Does this owl go with my dress?

Oh yes last Sunday me and the boy went to Wild Wings for the second time. It was the most amazing experience, the birds are absolutely fascinating and  so beautiful. I feel so honoured to even be able to see them, let alone hold them. The centre do such a wonderful job taking in rescue birds for silly people that get carried away by Harry Potter and think they can look after them! They have Vultures, Hawks, Owls of all kinds, I want to work there... Plus the grounds are beautiful. 












 This is Nesha, she was very friendly.




 Bullet, pretending he is aloof, he so wasn't, he loved to be stroked. 





Mumble, an Eagle Owl, absolutely huge, but as soft as anything.  







 Boo, is my true love, I am convinced, he is a Spectacled Owl and loves to be stroked around his beak! 









Gizmo is a naughty little critter but could be my best friend.

This is Buttons, who flipping loved nibbling my fingers, but only softly mind.




 Me and Buttons noseying.









 This is Brambles, absolutely beautiful isn't he? So soft and such a calming influence. 










 Oh my this is Tilly, who has juvenile cataracts, she broke my heart, I wanted to take her home. They are hoping that they can operate soon. 






 I have such a respect and love for animals, I adore being able to experience something like this. I would thoroughly recommend it if you live in the North West. 

P.S. My dress is another addition to my Austrian dress collection. Like you care look at the birds!

Freebird


 Hello petals, hope you all had a ruddy lovely weekend, I certainly did. On Sunday me and my lovely went to Wild Wings  for a falconry experience. It was one of the best things I have ever experienced, I have always been an animal lover, I much prefer them to most people. These birds were just amazing, it was a privilege to be in contact with them, and the staff at Wild Wings were superb, so friendly and passionate. I thought I would share numerous photos, as my name tag just adds that right amount of quirky chic to my ensemble, combined with the different birds I feel it mixes up my look. I was completely inappropriately dressed, I thought it would be hot again, it was not! 




 Say hello to my not so little friend, Mumbles an Eagle Owl, he weighed about 6lbs but was worth the arm ache, so beautiful. 


The bicycle skirt used to be a dress, I feel very Parisian in it, or my version of Parisian. 













Buttons was playing it cool with me. 



This is Boo, a Spectacled Owl, I completely fell in love with him, he loved to have his beak tickled then would lean down to be stroked for the whole duration. Completely gorgeous! 






 Close up of Boo, my new love, and my actual love Ben. 





 Check out the snazzy glove, felt like I should have been wearing chaps too. 







 Miesha was another cool character, didn't mind being stroked but wasn't too bothered if you didn't, unlike my Boo.












 Hope was lovely.





Gizmo was adorable, the smallest and the feistiest of them did not like to be stroked. 










 Nova, a Snowy Owl was so soft, but very camera shy, I think she had just tried to fly off hence my crooked teeth on display.  What did you do at the weekend? Were you at one with nature like myself?

*Note I know they are not freebird's but I flipping love the song.
