From the “Harry Potter” movie, “Order Of The Phoenix” comes the Snowy White Owl. Hedwig the magical owl makes a spectacular pet for Harry. Although Hedwig spends much of her time in a bird cage in Harry’s room, real owls do not make good pets because they need room to take flight and hunt for their unique food. A male snowy owl like Hedwig would fly for miles to hunt lemmings and capture ducks in midair in its native arctic tundra.
