The close-range owl interactive experience is about to begin!
I was worried that there are so many small animals in the indoor environment. The cleanliness of the environment may not be ideal. I didn't expect that the store is very clean and comfortable. Coupled with the owl habits, they will be shaded to make them comfortable growing up here!The scene is divided into two areas. One area is an open birdcage. Each grid has 2 to 3 owls of similar age and size. I guess it may be to avoid too big a gap. Will the little owl be bullied?
The first area is open-ended interaction. When entering, the hands will be sprayed with antiseptic solution, and 4 to 5 staff in the store will assist us, so that we can directly let the owl roost on the hands, shoulders or heads, even in case of failure. Watch out for the pupu of the eagles (yes, that's the one you think!), and the staff will quickly assist in cleaning up.
The first time I interacted with owls, Wendy and I were so nervous. These friends have long been accustomed to contact with the crowd, and even jumped from our shoulders to our heads comfortably. One of the apple-faced owls was very hardworking He pecked my hairy hat ball on my head and made us laugh all over. After returning to Taiwan, I have always recommended it to friends around me. It's worth coming here for a walk.Follow our photos to see these cute little guys~
