Hi there everyone. Me and my children went to a local gala today and there were these beautiful birds of prey. I was so mad with myself when i got home for not asking what they were. as the names werent ones id remember. Well we had our pictures taken and i was wondering if anyone could help me in identifying them. I would be so grateful as my daughter would like to take the pictures in to school on monday and show her teacher as they are currently learning all about birds of prey. Im not sure where these birds are from, so im sorry i cannot help on that one, but here are the pictures...

Heres me and my daughter with the owl...i was told it was fully grown, although it was so small. It had yellow eyes and was grey/white with a little black. and tiny ears
