They have owls here.
Owls that hoot a lot. In the day time. In the night time. While I'm in the shower. While I'm trying to read. While I'm walking to class. While I'm brushing my teeth.
Don't worry though,
smlyctwntstopee is going to shoot them for me. We're friends again, at least for the five minute period in which the birds die.
So I have decided that, contrary to popular opinion, I would not like to be a wizard in JKR's universe because then I would constantly be surrounded by bloody owls that bloody hoot all the bloody time. Maybe they have a way to magic their beaks shut. Or cut out their voiceboxes.
ETA: I'm rethinking allowing
smlyctwntstopee within a five mile radius of me when she has a gun in hand.
