A family of Great Horned Owls made a nest site in a old brick building, That brick building was the old Lithia Brewing Company in downtown West Bend, WI.
The birds made home to a old air vent and had 3 owlets that year. The building is now tore down, The birds have moved on. I was lucky enough to watch them grow up from small white fuzz balls to flying out into the new world.

I got this stuff when I went to the Smoky Mountains. Seems it could do the job here!

Glad to add some laughs to your day!
I recall it seemed very serviceable for grocery store coffee. The bags all have different wide eyed animals like a squirrel, hippo, donkey, and pufferfish.
America needs more fun packaging. I'm always jealous when I go to the Asian mega market and all the packages look so happy!

Good one!
Anyone looking to meet some raptors in person should check their local
brewery'swhoery's events page. Once it gets to spring/summer, so many rescues will have Hoo 'n Brew raptor events at them where you can see some neat birds of prey up close.ReCursing@lemmings.world · 2 pts · 1y
Drunken Raptors sounds like an awful-but-amazing take of Jurassic Park!

Not sure if that's exactly how that works. Bring a sacrificial hat just in case to guard your scalp.

Doesn't look abandoned to me.

If they nest there a few more year, I think they can file for the deed and take legal ownership!
If they get the brewing operation set up and running again, then I will be completely impressed.

Find a bear to sublet to. Call it the owlbear brewery. Rake in the nerd money.
