons and herbs and it also removes stains. Then, if you can, get pee-pee pads. LOTS of them. Line your entire floor with them if you have to securing the seams with scotch tape. Only replace the ones she potties on daily. Leave the rest. After while you can start removing them one at a time until there are only a few left. It sounds complicated but it works. Most people use this trick for small rooms like a bath room or bedroom they have to leave the dog in when they go somewhere. Sooner or later she'll get down to just pottying on one pad, and then you slowly move it a few inches towards your door every day. Then move it outside. You should never punish a puppy for pottying in the house, only prevent it, and reward them for going in the proper place. And don't clean up the mess when they're watching. It's like a mind game for them.



For the chewing: Get her rawhide toys, bones, Greenies, rope toys, balls, squeaky toys and anything else you find at the store that's made for dogs and she might enjoy. Give her 2 or 3 a day, and rotate them so she only has the same ones for a day or two and she won't get bored with them. I understand you're against physical punishment, but really you should try using a loud newspaper or paper towel roll (that's empty of course), or an envelope with the plastic window thing in it. Just something that makes a lot of noise but doesn't cause pain. I found the envelope works best. Keep a very good eye on her at all times, and when you see he headed for something she shouldn't have tell her NO! If you can stop her before she gets to it that really speeds up the training. If not it's okay, just tell her no, and if she doesn't respond, tell her a second time and follow up with the paper.



For the crate training: It's best to work on this when you leave the house and no one is around. Doing it at night keeps everyone up and it's just annoying. Put her in the crate, and cover it with an old blanket so she can't see you leaving. When you leave it doesn't matter how much she cries, she'll take the hint that crying won't get her her way. And whatever you do, never ever ever let her out of the crate while she's crying. This enforces the behavior and you'll never get her trained to sit there without crying. If you can't get her to quiet right before you take her out, make a loud noise like clapping your hands and as soon as she's quiet you can let her out.



I hope it all works out for you... if you need any more help feel free to e-mail me. I can look up some of the sites I got my training info for you. Oh, and Bull Dogs are very stubborn by nature, they take longer than some breeds to catch on to and respond to training.
