I have only read
but never said Hello to an owl café
where you can go personal with owls-
in an almost surreal chamber filled with soft music
you could
feel their soft head,
let them perch on your shoulder or arms,
drink tranquility along with coffee-
like their wild bro or sis
they can turn their heads almost all the way round-
they are far sighted-
they have super hearing power-
they have sharp, shiny talon
they have the same velvety downs
to muffle noise
to ensure a silent flight-
What they have more is-
a name like Peanut or Butterfly or whatever
given by a human,
and a thin string tied to their feet,
and sleepy eyes,
and broken dream of wilderness-
they are in the café
to heal a stressed human heart-
(I read an article about owl cafés of Tokyo where owls are used as healing agents to save weary people from mayhem outside.)
