Here is shot taken of Kaln a European Owl I have the pleasure of working with. Here he is sat on a sign post we put in asking dog walkers kindly to pick up there dog mess.
Where we fly our birds we share a foot path with dog walkers. Some owners are great yet some just don't care about the mess they leave behind.
Nothing worse than stepping in dog crap. Soon we will be moving to our own Farm, with no dog walkers!!
The heading of sign I left in to get more impact on Kaln who is about to take off, no he is not getting ready to attack a dog or its owner lol.

He likes Yorkies, they're his favourite
Alan, our Centre is only open to pre-arranged visits, we are the opposite to Newent, they breed birds, places like ours pick up the aftermath hench pre-arranged only.
In answer to what you have asked Alan, all I can suggest is to look at our web site for info, I hope this isn't breaking any UKNP rules saying this, I was just answering a simple question asked If this needs to be deleted, please feel free to delete

That's some bird!! Looks well 'ard! Looks like he's got metal ferules holding his talons in Like you say, nothing worse that dog crap (except cat crap perhaps ) and it really makes me irate that dog owners can't just pick it up.... you'll find it probably isn't their children that get blinded because of it. Moan over... nice pose
