And behold, after 10 years, history repeats itself. But she does not have Clodoveo\u2019s yellow eyes,\u00a0 his wild spirit and his lightning swift \u00a0movements. Covered with white down, she seems to have fallen from a cloud and has two black, intense and very gentle eyes. She has no family, no name but is very hungry.<\/p>\n<p>There is fresh liver in the fridge and to form the fibrous casing \u00a0\u00a0around it,\u00a0 the fine hairs from Daphne\u2019s soft coat will do very nicely. And so, in this way, my hands recover the ability to prepare \u00a0the tiny morsels of the right size and the infinite patience needed to feed them to her\u2026<\/p>\n<p>For now, she can stay in Clodoveo\u2019s little cage\u00a0 even if, unfledged, it is too big for her.\u00a0 She has terrible claws which she never uses, and as the days go by,, I discover that she likes to be stroked with a wing feather; she smacks her beak in greeting and purrs like a cat when one strokes her\u00a0 at the junction of her wings. Suddenly,\u00a0 in a way that is both abundant and\u00a0 unusual, even her food rains down from Heaven for her. A cuckoo, deceived\u00a0 by his reflection ,\u00a0 flies\u00a0 into \u00a0the window and dies instantly; a flock of birds collides with my car, the cats bring small mice as gifts, small bones, \u00a0feathers, and skin, all indispensable\u00a0 for the growth of a wild, nocturnal,\u00a0 bird of prey.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1215\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_0483.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1215\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1215\" src=\"http:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_0483-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Incontri Ravvicinati\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_0483-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_0483-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1215\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Close Encounters<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During the first week she keeps me company in the office.\u00a0\u00a0 She is very sociable with the other inhabitants of the house.

She obviously needs more food and a few\u00a0 more days\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But if you have decided to take care of this little nocturnal hunter,\u00a0 you must have realized that you need to give her your full attention\u00a0 and to be ready to seize the right moment.She gets fed at least three times a day, \/nestling into her little olive branch and \u00a0observing with curiosity my every move. In the mornings she likes to eat at dawn when she is awake and alert, and my self-denial, in those early days,\u00a0\u00a0 drove me\u00a0 to strip \u00a0the whole kitchen of fibrous bits and pieces,\u00a0 to prepare her meal then put her to bed. Time later to think of coffee and breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Now I am the first one to breakfast whilst she looks on\u00a0 intrigued, and listens to the radio,\u00a0 making cooing noises.\u00a0 She produces an infinite range of\u00a0 strange rhymes and pulls all sorts of amusing faces. She has glabrous eyelidss,\u00a0 made up with violet eyeshadow, that she continually \u00a0raises and lowers\u00a0 in turn, as though she were winking and a third eye ,as thin as a veil, that every now and then c,louds her glance.\u00a0 I do not believe that I will manage to understand all her language before setting her free into the park once she reaches adulthood!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m also thing of setting up \u00a0a nesting place for her, at least in the\u00a0\u00a0 early days, since, compared with the short-eared owl,\u00a0 she seems to me to be a real lazybones.\u00a0 Even eating takes her ages. She gets distracted, takes her claw with her beak instead of the food, just for the fun of doing so\u00a0 and \u201cnibbles\u201d at it delicately.\u00a0 Often it is only a question of waiting for her to finish the preceding piece, when she stretches, or twists her head around 180 degress to groom her feathers. Difficult for me to realize when she\u2019s had enough until she actually spits out her food and lowers her head to be caressed a bit.<\/p>\n<p>The dogs at my feet, at that stage, are more than ready to scoop up any morsels she rejects. I read somewhere that nocturnal birds of prey\u00a0 enjoy bathing so I left\u00a0 a basin of lukewarm water in the sink\u00a0 but so far\u00a0 she has not availed herselfof it.<\/p>\n<p>In the same way I discovered that they rarely drink water since they produce it directly from the meat that they eat.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1221\" style=\"width: 276px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1221\" class=\"wp-image-1221 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160523_073257-Colazioni-differenti-291x300.jpg\" alt=\"Colazioni differenti\" width=\"266\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160523_073257-Colazioni-differenti-291x300.jpg 291w, https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160523_073257-Colazioni-differenti-992x1024.jpg 992w, https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160523_073257-Colazioni-differenti.jpg 1875w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1221\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Different Breakfast!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1220\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160522_192845-Nuovo-nido.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1220\" class=\"wp-image-1220 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160522_192845-Nuovo-nido-300x196.jpg\" alt=\"Primo Nido\" width=\"420\" height=\"274\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160522_192845-Nuovo-nido-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.borgospante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/20160522_192845-Nuovo-nido-1024x669.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">First nest<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The 2 0\u2019clock meal I more difficult because Minerva lies, like a beached whale, in her den and is fast asleep.\u00a0 Maybe in the next few days, I wull cut out this meal \u00a0but for now she seems to need it so I do not feel I can.
