I'm not sure that I would want him grabbing out of my fingers! Like a magician, now you see it, now you don't.

But if you noticed, the owl really did know when to stop....not like too many of us!

but I forget about animals like lions and other prey animals that have to eat until they are gorged when food is available. Maybe that is what we do. Never know when food might be scarce----yeah, right.
