'have a pet baby owl worth being trained' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'baby owl worth being trained' is the wordplay.
'being trained' indicates anagramming the letters (to train can mean to grow something into a shape).
'baby'+'owl'+'worth'='babyowlworth'
'babyowlworth' with letters rearranged gives 'THROW A WOBBLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
