5:15pm Thursday 28th January 2010HE’S the sex starved owl that’s ruffled the feathers of his neighbours with his late night mating calls.
But the future looks bleak for the horny tawny after complaints from nearby residents forced council chiefs to order an end to his midnight hoots.
Now Twixx faces being put down if his owner Wendy Whitfield cannot find him a new home.
The 12-year-old bird of prey is kept in a cage at the bottom of Wendy’s garden in Hedge End, but it backs on to a small block of flats.
The residents there are being kept awake by the randy bird’s noises after his head was turned by a wild owl that comes to visit.
The flat owners could take it no more and complained to Eastleigh council which ordered Wendy to remove Twixx or face a £5,000 fine.
