Is it legal to own a SNOWY OWL in England?
how do i care for one? what job can i have so that it is legal for me to own one and properly care for it?
Answer: Probably so. I looked it up and couldn't find anything about it, but it's a predatory bird.. and those are illegal to possess. You will never find a job that allows you to OWN one, but if you volunteer at an Avian Rehabilitation center, you will probably get to temporarily care for one. I do NOT recommend trying to ever raise an owl. They are large birds that cannot be put in a cage, and need live prey daily. They need the vast wilderness to survive and be happy. Putting one in captivity puts stress on the bird, and even depress it. Wild Predator birds raised in captivity are usually miserable, and never quiet become attached to their human handlers. They are beautiful birds, but they do NOT make good pets out of the wild. If they are illegal where you live, it would be extremely difficult finding one hand raised from the time they were hatched. They aren't like the ones in the movies, which the people running them have to have a license to have one on set. No normal person can get a license to own one.. just for the reason to own one. Sorry.

How does the SNOWY OWL, Coast Live Oak, and Shelf Fungus work together to recycle mainly organic matter?
Help please.
Answer: A Snowy owl, while perched on an oak, would likely excrete waste and/or castings that would land at the base of the tree. The organic and nitrogenous components of the waste could provide nutrients that would be absorbed by the tree. Shelf fungi live parasitically on trees and function to recycle nutrients absorbed by the tree back into the environment.

Does a SNOWY OWL need Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide to live?
Does a Snowy owl need Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide to live?
Explain why.
Answer: Yes.
Snowy owls need oxygen to breathe. If they did not they could not breath, and couldn't live.
They need carbon dioxide to live, too. If they ate, let's say, a mouse, there. You may think, well, plants need carbon dioxide to live. But since Snowy owls aren't plant eaters, they don't need it. Well, I agree partially. Yes, Snowy owls aren't plant eaters. But they need carbon dioxide just as much as any other animal. Back to the mouse. The mouse needs food. It doesn't eat meat, it eats, you guessed it, plants. But if those plants never grew? The mouse would die. Then the owl wouldn't have food. It would die. A Snowy owl eats around a dozen rodents including mice a day, or a night, really.
SO YES. They need both to survive.

Is it possible to use a SNOWY OWL for falconry?
Ive always thought it would be cool to see somebody use one in falconry. I dont want some answer about how its "Cruel" to keep an Owl. I am looking for somebody in falconry to answer if they have seen or if they think it would be possible.
Answer: I am a licensed falconer.
Some falconers use owls for hunting and they use the owls that are indigenous to the area in which they hunt. Many owls are nocturnal, some are crepuscular. I think Snowy owls are diurnal and hunt in the day. If you get a falconer's license, state and federal, you will have a master falconer watching over you for the first 2 years. They will guide you on the best bird for falconing for you.

Where is the habitat of the bald eagle and the SNOWY OWL?
Please give me a general place not specific like marshes, trees.
Answer: The Bald Eagle's natural range covers most of North America, including most of Canada, all of the continental United States, and northern Mexico. It is the only sea eagle endemic to North America. Occupying varied habitats from the bayous of Louisiana to the Sonoran Desert and the eastern deciduous forests of Quebec and New England, northern birds are migratory, while southern birds are resident, remaining on their breeding territory all year. At minimum population, in the 1950s, it was largely restricted to Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, northern and eastern Canada, and Florida
The Snowy owl is typically found in the northern circumpolar region, where it makes its summer home north of latitude 60 degrees north. However, it is a particularly nomadic bird, and because population fluctuations in its prey species can force it to relocate, it has been known to breed at more southerly latitudes.

How many times does a SNOWY OWL usually mate with in its lifetime?
Answer: Hard to say..there is not set number..it would depend on the individual. Birds mate each spring, so many factors could affect how many times they mate...how old the bird lives to be, food availability, water availability, weather, migration, etc. If there is a bad season..drought, no food etc..this may cause birds to skip mating until the following year when conditions are better.
