"Er," Rian started and looked around and then back to the woman. Well, even if she wasn't asking him about taking care of pets at Hogwarts, he was definitely qualified to answer that. "A five year old? That's sort of tricky," Rian said, leaning back against the table as to be more on her level instead of towering over her like he normally did. "I would say it depends on the temperament of the owl. Most owls that parents have are ones they received as at eleven or at school, so they should be pretty good with their owners and families, but sometimes they are just old and cranky, unfortunately."
He reached behind him and picked up a flier about owl care and handed it to her, "If you think your daughter can handle the responsibilities in there, or at least help with them, and owl might be good for her. If she's good, as in doesn't pluck feathers, I would suggest getting one that's not young and still needing to be trained, but not one that is old and set in their ways. Owls sometimes tend to take a mothering approach to their owners and not that it's probably an issue but one that grows with you and stops you from drunk-owling an ex, well that's kind of a good relationship." Oh dear Merlin, had he just mentioned alcohol in the context of her five year old, what was he thinking? Hopefully she wouldn't notice that though. "I'm sure one of the employees inside can help you find the right one you're looking for though."
