Okay birdy, here's the deal: claws off my squirrels, and you and me can get along nicely. Go after them, and I turn your little feathery neck further than even an owl would like.

An eagle owl once chased me out of the entrance to an abandoned mine in a forest in Osnabrück. That bird was not small, and it was angry, I could tell that from that it returned and came back after me for a second try, then returned into the cave, so it did not flee, but definitely defended what its consideredd to be its territory or home.

I was absolutely unexpecting something like that happening: to meet a wild and angry big owl in such a small forest in a cave during daylight was something I simply did not had on my radar screen. I mean, "wilderness" in Germany usually is nothing but a bigger park.

Both birds ended the unwelcomed meeting unharmed and without injuries.
