Does Owlbear Whisperer let you use your Charisma bonus rather than Wisdom bonus when performing an Animal Handling check on an Owlbear?
If I am within 10 feet of an owlbear, I can use an action to make a DC 10 Charisma (Animal Handling) check. On a success, I change the owlbear’s attitude toward me from hostile to indifferent or from indifferent to friendly.
Technically, all the ability scores next to skill checks are sort of the default options. You can use any ability score for any check (str in place of cha for intimidation is a classic example) if you can convince your DM.
Also, really this sort of thing is going to be up to your DM no matter what we say here on the boards.

As written, you only use charisma to reduce hostility. Any other animal handling check would use wisdom as normal unless DM says otherwise.

Since it is a secret, and in the book that way, I say yes.
