I am an Owl!

Greetings and salutations!


Welcome to RP Nation, where Roleplay is our business.


You've found us, congratulations for choosing the best RP site on the whole intertubes, we're glad you're here and a part of the expanding universe that is RP Nation. Also, now you're officially one of the cool kids.


Before you being your quest to becoming one of the old hats here at RPN, please do take a second and take a look at the site rules. You can find them here: INFO - Official Site Rules | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum.


Unlike the Pirate code, they aren't more like suggestions but rules that we take a bit seriously. If, however, you've got a few pieces of eight you'd like to swing our way, we're always more than happy to take it. (I said, the rules weren't suggestions, never said we weren't piratey mate).


Once you've had a glance over the rules there's more information to be had here: Site Questions & Information | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum. You can find something there to answer just about any question you might have.


Now then, I know that you have to answers that you're wanting answered now and the first is, you can join any RP that is open. You can find the different RP genres here: Roleplays | RpNation.com - Best Roleplay Forum


They're set up by genre so if you're looking for that Belgariad fandom RP (sorry, none yet exists here) then you'll know you aren't going to be looking in the futuristic genre. Each genre has an interest check at the top of the page and you can peruse this to see if anyone is wanting to create an RP.


If you are trolling the RPs and you just gotta make your own futuristic version of the Elenium, then you can pick the genre (future or fandom? I don't know!) and create an interest check. In the interest check you can tell the whole world about your RP and what you want to do with it. If you get enough people to say Aye! then you create your RP.


If you have any questions, issues, or concerns, don't hesitate to get in touch with either the moderators of your forum (the genre), the Super moderators, or even the admin staff. You can do that here: Site Questions & Information


If you have any questions you need to address to me, please tag me in your comments as I don't always get to every single response in every welcome thread and I end up missing a lot of questions. You can do that by using the @ before my handle.


Again, welcome to RPN and happy RPing.

I'm not an owl, but I am a falcon, does that count?


Anyway, welcome to RPN! I'm Kestrel, but you can call me Kes if you want. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Enjoy your stay!
 
Yes. I love owls. My favorites are burrowing owls and barn owls.

gotta say the little owl is my fave but i think burrowing owls are bad ass i guess u can be an honorary member of the owl brotherhood xD
 
Yay! I used to work at a local raptor rehabilitation center. One of my favorite birds was a little burrowing owl named Dug. He was the first bird I handled there.
 
Awesome i have handled owls before but never for long periods of time or as a pet but i would love to have an owl as a pet but i would feel cruel puttign it in a cage so i would let it fly away xD

Instead of a pet, I'd be more interested in rehabbing wild ones, and then releasing them. That's what the center was for, but some of the birds, like Dug, couldn't be released because of their injuries. Those stayed at the center and we used for education. We'd educate people in the community about them, especially because the all eight of our resident birds had been injured due to being hit by cars.
 
wow thats bad i hope the owls are ok i just love everything to do with owls basically not as a pet i think sanctuary's for animals are great

It was great. I was there for 4 years. Unfortunately, the birds have since passed away, and the refuge closed.
 
awww thats a shame i guess owls dont have the longest life span then at least you were able to have that awesome experience with the owls

Yeah. All the birds lived a really long time, much longer than was usual even in captivity. Two had a stroke, two more got cancer, etc. It was still hard though.

On the subject of birds, have you seen a Vanga before?
 
I just looked them up. I think they look familiar. I may have a picture or entry in one of my bird books. They're so pretty!

They all came from one species, and they ARE ONLY found on Madagascar. My favorite is the blue-helmet Vanga.

Speaking of birds... did you know there is a spider named after David Bowie @Kestrel ?

He was such a good boy. No, I didn't. I try to avoid spiders. *shudders*
