Owls nest in your home?

[written]

[chikaidestroyer]

No. I have an owl that lives in the house. Apparently he lives a double life of sorts.

[written]

[offallingsnow]

I see.

[chikaidestroyer]

Do you? I can't imagine it sounding particularly everyday in nature.

[themoonuplifts]

Have you seen them? Are they cute?

[chikaidestroyer]

...I've seen them... They resemble gray puffballs. They aren't flying yet.

[themoonuplifts]

I wanna see! I wanna see!

[chikaidestroyer]

Ah... You could either come over or I can bring the book over to their nest. They've made their nest in a woodpecker hole.

Owlets?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I believe that's the proper term for baby owls. Rune just calls them his "brood."

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I knew what the term meant. I was just a little surprised.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

He doesn't talk much, so it's a surprise for us all.

[Voice]

[salvationfound]

Ah. I seem to recall you keeping an owl.

...I would think the screeching of the owlets would alert anyone.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I hate to say it, but I wasn't even aware he had a mate, let alone owlets. He doesn't say much about himself.

[god_is_a_dude]

How could you not be aware of owlets?

[chikaidestroyer]

They weren't born on the premises, so we don't hear them. The father didn't bother to mention until now.

[god_is_a_dude]

Yeah, but didn't the guy ever bring his mate home or anything?

[chikaidestroyer]

You would think so, but apparently not. I've never heard of animals living double lives before.
