Welcome guest

Chocolate - The European Eagle Owl



Meet Chocolate, the newest and youngest member of the World Owl Trust's 'Meet the Bird' display team.  Only a few weeks old, he's seen here helping the gardeners by eating weeds!

Chocolate will be fully grown by 12 weeks old and is already here, 6 weeks with those huge feet!

He can be seen every day during the 'Meet the Birds' display by the World Owl Trust here at Muncaster Castle at 2.30pm (weather permitting) and will soon be in his own avery.

At the moment however, he is being looked after by the team at the World Owl Centre and is growing fast!

Come and meet Chocolate and the rest of the 180+ owls at the centre here at Muncaster.
