I came home to find this guy in my apartment. Anyone know anything about owls? It's acting like it knows me! Like, IT'S WAVING!

Old pet? Who has an owl this huge as a pet? I'm pretty sure this is an eagle owl. It has a six foot wing span and two inch long talons!

[judgementkazzy]

Oh. Wow, that's big.
The picture made it look smaller.
Maybe you lived somewhere with a barn, and it you used it to hunt mice?

[blondferret]

Well, that't the thing. The other me was at some sort of school and I saw this owl in one of his memories. It brought him candy. Like, it flew in, landed on the table, and gave him a box filled with weird looking candy.

[judgementkazzy]

So it was like a delivery bird?
Like a carrier pigeon?
I guess owls can carry heavier stuff than pigeons.

[blondferret]

Maybe? I wonder how I could test that theory. Any ideas?

[judgementkazzy]

I guess you could give it something to deliver for you?
Hand it a piece of candy and ask it to take it to one of your friends.
If it works then, yeah, maybe your old-self had a carrier owl.

[blondferret]

Don't carrier birds work opposite of that? Like,
take them away from their home base and then have then fly home?

[judgementkazzy]

Oh, is that how they work?
I kind of just know them from the movies and stuff.
I figured they delivered messages wherever you told them to go.

[blondferret]

Yes, that is how carrier pigeons/homing pigeons work. Owls might be different, I don't know.

[judgementkazzy]

Still worth a shot.

[blondferret]

I guess I'll have to try that later with one of my friends. Thanks for the idea.

[judgementkazzy]

Yeah, no problem.
Good luck.

Worst case, you got a cool pet owl.
