This book is the fruit of years of observation and study of the snowy owl in captivity in the nordic nocturnal birds of prey center, NaturalÕMente in Ulldecona (Spain). Our objective was to better understand the problems that this bird faces in a captive environment and in climactic conditions that are very different from those of its habitat. These are not minor difficulties. A knowledge of their life in the wild is essential to an understanding of the behavior and physiology of the animal.
It is now time for me to share all this work with the purpose of improving the living conditions of this maginficient bird in captivity and help its owners understand it better, and be consciously aware of the pressures it is subject to so far from its habitat.
