When my husband and I were in Japan last year, we visited an Owl Cafe in Tokyo.  Not exactly the same as you are thinking, but was a mixture of an interesting and for me, sad experience, to see these majestic birds confined.  They all seemed to be well taken care and you could pay to feed them.  You could also have a drink and snack.
There was also a couple of small falcons. 

 What strikes me as emergent in these relatively contemporary nature books is not the acceptance of the continuing concept of the interconnections between all synthetic echelons of nature, heralded in the writings of previous decades, but by the newer notion that our need to compartmentalize as a tenant of scientific inquiry and experimentation in order to publish findings, obtain funding and achieve peer acceptance interferes with establishing a unified theory of how life really works. 
 
Indeed, trying to understand the entangled world (Entangled Life), from the unseen to the more tangible weight of giants, is virtually impossible when the organ of intelligence is under incarceration by the enchantment of boundaries themselves, in all their forms. The idea (from the book) that LSD, or any other mind-altering compound could somehow knock-down those boundaries and in so doing reveal a sweet global comprehension of how life has sanctioned a fluid continuity between species just underscores the desperation scientists must endure to continue their investigations. We safely grasp cause-and-effect as a linear equation when life may not function in a Newtonian fashion and may more closely resemble a mobius strip with inherent plasticity to boot. Since a study of the universe, from quantum mechanics to space time (which may ultimately erase the needed theory of dark energy and dark matter), also seems to function by magical rules and incomprehensible forays that similarly boogie outside the boundaries of our understanding, why can’t life be as intricate, as “not-as-we-know-it” and may therefore continue to confound man’s attempt to grasp the meaning of life.  Heck, if the Monty Python team couldn’t come to a satisfactory answer to that question then, under rising Fascism and Donald Trump, we may certainly not realize natural enlightenment by the next long weekend.
I just started Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake.  Must be a stage name ... so cool.
 
 

Picture of one moth (taken yesterday) among several more moths of the same species all clinging to a wall.  I wish I could claim that their collective positions signified a cryptic message of some sort so that I could ask TransAtlanticGoose to create a new folder:  The X-Files.  Wouldn't that be cool?


Hickory Tussock moth

Great.  Will be interested to hear what you think.
