About ,JIJI is an Indian eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis).
Despite his powerful build, he’s calm and unusually gentle with smaller owls.
His closest friend is Alto, a barn owl—an affectionate,
cross-species bond that delights first-time visitors.
JIJI is well socialized with people and, when conditions are right,
takes part in short, staff-supervised flight demonstrations.
Look for his deep orange eyes, bold ear tufts, and steady,
confident wingbeats. He’s an easy owl for beginners to watch:
enjoy the quiet details—slow blinks, careful head tilts,
and soft feather ruffling—at close range.
To keep him comfortable, please observe quietly,
keep a respectful distance, and avoid flash photography.
