    An Owl that doesn't shít, and can attack, and forage would be perfect

    Id get an elephant. He could use his trunk to get into those hard to reach places.

    Also would save me having to pay for the leccy shower.

    The Reptile Zoo in Gowran, Co. Kilkenny has the biggest, angriest owl I've ever seen. The owl is upstairs, in a netted corner, hooting owl feck offs to all the visitors.

    A dire wolf and a penguin.

    They'd be friends so the penguin wouldn't get eaten.

    Owls are some of the least intelligent birds, in fact most bricks would compare favourably in the IQ department. From what I've heard from falconers, they are quite difficult to train to hunt - even well trained owls will more often than not completely ignore prey walking by only a few feet away.

    /serious answer

    tldr: buy a brick instead

    You're about 10,000 years too late on wanting one of them.

    I think a tarantuala would be a cool pet to have, give it an insect every now and again and it's happy out.

    Ducks are better, they give you eggs, look hilarious and do that "we don't quite belong on land" waddle anytime they want to go anywhere.
    Can't Owls be quite vicious?

    I read that alright but then again getting a pet dire wolf is about as likely as getting a pet owl or pet penguin etc. :D
