Tintin stroked my feathers carefully. You see baby falcons are…completely… harmless. They don't have wings or their sharp beak…so they can't bight. When they grow up they have the descriptions I told you, dear readers. Tintin is my owner, however, and we are in Marlinspike Hall visiting Captain Haddock.
My friend Evangeline is an owl. We look different but…well…let's say…similar. Evangeline has a beak and small talons. We are both raptors and cannot fly. We share the same nest and we…hmm. Evangeline is nocturnal which means she sleeps at day. This can be somehow…annoying to me. I myself is not nocturnal and that's a big different. But still we are friends.
Jan. 7
Today we moved to Marlinspike Hall. I was shivering in the snow…well not really with Snowy huddling next to us we were warm. Tintin banged on the gates and out came Captain Haddock. We got into Marlinspike and I felt there was a fireplace or a heater running.
Evangeline was a small northern saw-whet. Snowy leapt from his place. Hector was sleeping, that big bully dog of his was finally sleeping.
After eating some pigeon I lie in the nest and felt a blanket covering me and Evangeline. My eyes were weary of staying up all night and with one blink I went to sleep.
