Feathered filmstar, Sheba the owl, who appeared in the latest Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire has turned out to be male - and has fathered an owlet.
Because of the difficulty of sexing birds until they hatch eggs, it was not certain whether Sheba was a male until he became a father.
Now a competition has been launched to name the owlet and the person who chooses the winning name will be given free family admission to the raptor centre for a year, valid for two adults and two children - plus 10 per cent off goods in the shop.
The baby owl, either a son or daughter of Sheba, is pictured here with Raptor Foundation volunteer Madeleine Weber.
