Mmm, that's a gorgeous Great Gray right there~ Never seen one before, though I'd love to.
Eagle Owls are also very pretty- never seen one like a Eurasian or a Malay Eagle Owl before, though I have seen a few Great Horned Owls. They were much larger than I thought they would be~

And do you live in the UK, Atropine? I read a lot of articles about the Barn Owl decline there due to the bad winter weather. I hope the population can recover over time...
Yep, I do. Last December 100 Barn Owls were found dead across the UK - we've had two harsh winters in a row so they barely had time to recover. I really hope that their population can start to rise again :/

I actually found an old article about it, and it mentions that rat poison is also a big factor in their decline: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-12463744

Ah, ravens. I've always been interested in the Corvidae, ravens being my favorite species from the family. I love how most of the species in that family can mimic human words and other sounds they hear.

I've also always wanted a pet raven. XDD

I've always wanted a pet crow named Rocky. And I always wanted one smart enough to use a computer like we always do. xD

I went to a park today and they had a birdwatching area - I managed to spot a few chaffinches which were very beautiful, and I also saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker :> There were plenty of ducks and Canada Geese too.

I would have to say a bird of paradise, at least the crested ones. They are so cool, orange and black.

I also have a story of a pigeon I took care of for a day. It had a broken wing, and died shortly after anyways. But, it was friendly, and I also love pigeons. There's a family of them on my roof:
Whitewing, a black hen with white wing tips and a white spot on back. (mom)
Romeo, a dappled black and white rooster. (dad)
Cookies, a black and white chick.
May, also black and white.
Bonanza, a regular dark gray rooster with pale gray wings and black stripes on them.
Bonanza tried to kill me today.
You just lost the game

Mourning doves live on my street, also known as a Wood Pigeon. Not quite as friendly as the pigeons, who all love me!

Sounds nice ^^ I haven't gone birdwatching in a while, maybe I should. We do get quite a few woodpeckers, I usually only hear them though. Chaffinches are pretty, too =D
