Yes, I hear that lately the wizarding commnunity have been complaining about owls who have, for whatever reason, decided to drop their mail. With the increase of mice, rats, shrews and other small rodents, it has become ever so tempting for our feathered friends to take a slight "detour" on their trips in order to satisfy their predatory nature.
Of course, catching prey is impossible when a parsel or large envelope is tied to their talons. As a result, it has now become ever so common for a client to recieve a half eaten rat in the mail... whilst their parcel is blowing about the woods.
Proffesional companies have decided that this just would not do. The solution? Put the mail
inside the owl. Dropping the mail no longer becomes a problem! This new development benifits the company, the clints and of course the owls, who are now free to do whatever they please between trips. Experts have stated that now that the owls have mre time to themselves, the current rodent problem should also cease quite soon.
Upon arival, a simple charm is cast upon the owl, the bird falls unconcious, and while it sleeps, the contents of its stomach may be extracted painlessly through the beak. A then well rested owl may be paid, and then return to it's corporate owner (all the while eating more rodents).
Of course now consumers are faced with the bother of cleaning owl vomit from their mail...
