- police
- owl
- seller
- buyer
since it can be any combination of these, you have 15 possibilities (excluding the one where none of them is on drugs).

It's good advice.
Be sober when you're paying for hooters.

The only time it would seem like a good idea to me is whilst under the influence
Smoke meth, get hyperfixated on training owl to do dumb stuff

Who's on drugs, the police, the buyer, the stranger or the owl?

Yes

For no particular reason I had thought the owl would be more expensive than that.

Selling a bird for less than a few thousand is definitely not worth it. You don't want to fuck with wild birds in the US. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act is one of the oldest federal conservation laws in the US and it's pretty brutal. Just picking up a feather off the ground can lead to fines. They probably won't go after you unless it's something especially egregious like a bald eagle feather. But selling an owl caught in the US without a permit is definitely enough to get the attention of the Feds.

When dealing with bird law you should consult an expert in bird law.

Truth is, owls make terrible pets. They apparently get SO attached to their owner that whenever they're left alone, they'll start destroying shit, plucking out their own feathers, etc. So yeah, they're cute as all day, but do an owl a favor...
pipeuptopipedown t1_iw27g1h wrote
They also need a LOT of room to fly around, and can't really be housebroken. I'd totally keep an owl box in my yard if I had one, but that's about as close a relationship as I would want. Not everything "cute" has to be a pet!

Parrots do the same thing. They bond with you, and think you're their mate.

Buying a goat while drunk and high is probably not even illegal in many places. This advice really comes down to owls being wise but not streetwise. Telling someone to cut down on their drugs is good wise advice but telling them while they are off their rocks will just ruin their vibes, better to wait until they are coming down and feel like crap. I advice buying a parrot while tripping balls, now that's fun.

Ya, cops will say things like that while on drugs
