26 July and we are getting closer...

As I write this entry, Pappa is on the balcony pillar sounding his mating hoots. It's just before 6pm and the sun is just going down now. In the distance, I hear Pot Plant Owl's return hoots, letting Pappa know she's on her way.

We're preparing for their imminent return. The 'hide' items are out (the stuff we put on the glass sliding door for owl / human privacy). Africam is ready to go with a fancy webcam that should provide greater viewing and hopefully better angles.

We're also in the process of revamping the PPO website, so watch this space.

Any day now we should be greeted by an owl sitting in a pot plant when we wake up...

  9. We do have one question.

    Did Allan keep Teeny's sandal, or will he need to 'donate' a new one?

  18. Like everyone else here, I am very excited to know we may soon be seeing PPO and Papa raising another family. I have missed them very much and have also missed the wonderful people here who share their love of owls. The comeradery is wonderful and I have learned so much!
    To Tracy and Allan; I hope life has treated you well since we last chatted and look forward to hearing from you both again real soon.

    Warm Regards,
    Breezy

    P.S. I have shared my Pot Plant Owl book with so many people and each one has been as thrilled to read their story as I am. It's one of my greatest treasures. <3
