Owl and the entourage


Burung Hantu : Directly translates to Ghost Bird, or owl in the Malay language.

Few days back, Uncle Jalil caught a baby owl perching on his barn house near the retreat.It aint' exactly a cute lil cherub at all when we say its a baby. This would probably be one of the freakiest Owls I've ever seen,I bet if any UFOs ever catch it under its beaming human sucking lights,they be communicating in to it with their native tongue.In a blink of an eye,its slitty almond shaped eyes could transforms into a huge 20cent coin when its aggravated.
Seeing how his Magnificent storm stalks been reduced to bald headed looking vultures,we finally convinced him to release the stressed out bird. When we open the cage doors,all the owl did was squiggle itself to the opposite end,after a few nasty probe,the owl again dodged to another side.By then Uncle Jalil was getting a lil impatient,with one flip and a few shakes,the baby clumsily plopped onto the ground.Before the release, I painted a stere0typical romantic picture of freeing the bird,seeing it soar freely in my head... But i guess not with this lil guy. The highly amused Uncle Jalil commented,Day time Bird blind,that's why so dumdum!
