Owl Ring Bearer?

Wut.

Owls are dangerous animals. This is unlikely to be an available service anywhere.

I'm really confused. Is your wedding at Hogwarts?

I will say this is a first.......but please don't use live animals as a prop in your wedding.

I've worked with birds for many years and studied ornithology in college. Ive never known owls to be dangerous? Especially trained ones.

Please don't use animals as a prop. They are dangerous and unpredictable!

Oh the scenarios that are running through my head right now.....

I thought they were predators.

Also...aren't owl's nocturnal?

Wouldn't it be considered cruel to have an owl as a ring bearer in a wedding..unless the wedding was at night..in that case you might freak a ton of people out.

plus.. owl poo

ETA: I keep capitalizing owl and I don't know why.

Curious to see what prompted this idea

They are predators but usually animals don't go after larger animals (I.e. Humans). If you think about it, dogs are predators.

Haha guys, holy shit:

Omg what is happening in this world.

ETA: Ostrich.

I was asking if anybody knew of a company. Not your opinions, especially from people not knowledgeable about the species. Owls are nocturnal but also come out during the day, so no it is not cruel.

I don't think that people hire out trained owls to carry your wedding rings. I know people train raptors, but they are used for hunting, not ring delivery. They are predators, like the other ladies said.

What a hoot this thread is.

Mostly what I found was in the UK. You may be out of luck.

ETA, this meme, which fits!

Okay, well, if you studied ornithology, I think your best bet would be to contact someone from that program.

Thanks m m. I was only able to find places in the UK as well.. :/

It's a weird request, you HAD to have expected some confusion and backlash.

ETA: Google fail.
