This blog is supposed to be long. But I can't concentrate while my brother is at the back watching the television, because I can't Concentrate!
Anyway, It's holiday today, and it's tantamount to rest day. After eating our lunch, Me and my brothers played volleyball in our front yard. Since it's about to rain, we decided to go inside the house.
While I'm watching the television, an unfamiliar noise in the backyard lingered. I became curious and checked it out. It's our village security guard talking to my brothers.
He (security guard) caught an owl. Since my father breeds birds, good thing we have a spare cage for the poor owl's temporary home.
The owl's right eye is bleeding. According to the security guard, he caught the owl while it was beaten and about to be killed by four crows.
here are the photos of the owl:

| I have a guess that this owl is a Philippine Hawk Owl |
My youngest brother, Nico, requested that we keep the owl as our pet. My dad partly agreed, but he also suggested that we must surrender it to authorities.
I am not a pet lover, but I'm an enthusiast of animals, a part of me wishes the owl to stay on the cage, while the other part wishes for the captive to be set free.
I don't know if my opinion has bearing to my dad, but because of a documentary, I recommended to him that after the owl recovered we'll set him/her free.
Why does this incident significant to me?
Kuwago ng Pahiyas (Owl of Pahiyas), so far, is my favorite documentary. It's by Howie Severino.

This day is unusual, not because of the holiday, but because of our unusual visitor. Now, you decide for us. Should we let our visitor go? or make him/her stay for good?
