Owls in the family. By:FarleyMowat Slide by: Katelyn #17
Chapter 1 In the beginning of this chapter Billy and Bruce are looking for owls nests, so they can get some owls eggs because they want a pet owl. They don’t find any, but they do find a crows nest and Bruce climbs the tree to get the eggs. When he climbed and got the eggs, he had to put them in his mouth to carry them down. Bruce slipped and fell, smashing the eggs. They saw a Great horned owl but no nest. Soon after that, Billy found a owl nest. They deicided to come back the next day.
Chapter 2 Billy’s dad doesn’t want a owl because it will eat all his other pets. But after he thinks about it, he decides that a owl might eat all his other pets. On a Sunday afternoon he met Bruce and Mr. Miller at Mr. Miller’s house. Mr. Miller climbs up and a owl takes his hat.Mr.Miller built a blind, which is a tent in a tree, with a camera. The owl wrecks the blind.Mr.Miller says that there are three baby owls in the nest.
Chapter 3 Billy and Bruce are trying to think of ways to get the owls out of the tree. Bruce says he could get his dad to shoot the old owl, but Billy says that that would not be fair.One night there is a really big storm called a Chinook and Billy hopes that the owls are ok.In the morning they find that the nest is blown out of the tree, and two dead baby owls are on the ground.Then they find a 3rd baby owl that is still alive.
Chapter 3 The owl was as big as a chicken, and he was very cold. Billy tried to pick him up but, the owl spread his wings and hissed at them. But he wasn't strong enough and fell on his face. When Billy touched him he hunched down , because he thought that Billy was going to hurt him. Murray gave him some meat from his sandwich to eat. When they left the owl followed them. The owl bit mutt’s nose. Billy names the owl Wol.
Chapter 4 Billy brings Wol into the house and thinks he locks the door, but Wol gets out and scares the maid whose name is Ophelia(Offy for short). She leaves and never comes back. He and his dad make a cage out of chicken wire around a tree stump. One Tuesday he is biking and he sees two big kids dropping stones into a barrel. He went over to see, and what he saw the boys thought was fun, but he did not.
Chapter 4 • Billy brings the owl home and his dad lets him keep it.
