Barn Owls as pets!!!!

NTH, does that mean that these ones are legal as they are being reared from chicks?

I guess it is a bit like passing the buck Nell but as I understand it the RSPCA have the power to prosecute where as the RSPB don’t.  

Without actually asking the guys if they'd the relevant license one would never know. It's not right though, IMO.

This is a tricky one, although we may all agree that it is reprehensible the law may well allow it! If so it's yet another instance when the law is clearly an ass!

Correct, OP. It's a bit late now to do anything about it I guess. I just wonder why the BOT have not had the decency to respond to my e-mail..

How very sad that "RSPB on Club Together" has not had any RSPB input since  4 / 07 / 2019 or we could have had some answers from the  Owls Mouth as it were

They probably appear when a recruitment drive is needed Muscles🤷🏻‍♂️😕

If you look on the  RSPB web site they have a section about wild birds and the law. If anyone has concerns for the welfare of birds there is a contact number and how to report a suspected crime in detail. The section also gives a lot more information about Wild Birds and the Law.

Here's the crime report   >LINK<

I should also add that the advice cautions against using social media in case this hinders investigations....so good luck Nellie if you are still concerned.

Whereas they use social media to get donations, plus if folk use social media it may be a complaint because they ignore complaints to them personally. Me?, I’ll always use social media when any big business leaves folk wanting. The days of ‘give us money & go away’ is over.
