Hi

As I posted earlier, Hedwig was one of 
my favourite characters.
I don't have an owl as a pet, of course, 
but I remarked Harry didn't need 
instructions concerning how to care for 
his pet: i mean, what to do if the owl 
is ill, how to keep fleas, ... away, ... 
I mean, everything seems so easy in the 
hp-books concerning how to care for the 
pets. Even Hermione never mentioned 
Crookshanks had fleas, or having to 
visit a ???healer, ...
At Hogwarts, you can study care for 
magical creatures, but there's no lesson 
concerning how to care for owls or other 
pets.

More info about owls you can find on

If you want to answer, please, do so 
off-list, because I only receive special 
notices.
Best
Katty
