My Experience with Owls By Martin Hilton Whyalia, South Australia March 1998. Introduction Keeping and breeding Owls in captivity is quite popular in Europe. In Australia the keeping of Owls is mainly restricted to Fauna Parks, Zoos and Wildlife Carers.
Owls are fascinating birds with strange sounding calls and come in many shapes and sizes.
I hope this article will be of interest. Legal Requirements in South Australia A rescue permit must be obtained from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to keep or care for any injured or rescued wildlife in South Australia. Mine are all long term captives on rescue permits or aviary bred so are okay in 25mm square wire aviaries. The aviaries are four meters long by 1.2 meters wide by 2.4 meters high. Each has a 1.2 meter corrugated iron shelter.
