The Owl Who Liked Sitting on Caesar: Living with a… by Martin Windrow
The sweet, well written story of Martin living with Mumble, a tawny owl, in England. He covers the history of this bird, it's anatomy and provides colorful stories of this birds personality and habits as he shares 15 years with Mumble. They lived in both the city of London in a 7th floor flat and out in a countryside home is Sussex. Very sweet! I enjoyed it thoroughly!
