"Flip to the owl section and find your species of owl, and it should help you out with your owl. Now let's see what's going on your bird here. Let's make surethe door and window are both locked and shut tight."
He got up, locked the door, then went to the window and pulled theblind up to see the beautiful landscape of the England country side. The sun was just starting to set. He smiled and became even more sure he could tame this bird and teach Simon a thing or two on how to control it.
He reached down to unlatch the owl, and it bit him. Benjamin reached back in to unlatch the owl. This timethe owl sat back and once the door was open, the owl took flight and began circling the compartment looking down at them both as if searching for food. Benjamin studied it a moment, then reached back into his pack and pulled out a mouse and a lizard. The mouse he threw towads the door, and the lizard he sat on the perch next to the window. The owl dove for the mouse, but turned to eat the lizard.
"Well, you'll have write your parents and tell them to pick up an assortment of lizards for food. Now to see what tune he'll come to."
Benjamin whistled many different tunes known in the UK and got no response. He started whistling some American tunes and Amazing Grace was the one which caught the owl's attention, and he flew straight to Benjamins empty shoulder and perched there.
"Well, you now know the song to whistle to get him to come. And he's a very fast flyer and smart, too. But you know what makes him so aggresive? He's molting and needs his loose feathers to be plucked so he's comfortable."
He turned the cage around and whistled twice, and threw another lizard into the cage, and the bird hopped off his shoulder and into the cage.
"He also needs to be let out more."
Simon scanned the book and came to the conclusion that his owl was a snowy owl...how could he not know that, it was his owl after all. Simon needed to pay more attention to Dunkan from now on. "He's a snowy owl." Simon announced.
He then witnessed what Benjamin did...it was incredible. Simon was beyond surprised at how Dunkan allowed Benjamin to get him out of the cage AND feed him. Dunkan liked lizards, COOL. "I'll have to get more of those." the boy smiled, finally knowing what to do. "You are brilliant. Just brilliant. Dunkan has never been so...active." Simon smiled and now he would have to whistle the song for the owl listen to him.
"Hey." Simon had a question and was wondering if Benjamin knew the answer. "I also have a pet ferret and I spend more time with him, do you that could be the reason Dunkan doesn't like me?" maybe the owl wanted to eat Boomer.
