Special Parlor Presentation from Indoorable and LisaLassie! A beautiful Poem from MIviewer!

Please enjoy this Fantastic performance, from the inconquerOWLble team of Indoorable and Lisa.. !

Clark is played by Indoorable. Ms. Ellie is played by LisaLassie

Indoorable- The scene opens when “Our Hero” Clark walks across the box after being told it was time to leave. As Clark steps up to the Horkophone he says…
Sorry about the disruption folks, but I always do the last owl song of the season, this year someone told me not to. So I’m going to do my kind of singing with a great partner.

Someone whoooo is a great singer and has taught me how to stand up against other owlets. Somebody whoooo has taught me about the kind of owl I want to be. Ms Ellie the Barn Owl

Indoorable: Now I’ve had the flight of my life,No I never flew like this before,Yes I swear it’s a hoot, I’m just an Owl to you.LisaLassie: Cause I’ve had the flight of my life, And I’m a Barn Owl too,indoorable:
I’ve been horking here so long, And now I’ve finally found some air to set me free.
LisaLassie: We saw the camera on the wall. As we were watched by everyone and OCG,
Now with talons in the skies,There’s no way our ears and eyes will let them free,
So we fly upon our wings,Cause we seem to understand a nearby tree.
Just remember! LisaLassie:
You’re a Barn Owl
indoorable: I can’t catch enough mice
LisaLassie: So I’ll tell you something

indoorable: You’ll need to try twice Because… They’ve had the flight of their lives, No they never flew like that before,

Yes we swear it’s a hoot,

And they’re glad you got to view,

Indoorable: (This is the part where Clark lifts Ellie into the air and the Moderators start to remove chairs and the parlor starts to Dance with other chatters. Start dancing!)
LisaLassie: Yippee!!!!
indoorable: The end

A Poem by MIViewer!!

It has been a year but have no fear,

since Roy & Dale met up here
.
Two families later, many a rabbit & vole
,
Kept all of us wondering if we'd live thru it all!.

Three beautiful owlets ready to fledge

Then Roy drops a juicy rabbit on the ledge

Clark takes the plunge and flies to a palm

while Ellie & Dee stay indoors and warm.

It's a matter of time & these siblings will fly,

we don't know where to, but we'll wave good bye.

Roy & Dale are one dedicated pair,

we know all about the love that they share.

So enjoy the remaining time we have here,

time is short but we don't care,

As there is not doubt they will nest again here!

MiViewer: The end!!

12 barn owl fascinating facts

Discover 12 fascinating facts about the beautiful barn owl.
1 The barn owl was voted Britain’s favourite farmland bird by the public in an RSPB poll in July 2007.
2 Historically, the barn owl was Britain’s most common owl species, but today only one farm in about 75 can boast a barn owl nest.
3 Barn owls screech, not hoot (that’s tawny owls).
4 The barn owl can fly almost silently. This enables it to hear the slightest sounds made by its rodent prey hidden in deep vegetation while it’s flying up to three metres overhead.
5 The barn owl’s heart-shaped face collects sound in the same way as human ears. Its hearing is the most sensitive of any creature tested.
6 Barn owls are non-territorial. Adults live in overlapping home ranges, each one covering approximately 5,000 hectares. That’s a staggering 12,500 acres or 7,100 football pitches!
7 It’s not uncommon for barn owl chicks in the nest to feed each other. This behaviour is incredibly rare in birds.
8 In order to live and breed, a pair of barn owls needs to eat around 5,000 prey items a year. These are mainly field voles, wood mice, and common shrews.
9 Though barn owls are capable of producing three broods of five to seven young each year, most breed only once and produce, on average, only two and a half young. 29 per cent of nests produce no young at all.
10 91 per cent of barn owls post-mortemed were found to contain rat poison. Some owls die as a direct result of consuming rodenticides, but most contain sub-lethal doses. The effects of this remain unknown.
11 In a typical year, around 3,000 juvenile barn owls are killed on Britain’s motorways, dual carriageways and other trunk roads. That’s about a third of all the young that fledge.
12 Everyone can help barn owls. Leave a patch of rough grassland to grow wild thus creating habitat for voles, erect a super-safe deep nest box, volunteer for your local barn owl group, switch to non-toxic rodent control
