Kelly posted two videos and a photo showing the encounter on September 8. In one clip she is seen feeding the stunning owl who swoops down to retrieve a treat she has for it.
In the second video, the owl is perched on her hand. Kelly turns to it and says, “You are great.”
Falconry is described as an intricate training technique that takes place between bird lovers and birds, with their human companions working towards a deep understanding of the bird’s natural behaviours.
It is described as a partnership, not as domestication.
Falconers don’t tame birds, they build a relationship on mutual reliance.
Kelly lost her father, British rocker Ozzy Osbourne, on July 22 at Harefield Hospital in west London. He was 76.
Ozzy’s official cause of death was a heart attack. The musician suffered from coronary artery disease and had been living with Parkinson’s disease for years.
Ozzy completed a reunion tour with his original band Black Sabbath just weeks before his death. While on tour, Kelly shared a special moment with her dad.
Her partner Sid Wilson proposed to her in front of Ozzy and mum Sharon while the group were backstage at the band’s concert date in Birmingham England.
A public procession was held for Ozzy Osbourne on July 30, with his wife Sharon, 72, Kelly and her siblings Jack, Aimee and Louis walking alongside his coffin as it made it’s way through the streets of Ozzy’s hometown of Birmingham.
The family viewed the many tributes that had been left for Ozzy on the famous Black Sabbath Bridge.
