That bird reminds me of my Great Horned Owl.

Never put a hood on it though. Was more of a pet.

It perched on a welder's glove. Release it and it would fly to a dark place in a nearby tree. Would release a mouse, it would swoop down, grab, and gulp down the mouse. Then fly back to the glove all happy. Liked having it's head scratched. Would half close it's eyes and chirp kinda like a cat purring.
