Roo (Boobook Owl)

​

Date of hatch: May 2018

Temperament: Energetic, a nibbler and a bit of a diva

​

Roo, named after Australia's kangaroo, is our youngest and most excitable of all our birds. He is always eager to get going, impressing everyone with his hawk-like flight being quick and agile.

He is currently learning how to refine his agility into a skill he can really show off. He is also great at being handled and loves to meet new people.
