Little Skye has died

of old age last week, she was 9 years old.

I was so sad when I heard that yesterday as I have been visiting her for years.

She was so sweet and playful, one could actually cuddle her.

She sat in her tree at the entrance and loved the attention she got. I still have a lump in my throat :-(

Aaw! Diana , so sad, she will be missed as she occupied such a prominent position near the entrance . Such a beautiful capture to cherish and remember her by! fav

Sweet Skye!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I can't imagine cuddling an owl or that an owl would allow itself to be cuddled.
Maybe you will immortalize her when she makes the Top Twenty this week.
I am truly sorry for your sorrow at her passing! ❤️

[Ann H. LeFevre]

RIP Skye- you were a credit to your owl kingdom and a beauty to be sure. I love the background you chose her- it just makes this beautiful owl pop off the background. Excellent tribute and shot.
