i have an owl (i have license too) but i want to free him?

my owl is a grear horned owl, his name is horny and hes 2 years old. i found him in my garden and i took him to the vet, the vet was gonne stay with the bird to free him but i didnt belive him so i took him home. my grandpa is a zoologist and he got me a licence for keeping the owl. he is living happilly with me but i think he wants to go. i wanna leave him in my garden but i think the stupid neighbords are gonne kill him because they think owls are evil (theyre so much like that) i live in phoeniz az and do you know where can i leave him. i want to leave him in the dessert but i think he is gonne die, i dont wanna give it to grandpa because hes giving it to the zoo, i dont wanna call the bird control because once they came to my house and yell at my face for keeping horny (they didnt know i had licence)

What type of license did you get that allowed you to keep the owl? If it is a license to keep him for educational purposes, or for display (as in a zoo), then it would be illegal for you to free the bird without going through the US Fish and Wildlife Service. And if you admit that your grandfather got you the license fraudulently, you are both in a world of trouble.

If you got him on a rehabbers license, it can be released, but please take him to a LEGITIMATELY licensed rehabber for reconditioning before you free him. Right now, he is a pet – he does not know how to find his own food and shelter, and he does not know how to avoid predators (specifically HUMANS, which he has come to think of as his friends. To release him now, without PROPER reconditioning by a REAL rehabilitator would be to condem him to death. And, again, if it is discovered that your grandfather fraudulently procured a license for you to keep the owl, you are both facing very stiff fines and possible jail time. The owl is protected under federal law, and only people who have properly obtained licenses are legally permitted to have one.
