Wikipedia informs me that one family of hungry barn owls can consume more than 3000 rodents in a nesting season. This sounds to me like a most efficient solution to the ‘rat race’ problem; and definitely sounds easier than finding an accomplished pipe-player who could entice the verminous creatures.
Now here are a couple of wise-owl quotes..
Owl wisdom – I: ‘Owlways remain optimistic, and, do not get abusive in the face of adversity–because owl language doesn’t solve any problem.’
Owl wisdom – II: ‘The owl has knowledge, and knowledge itself has owl.’ (kn’owl’edge)–Verse 22 of Holy Book of Owls (HBO).
