I wouldn't mind walking around with a Little Owl (I think that's what it is) on my shoulder. Maybe not so much with one eating a cockroach while perched there, though.
There was a post a while back with pictures of someone's tame owl bringing them a mouse. While the person was asleep in bed. Adorable! But I would give that a pass, too.

You all oughta be ashamed of yourselves. A bunch of big guys like you, pickin' on a poor little owl like him. Suppose you was torn away from your mother when you was just a baby. Nobody to tuck you in at nights. No warm, soft, caressin' wing to snuggle inta. How would you like being left out alone, in a cold, cruel, heartless woild? And why? I ask ya, why? Just because he's got those big eyes, they call him a freak. The laughing stock of the coicus. And when his mother tried to protect him, they threw her into the clink. And on top of that, they made a YouTube video! Socially he's washed up! Aw, but what's the use of talkin' to you cold-hearted boids? Go ahead! Have your fun! Laugh at him! Kick him now that he's down! Go on! We don't care.

Owls and Bobcats are my favorite wild things.
We have a big ol Barn Owl that hangs out in my neighborhood. My next door neighbor thinks it's a Screetch Owl, but I think she's too big. Either way I think she's lazy, as she's not getting all the rats on my property.
Maybe I'll have to outsource

Considering owls have no external ears whatsoever, perhaps it's an ironic name? Like naming your dog Morris or your cat Fido?
