>> Adorable Story Great Read
I work with birds of prey including barn owls and have been hesitant to pick this up because I ve read a few memoirs from people with owls as pets that are infuriating misinformation illegality etc This is not one of those memoirs
It s a touching and unique story I can t say I ve ever known someone who had a boyfriend run off by a barn owl in the bedroom I love the description of the environment of Cal Tech Makes me wish I had studied there The book was well researched There were very few facts I took issue with which is an achievement considering that Wesley lived before we knew even as much as we do today about these creatures
We all know how any wildlife memoir ends but Wesley s story is funny and charming enough to soften the blow A great read I ve recommended it to everyone I know who s ever loved a raptor
>> Enchanting
There are already dozens of reviews of this book on Amazon so I shan t repeat the storyline for you However for those of you who have any feeling for the amazing stories of relationships between animals and humans this is a must read
Stacey and Wesley live their lives together from the time that the owl is four days old They form such a very strong relationship that they converse with each other and share each other s emotions happy and sad The story is beautifully narrated with sentiment and it will make you laugh and it will make you cry
Don t hang about waiting for me to say any more Go and get yourself a copy and read it I can safely say that you are more likely to thank me for that recommendation than to curse me for it
>> Wesley the Owl is a treasure
WEsley the Owl is a great story of a girl s love of an owl and their remarkable relationship There is more the learn about owls than you ever dreamed
