What kind of figure do you think of as an owl? I'm the pet of the wizard "Harry Potter", the white owl "Hedwig". Ever since I watched that movie, I've been longing for that smart girl who carries letters. I wish I could use owls and magic like that ...
Under the writer who tends to dream like that, there is information that "there is a cafe where you can meet real owls". Even if you're a witch, your dream of using an owl may come true! I have to go out immediately!
"Hmm, did you call me?"
■ Isn't Tsukishima just "Monja"?
Tsukishima before 14:00 on weekdays. A procession that suddenly appeared on a peaceful street corner. Beyond that is a sliding door with closed curtains. Hmmm, it's suspicious at all. Maybe a secret society?
It doesn't look like a monjayaki
It is said that this shop, which opened in October last year, was originally a dry cleaner, but when I approached the curtain ...
It's an owl!
Yes, this is the cafe "Owl Noie" where you can come in contact with real owls.
The shop is open at 14:00 and is replaced every hour when it is crowded. It seems that the number of people that can be put in at one time is about eight. About 15 minutes ago, a clerk will come out and sort out the times at 14:00 and 15:00. Most of the customers are women, probably because it's a weekday. Or maybe there are many women who like owls. I noticed that there were about 15 people in the line.
■ "Owl Noie" opens!
At 14:00, the sliding door opened and I was guided to the store.
Wow! There is an owl ... Here and there. I'm still on a waist-high fence! Other customers also cheered "Wow" and "Kyaa".
"Customers have come today too."
I'm curious about the owls, but first I ordered a drink. "Owl Noie" is a one-drink system, with soft drinks of 1,000 yen and alcohol of 1,200 yen. Next, the precautions in the store are explained. To summarize briefly, the content is "Don't make an owl do something that people don't like."
You can also drink alcohol!
Free time after the explanation. Everyone can freely interact with the owls in the store. There were 7 large and small birds from adults to chicks in the store on that day. Some young chicks were said to be untouched because they did not have antibodies.
It's an adult face, but it's still a baby
The author who has kept a Java sparrow for a long time. However, this is my first experience with an owl at a close distance. Stroke while staring at the eyes like a glass ball. Owl feathers, mofumofu ...
"Oh, do you feel good?"
■ Let's play with owls
After taking a picture and stroking for a while, everyone seems to have a desire (?) To "wear an owl". If you ask the clerk, you can put it anywhere you like!
Hand riding Mofumofu
As an aside, the author also has a strong admiration for carrying animals on his shoulders, such as "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." Therefore, today, don't hesitate to pick up your favorite child and go to "shoulder"!
First of all, Konohazuku, who is small but has a cute and crisp appearance. A warm and comfortable weight. As you approach your cheeks, you will feel the fluffy feathers. Enchanted by looking in the mirror. cute. It's just cute.
The author's recommendation. A feeling of small size is irresistible.
And what about owls? Big and brave Bengal. It's really heavy, but it gives you a sense of security that it will help you if you are attacked by an enemy. Everyone is really quiet and I really miss people. Other customers also enjoyed putting it on their hands and shoulders here and there.
The angle of the neck is amazing
■ What kind of people will come?
By the way, what kind of people are the customers who spend an hour together? There were so many combinations with friends, couples, old couples, mothers and daughters. I don't think everyone likes birds in general, but some people say, "I don't like pigeons, but I like owls!" "I want to live with an owl, but Danna is in the way ..." is a joke? Was also flying around. Anyway, "No villain for owl lovers". By the time the hour has passed, we will be able to talk to each other through the owls.
No one sits
It seems that there were many people who visited the store for the first time on this day, but it is quite natural for regular customers to visit the store once a week. In the past, there were people who went there three days a week and customers who came all the way from Chicago. The clerk's words, "This is more like an owl-loving community than a cafe. Everyone enjoys standing for 55 minutes and drinks all at once in the remaining 5 minutes."
Hmmm, by the way, this was a cafe ... The drink served with plastic wrap is very delicious, but I forgot because I was busy with owls. In consideration of this situation, the shop seems to have decided not to put ice in it.
It wraps the drink so you can immerse yourself in the owl with confidence.
By the way, owl goods are sold and owl movies are also broadcast in the store.
A wide variety of owl goods!
Owl collection gathered from customers
And I thought I just loved owls, but before I knew it, questions about "how to keep" were flying around. The author is also nailed to a rare chick of 700,000 yen. what will you do? Will you buy it?
Ural x Mori hybrid. It ’s a rare chick, but it ’s kind of sleepy.
"I'm still small, so I can't stand sleepy ..."
The other owls in the store also start to drowsy after a while. Owls sleep when they want to sleep like cats. It's so comfortable that I'm going to get tangled and fall asleep ...
Lovely sleeping face
By the way, one hour later, the customers who leave the store with a uniformly satisfied look. When I immediately investigated how to keep owls, I was upset by the fact that "food: frozen rats and quails". Hmm ... Would you like to go to the store again for the time being?
