Argo and Zizi have joined the team!

We have welcomed two wonderful new arrivals to our Centre this year. A young Vermiculated Eagle Owl named Argo, and a young African Wood Owl named Zizi. Both are fantastic characters and our staff have really enjoyed starting to work with them and getting to know each owl’s quirks and personalities! Argo is bold and curious. He’s a little flying machine when he gets going (a machine who hasn’t quite learned how to work the brakes just yet! :P) He’s fast, nimble and always very eager! Argo’s sole setting seems to be 100mph all day, every day!

Zizi is of a more ‘chilled out’ nature, yet still very inquisitive. Zizi always flies fantastically, but his flight style is different to Argo’s - a little less direct with some impressive banking as he comes in to land. Every single time after he lands, though, Zizi takes a moment to stand on one leg to survey his ‘kingdom’ before readying for his next flight. Standing on one leg is a sign of an owl at ease, Zizi likes to people-watch in between flights during our displays.

Not only are Argo and Zizi new additions to our Display Team this year, but both of these young owls also now feature on our ‘Sponsor-An-Owl’ page here on our Shop website. That’s for anyone who might like to gain a little more insight into these youngsters’ characters through their Sponsorship profiles! Whether you are interested in becoming a Sponsor yourself, or considering it as a unique, personal gift for someone close to you; becoming a Sponsor is a wonderful way to support our owls at the Scottish Owl Centre!
