Not sure I would want even a small owl perching on a plastic bodied lens.

Alan Can't comment on plastic lenses but I have had both Bald Eagle and Golden Eagle landing/perching and taking off from my arm. Naturally they didn't use the gauntlet but preferred the bare flesh - no marks and no scratches and more importantly no pain! Life is for living, cameras are to capture it (one day I will learn how!).
