She’s a State and Federally licensed Rehabilitation Specialist with birds of prey! Also she has a display permit! It’s a federal felony jail time without those permits! Also she’s a licensed falconer and yes back in the day I displayed the same documents for wildlife rehabilitation! She does an amazing job with her owl 🦉 and your right owls are cool 😎 very cool 😎
She is an animal lover and a knowledgeable Falconer and rescuer. She would never hurt an animal. She has a gift with animals. She informs the public as she is out and about and in her videos she posts.
@@godfamilycountry2785Since it seems like you’re very knowledgeable about these things like Oaky’s mom is, do you know if it’s frustrating that Oaky doesn’t get to mate, as he’s indoors etc. I know with cats or dogs they can be spayed or neutered which is actually healthier for them and then they will no longer have urges or a need for that. So what about with Oaky, do you think? A mouse friend is one thing, but you know what I mean…
Don't owls eat mice and hampsters? I would think that the poor hampster is living with a lot of fear since they know that owls are prey animals and that hampsters are the prey.
Of course they do; I can't believe they let her buy that poor little creature. He was a regurgitated pellet by the next day, just like her "pet" parakeets.
She's pretty evil if she lied to all the people about getting the hampster has a pet and fawned all over the poor thing only to end of feeding it to the owl. Oaky doesn't love the hampster, he views it has prey. That's pretty cruel to do that to the hampster. This lady reminds me of Elmyra, the little girl in Tiny Toons who loves her pets to death.
What? Food-Friendly? You’re doing life kill testing him? Why? He’s killed two parakeets, why are you putting a hamster in the same experiment to see if he kills that too. This is just cruel to me.
I knew a guy who raised hawks. He bought bird “friends” at the pet store for his hawks to kill and eat. I find it hard to believe her parakeets died while playing with their owl friend. Poor hamster.
Wow! I didn’t realize how big his wing span was! What a true and great ambassador he and you are! I love learning about owls and thank you so much for letting me view them in such a new and different way for we have owl here where I reside that are wild and they are so amazing to watch! Thank you for all that you do to care for him! ❤
Leslie you and Oaky are just awesome. Thank you for being such a sweetheart and sharing him with us. So,a name for the little girl how about Annie Oakley 😅😅 couldn't resist it lol. Have a blessed night
You are such a beautiful person. Oaky loves you it’s so awesome he makes the same mannerisms towards you that my animals do especially the ones who are spoil AND obsessed with me. It’s amazing to watch you guys together knowing this is a true bond and you are a great mom
New subscriber here, I had 2 owls like yours when I was a young teenager, got them by a sad accident, most folks have no idea how much a baby owl can eat in a day, I had them about a year and a half and they left. Your show brought back lots of good memories and I thank you for that
I know I thought the same thing 😟 he’s a beautiful and tame owl, but I wouldn’t trust him around my budgies though…that’s risking their precious tiny lives. I have cats in the same household as my birds and take serious precautions to avoid disaster .
??? what are you talking about , watch this whole video then listen to leslie she has mentioned the birds she has had ,but why say things that you dont know about ,listen and learn from leslie she is very knowlegable and caring look at how oaky is with her dog and now the hamopster also oaky is sitting there looking around and just enjoying life and hang loose
This is wonderful. I love to see them so good with each other. When I go to PetSmart, I talk with the different mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, lizards, etc. We all need love.
I’ve been terrified of owls for as long as I can remember but I recently came across Oaky and I love him, and I love you because your personality is beautiful. I’ve learned a good amount of owls from your videos and it intrigues me more. Great horns are also the ones I’m most scared of but Oaky is helping me, thank you for everything you do! I look forward to more Oaky and you content ❤
He’s an absolutely gorgeous owl 🦉. He’s very loving to others and he can tell you love him too based upon his calm demeanor in any setting. I also love how the girl who immediately thought you were trying to feed him a mouse ended up being just as loving once she warmed up to him, haha. Wonderful video!
So cute I love watching all of your amazing videos brings tears to my eyes of joy to see the passion that you have to educate others about these beautiful ❤️ and you have an amazing person taking care of thank you for your amazing videos very entertaining
I live in the desert and have about 35 trees. There are many rabbits, quail, chipmunks out here. Occasionally at night you'll get swooped on by an owl, they are so silent! But its exciting to see them. There was even a huge one screeching at night on top of my power pole. It was so loud I went out to look, you could see it perched on the pole. He kept up for a while, in the morning he flew off. Yes, owls are magical
I just came across your video with Oaky. I love your beautiful owl! Im very impressed with how you treated everyone so nice in the store too. Im going to enjoy watching Oaky in more of your videos! ❤
I really enjoyed watching this ! Oaky sure love his new friend and I am sure as time goes by she will love Oaky too! Thanks for sharing this with us ! Health and happiness to you all ! 🥰🤗❤❤
What a wonderful video! Ive never heard of a raptor having a favorite toy outside of a lure. Im working to become a falconer, and I think youre so cool! ❤ to both of you :)
Does Oaky enjoy going out. I love how he is turning his head to take in everything. I think at 1 point he wanted to fly around the store.😂😂He is so calm though. What a beautiful boy!❤
I can't believe she bought him a live hamster, I thought she meant a toy. Owls are predators and hamsters are prey, I can't believe she's scaring the poor hamster just so her owl can have a prey animal to play with.
Maybe PetSmart's absolute ridiculous Pollyanna policy of let's starve all predators to death and not allow them to have their natural prey policy could have been an influence here.
I used to talk to an owl in my backyard. My Dad taught me how to curl my tongue and whistle like Hoo hoo huhoooo. The owl would answer back! I love owl's.❤
Imagine being a pet owner, you’re going to get food or toys for your Dog, Cat, Hamster or Fish and you see someone walk in with an Owl. That would be a sight to behold. It would be like that scene straight out of State Farm where people instead keep saying “I should have got an Owl.”
OK so I thought about it and I came up with Anna. Anna’s are humming birds that enjoy being around oak trees… oaky 🦉 and Anna sitting on an oak tree 🌳 😊❤
Gorgeous owl. Personally, I wouldn't take him in a pet store where he could possibly contract something that might make him ill. Old adage.. "Ounce of prevention...." .
Oaky is awesome i would be so excited if i saw an owl in my local petsmart I fell in love with owls when i was little and the local wildlife rehabers brought in an barn owl who sadly couldn't be released back into the wild in to our elementary school
I saw an owl 1x time in my life it was sitting on my fence near my car and they are huge lol. I saw a white one with circles around it eyes. I was scared at first bc I didn’t know wtf it was lol. It was such magestic looking bird. It was just looking at me lol.
Oh, that was so cool watching you and Oaky at Pet Smart!! And your new hamster is so cute!! How about calling it… Lovie… because you Leslie,are so loving to Oaky and everyone!!!❤️
I swear I mean no disrespect. She kept saying that “the owl has never killed anything live…” and then after “… oh he killed two parakeets….” 😐 I can’t be the only one who caught the controversy of what she just said.
Yeah I don't understand how she thinks they are going to be friends, the owl will see foid and the poor haster is going to be terrified to beeaten by the bird. But even if they realise that it's not food or the owl is no danger why even take risk in the first place by letting animals thatin nature would be prey ad predator be together (even if the hamster is in the cage), just cruel.
They all are so beautiful, oaky is always so gentle and so precious I just love animals they give you so much love and happiness, Hannah the hamster I love that name for her but you probably have a name as I’m So far behind in catching up with videos ❤ love to oaky from Australia 🇦🇺
She's all excited about getting a hamster and I'm sitting here like girl! You have an OWL!! The absolute best pet you could ever have!! 😅

Well since mice are dinner for owls, it’s not a friend for him
The flex of walking into a PetSmart with an owl on your shoulder.
I have seen hawks in smaller pet stores. It's wild. Falcons too
Anything for attention I guess. Seems dangerous
And those hoooooters.
Love that oaky did a meet and greet at petsmart 😂
Look at Oaky being so sweet and friendly just like you Leslie 🥰🤗💞💞💞🦉🦉🦉
All love for you both
Thank you ❤
You and your Owl Oaky make the world a better place. Thanks for sharing him with us. Blessings 🫶
Thank you so much! It’s our pleasure to share him with you :-) 🦉
Yes I agree and oaky is so beautiful ❤️🦉 have a great night

She just said he is afraid of live mice. He will hide.
@AmberHorne34 She also said he killed two of her parakeets but shortly after said he never killed anything before. She can't keep track of the lies.
I knew a guy who raised hawks. He bought bird “friends” at the pet store for his hawks to kill and eat. I find it hard to believe her parakeets died while playing with their owl friend. Poor hamster.
Oaky is a celebrity! He is such a sweetheart. I ❤ him.
He loves YOU too! 🤗

I bet they do eat a lot..I wish I had one and a deer and I'd be set lol.
You’re so knowledgeable and kind. I love Oaky and your channel!
I freaking love your house!! I love how high up it sits. Beauty house. Honestly having Oaky there makes it that much better!!
RIP for that poor little hamster and the two parakeets. 😢
I know I thought the same thing 😟 he’s a beautiful and tame owl, but I wouldn’t trust him around my budgies though…that’s risking their precious tiny lives. I have cats in the same household as my birds and take serious precautions to avoid disaster .
It's heartbreaking and so cruel. It's not Oaky's fault - it's totally the owners fault.

You and Oaky are both SO COOL. I love the impromptu facts and education you gave the people you met there. 😊
Awww, he's so cute. I would love to have him on shoulder especially when i feel sad. 🦉🦉🎩

I also like the Penny hairstyle the Petsmart worker has going on.
This is fantastic! Brings awareness. He and you are just amazing. I love how you love him. 🥹♥️
You are so sweet letting EVERYONE touch and hold your own. Fantastic
The joy you and Oakey spread is what the world needs more of❤️
This is absolutely fantastic!
The experience for these young people will always stay with them.
This is great outreach and education!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love u and your beautiful pet❤️😍You r a good listener to your little owl’s needs😊
I just came across your video with Oaky. I love your beautiful owl! Im very impressed with how you treated everyone so nice in the store too. Im going to enjoy watching Oaky in more of your videos! ❤
That was hilarious when you said: Love at first sight and Oaky's face expression 😂
I really enjoyed watching this ! Oaky sure love his new friend and I am sure as time goes by she will love Oaky too! Thanks for sharing this with us ! Health and happiness to you all ! 🥰🤗❤❤
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We are making some other fun videos. Love and blessings to you from me and Oaky 🦉💕
No way a prey animal will love a huge animal that usually eats them, that's absolutely ridiculous, poor hamster, it's in a way too small cage too.
That is so funny that sneaky hamster got lost in the car!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol 😂😂😂 Love at first sight as Oaky stares So freaking cute Hi Oaky he's so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful video! Ive never heard of a raptor having a favorite toy outside of a lure. Im working to become a falconer, and I think youre so cool!
❤ to both of you :)
So awesome of you to share your love and knowledge of him
What a nice house
Does Oaky enjoy going out. I love how he is turning his head to take in everything. I think at 1 point he wanted to fly around the store.😂😂He is so calm though. What a beautiful boy!❤
So cool that others got to enjoy being with him! ❤
I can't believe she bought him a live hamster, I thought she meant a toy. Owls are predators and hamsters are prey, I can't believe she's scaring the poor hamster just so her owl can have a prey animal to play with.
Yeah it's weird that nobody's talking about this.
She’s totally buying her owl a delicacy (as a “friend”).
Maybe PetSmart's absolute ridiculous Pollyanna policy of let's starve all predators to death and not allow them to have their natural prey policy could have been an influence here.
She just bought supper

Hi beautiful Oaky, you are a sweetness Owl. Welcome back boy with eyes beautiful and magnetic!! ❤️🦉💋
can we talk about how stylish u are!
perfect girl to own a owl! 💃🦉
Happiness is having a beautiful raptor resting on your shoulder.
Wow, I did not know you could have an owl as a pet. I love owls! Great idea for TH-cam!
Der Hamster steht schon der Angstschweiß auf der Stirn! Voll fies! Eulen 🦉 und Uhus fressen Mäuse 🐁

Hi from new York, nice owl as a pet it's gorgeous 🥰
OK so I thought about it and I came up with Anna. Anna’s are humming birds that enjoy being around oak trees… oaky 🦉 and Anna sitting on an oak tree 🌳 😊❤
That is so cute and clever! Anna ❤
Gorgeous owl.

I'm new to your. Channel I'm very impressed by Oaky
Greetings from South Carolina.
I love okey, he's so cool you guys did a good job raising him.
I love how she says It’s love at first sight and Oaky looking at her like whaaaaaaaaaaaat??? Lol so cute!
You have the patience of a Saint talking & explaining to numerous people about Oaky,
Thats funny.. He's smart and very cute.😊
That hamster 🐹 is huge 😂
It’s huge yes. And it’s just a baby 😮
This is so sad. The hamster has to be so terrified.
Right!!! And she keeps claiming it's never eaten or killed a live animal before but says it killed two of her pet parakeets..?
Its sick
Oakey is so awesome i loved watching this
Have a pair of Barred owls and a pair of hawks around me. They are so awesome.
I saw an owl 1x time in my life it was sitting on my fence near my car and they are huge lol. I saw a white one with circles around it eyes. I was scared at first bc I didn’t know wtf it was lol. It was such magestic looking bird. It was just looking at me lol.
Truly a beautiful 🦉 ❤️ and so 🤓 smart.
Awwww that's wonderful!!!,❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, that was so cool watching you and Oaky at Pet Smart!! And your new hamster is so cute!! How about calling it… Lovie… because you Leslie,are so loving to Oaky and everyone!!!❤️
Shes gonna find his friend missing one day and he Wil have fur chunks hanging from his beak.
She knows that and buys these hamster for prey for her owl and lies about it.
A great visit to the pet smart is a great store.Oaky is so beautiful and has a friend now,the hampster.Thanks, for the video from Morrow Ga.🦉🤎❤️
Omg that owl is amazingly adorable 🥰
It would be a dream come true for me to have an Owl on my shoulder! I wish I could rescue an Owl.
This was really cool🎉thank u for this Iakey us luvving it very much❤❤
Aww I wish i would of been their 🦉❤️
I wish we could meet you too! 🤗
The animals are incredibly fortunate to be held and kissed by such a beautiful lady, your husband or boyfriend must be extremely lucky.
A magnificent owl and beutifull lady 😊
I want to see owl so adorable❤
Nothing like having a friend over for dinner 😊
Omg I love her owl it's soo gorgeous I would love to own an owal like that
Beautiful owl!
It's scary for the mice and hamsters
They know😢😮
Such a beautiful owl. I would love to meet Oakey.
He would love to meet you too
This lady is so beautiful just like Oaty I love them she looks so so cooool
I love your enthusiasm for your pets . Wish I was your neighbor !
Oaky is SOOO sweet to his new hamster 🐹 sibling: he really seems to care:💖🙋🏻♂️🐈💎⭐️
You are so awesome!!! I love your owl!
I swear I mean no disrespect. She kept saying that “the owl has never killed anything live…” and then after “… oh he killed two parakeets….” 😐 I can’t be the only one who caught the controversy of what she just said.
Lol, at Oaky “loving” the hamster. Why is my anxiety being tested?
Oh, probably because that poor hamster was a regurgitated pellet by the next day. Just like the two "pet" parakeets.
Poor thing is probably terrified... sad if the owl sits on/near the cage during the night...
@@isoldejaneholland8370😂😂😂
@@nancyk5203what? It’s his friend. 😂
Those hamsters are huge, I love the bumblebee costume
It seems every exotic pet owner just likes the attention.
It is sad to see someone desire human attention so badly...
Oakey is thinking 🤔 why do you torment me by not letting me eat the food 😂
Trust me, the poor hamster was a regurgitated pellet by the next day.
Yeah I don't understand how she thinks they are going to be friends, the owl will see foid and the poor haster is going to be terrified to beeaten by the bird. But even if they realise that it's not food or the owl is no danger why even take risk in the first place by letting animals thatin nature would be prey ad predator be together (even if the hamster is in the cage), just cruel.
They both have beautiful eyes!
They all are so beautiful, oaky is always so gentle and so precious I just love animals they give you so much love and happiness, Hannah the hamster I love that name for her but you probably have a name as I’m
