how wonderful...!! you are blessed by mother nature, i see this bird as knowing your kind heart & its come to you & trusts you , its most likely eating well by hunting the rodents around your place ,and in turn keeping the predators away , what more could be ask for, this is a gift to you from mother nature..! this owl may have been injured & rehabbed at some point in its past , but what ever its come to you ..!! this is sooo amazing ...!!! i had a crow follow me around all over & would land on the handle bars of my bike..! when i was a child, it would come and look in my bedroom window to call me out to play , so this is such a great opportunity for you to learn from this owl & yes it can be your spirit guide & they also say that a passed on loved one sends birds & or butterflies to us to tell us they are watching over us , after my husband died humming birds would come around me so close they almost landed on my head, but what ever this could mean its such a blessing for you , so you watch out for your owl and try to keep it safe..!
