Frigitha "Friggy"


This is Frigitha! Cute Owl. <3
















Frigitha. A tiny female Northern Saw-Whet Owl. She is hyper, but she contains her excitement about everything and tries to be calm and loving, as she thinks she should be. She was babied as an owlet, but Dawn taught her how to be independent. She is glad she can hunt for herself and she isn't that well of a flier, but can make due. She tries to be the owl who calms the owls from fighting in The Clan. The Story of Frigtha
The Heart of The Clan
Friggy woke up happily and stared at her mother, who was preening her little brother, Oggy, or formally known as Oggith. Oggith was always crazy and messing up his downy feathers. Friggy always laughed at little Oggy, such a male! Her mother smiled at her, "Friggy! Just in time for First Black, your father is out hunting now." Little Friggy smiled, her family life was so perfect. How could anything go wrong?!
Oggy moaned, "Can I go play now, Mum!" Mother churred softly, "Go ahead Oggy, but, if you play too roughly I will have to preen you again." She said, with a tint of scolding in her voice. Oggy sighed, "Yes mum.. I understand.." Then he tumbled to Friggy, his down already messed up and clottered with moss. Friggy churred to him, "Look! You already have to be preened!" Oggy mumbled, "What! No I don't!" Mother walked over and started to comb his feathers with her beak and she scolded with a churr, "Oggy, Oggy, Oggy... look at you!"
Oggy mumbled something and closed his eyes, trying to enjoy the grooming. Friggy smiled and looked out her hollow, looking for her father who should appear any minute now, with worms for Oggy and herself and two voles for himself and Mother.
She sighed and stared at her downy fluff and shivered when she saw a tuft fall off and leave a small tan and white spot. She didn't want to fledge! That meant that she would have to leave the hollow... but, at least then she could finally fly, by herself and not in the talons of her small parents.
Friggy looked up and quinted, she saw something glimmering on the tree about a couple wingflaps away from her's. She narrowed her eyes and saw... it was fire! She screamed and then the fire grew larger in a matter of seconds. Her mother looked out the hollow and gasped, "Oh dear!" And in a matter of minutes the fire crowned to their hollow and her mother tried frantically to go in flight holding Friggy and Oggy both. Then, the hollow was engulfed.
Friggy screeched and she jumped out the hollow and landed on the ground and was knocked out cold.

Friggy woke up to feel a small wind in her feathers and the hooting of a Great Horned Owl. She moaned and opened her eyes and saw a male Great Horned, barely older than her. "Hi, name is Flint." He hooted gently. "I was in the fire and saw you... so I saved you. But, I saw your parents and your brother got burned... I am sorry I couldn't save them."
Friggy was devasted, she couldn't help but weep as Flint, a weak flier, flew down and landed. Frigitha crawled out of his grasp and stared at him, "Thanks for saving me, my name is Frigitha, but call me Friggy." Flint nodded, "I...I can stay with you... because my parents were lost in the fire..." Flint's horns dropped down and his eyes watered with tears. Friggy gently touched his lower belly with her wing, "Yes, we can stay together. Protect each other, and we will become great friends!" She looked up and say a female Great Gray chick, red and silvery gray sitting on a fig tree branch and she blinked. "Hello?" And soon, they become a small group of three. Flint, Frigitha, and Dawn.
