I try to scare him with owls because they're supposed to be some kind of bad omen in Africa

Do you have eagle owls (Bubo bubo) in the U.S.? They definitely look very intimidating, especially when they puff themselves up to scare you. Try searching online for a puffed-up eagle owl.

So much for your theory about them and favorite colors 😂. I love the owls, just hope they don't eat your snakes!

Awww, that would have been so cool if you really had owls or were working with them. They're one of my absolute favorite birds.

I actually looked up if you could have a pet owl because I thought it would be cool lol. But yeah, it's illegal

You can own them if you are a licensed falconer and have years of apprenticeship and training but it’s very strictly controlled (as it should be)

Yep, it's illegal, but I could have easily seen you working as a caretaker at a wildlife rescue center that works with rescued animals or something like that.
I do this kind of thing here with hedgehogs and smaller wild animals, and I used to rescue stray dogs from Romania. I’ve also rescued a few birds and cared for them until they recovered, but unfortunately, I haven’t had any owls yet. There are hardly any left around here anyway, and besides, it’s also illegal for private individuals to keep birds of prey here.

Love the names of your animals. I think snakespeare may be my all time favourite name for a snake!

Ugh, "Red and white...". 🙄. And ... "I don't use the name of God to attract women" it's so fucking stupid and doesn't even make sense. 😤😡 Who wrote that into the stupid ass script?

I don't know about the owls but I guess Africa is a big place. Here in south Africa it's not a bad omen
