Can anyone keep owls?
In short yes, but because they can does not always mean that they should. Before purchasing an owl the following should be considered:
Owls require a large aviary to enable them to keep fit and mentally stimulated.
Owls can live for 20-25 years.
They require whole animals to eat in order to keep them healthy (including bones and fur/feathers) so you will need a freezer for their food.
They are very messy and their aviaries will need regular cleaning.
Owls can be noisy, especially at night, so near nieghbours are not always a good idea.
Lastly, some species require a license to keep, and you must ensure that you have proof of your owls captive-bred roots as it is illegal to keep wild owls in captivity unless they are disabled and even then they must not be shown in public.

It is illegal to keep owls without special permits in most countries.
As far as I know you need a liscence.
