We have great horned owls in our area and sometimes they nest in our eukalyptus trees. When they do, we usually get one of the young in our yard before it is really ready to fly. Depending on the age of the little one (and that is a figurative term) Pat will put it up in the tree or over in the neighbors field (no dogs there). We have an agreement with Mom and Dad (also with the red-tailed hawks) that we take care of their babies and they leave our cats alone. So far so good.
