- I have been looking for this owl for five years now. I saw it about 5 years ago, with no camera, now I have seen it again, and again no camera, then the last few weeks I have been finding these feathers laying about. To be clear I was wrong, I know now (several weeks later) that this is the feather from a Barn Owl. Or even better a Hobgoblin feather.
The Barn Owl is known all over the world and has numerous names. It also goes by Monkey-faced Owl, Ghost Owl, Church Owl, Death Owl, Hissing Owl, Hobgoblin or Hobby Owl, Golden Owl, Silver Owl, White Owl, Night Owl, Rat Owl, Straw Owl, Barnyard Owl and Delicate Owl. - Sport
I just got an wild owl feather while walking in the park today! I’m gonna do this! I named him Owl Capone and the feather is beautiful a little frayed at the tips though! Very public park too just walked the dogs and spotted it near a picnic table! I’m so happy thanks for showing me how to efficiently clean my new owl feather!🥰
I love the name, Owl Capone... how cool is that!
I love your 🐧 penguin shirt!
thanks much. I don't have that anymore, finally just got so old if fell apart. Been looking for a new on. My sister was a huge Penguin fan and when she passed I kind of adopted the like for them, just to feel like she is still around.
It's a beautiful feather...must be a big owl...I pick feathers up if I see um on the floor...thanks Richard for another interesting video
thanks much for watching. on 3 Jul you will be able to finally see, at least the type of bird, they come from. Can't say the actual birds but after 5 years of hoping to see it. What do I find sitting in a tree. The video is already on my face book page. facebook.com/richard.bentley
Many owl feathers are huge ı have
In the United States, all native birds are federally protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act which basically says you can’t have any bird or part of a bird in your possession without state and federal permits- this includes feathers, bones, eggs & nests.. also, that’s not a Barn Owl Feather & it looks like a Barred Owl feather- either way, both are federally protected birds
Yes, I am quite aware of the laws about having feathers, I have been many times remined by so many, now you can be added to that list.
I found a stellers Jay feather. Can I just freeze it, wash with water and soap, rinse with water and dry it? I don't want to ruin it. I'll be freezing it in a sealed plastic bag.
Not sure why you need to freeze it but a simple wash has never harmed any feather I have found. I've never frozen one before.
@@cagedraptor thanks for the reply. Freezing ensures all insects/parasites die apparently. I'm taking mine out of the freezer and giving it a wash and drying it, ready for display :) Thanks again
thats not a barn owl feather .its a great horned owl feather .I have this too you are sooo lucky
was a great find, no matter what type of owl, I think
I sorry I want to say spotted owl feather
Good job Bird of prey feathers are best and rarest
Doesn't matter what type of alcohol?
I wouldn't use really potent alcohol but the basic medical rubbing alcohol seems to work fine
why you cleaning the feather?
Feathers can carry a lot of bacteria and even parasites on them
Could be a barred owl
Yes, that is one of them that I thought it could be. I do have a video of a couple owls I was blessed to find on one of my walks. If I can find it I'll link it here. czcams.com/video/ve8eGF986KI/video.html
Do you collect feathers
I will say no I do not collect feathers. I also would say this was only an instructional video for educational purposes only. I absolutely wouldn't want to break any laws. As it has been, so often brought to my attention, that possessing bird feathers is a crime in the U.S. a land that claims to be the land of the free where there are sooooo many laws that no one is free to do anything. So I will say I do not collect feathers, even ones found lying of the ground, which harms nothing and no living creature what so ever. Thanks much for your comment and view on this video.
Oh okay thanks for the information im actually a Native American what do you do with the feathers
