Understanding Owls
written by Florence Pennilow
Owls are extremely useful and rewarding companions that many witches or wizards keep throughout their lives. Children as young as 11 are commonly gifted owls when starting school away from home. Though a lovely friend, companion, and link to home, it is also a large responsibility. With the recent rise in mistreated and abandoned owls, it is important to propagate information on exactly what it means to acquire an owl, their unique needs and qualities, and simply learn about these majestic, intelligent creatures we in the wizarding world so depend upon.

Barn Owls
Chapter 2
Barn Owls are one of the more docile species of owl, and are well equipped to deal with most climes, and especially well adapted to working odd hours. They cope perfectly with every day letters, newspapers, and moderate parcels. Being quite small and surprisingly well camouflaged for such a colourful owl, they are also popular for more private deliveries, and are the number one choice for love letter delivery.
The female barn owl is darker in colour, slightly larger, and speckled, as shown above. The male will have an entirely white chest and be much paler.
