Little Owls | Two week old chick update| Breeding Birds Of Prey
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 тра 2020
- Two weeks on from hatching we catch up with the Little Owl chicks.
Once again they have grown .
These owls are captive bred, not taken from the wild. It is illegal in the UK to release captive bred birds into the wild. I breed a very small number of birds where there is demand from other falconers.
A few other quick facts about them:
- They will be fully feathered and ready to fly at just 6 weeks, and will be giving it a good go before then!
- They are eating raw mouse and chicken today. They can only eat raw meat. They do not eat seeds or leaves. I give them a diet that nutritionally matches a typical diet for a Little Owl in the wild. It is a mixed whole carcass meat diet.

“Except when he’s tired and he’s eaten he can’t be bothered to keep them open.”
SAME. 🤣♥️
Literally thought that when she said, "Why do I relate so much to an owl?"
I feel this on a personal level- 🤣
Yup ! Sounds like me too and my Lady will agree !
Literally same 😂
You're a beautiful person
The way they cuddle into a little ball, and totally accept the other baby tawny, is just heart-melting!
“Stompy bum wiggle”. That sounds like a new dance (or maybe an old one from the 60s)
It's the name of my Miley Cyrus cover band.
js, best comment so far.
🎶🦉👍😂
I had to play that back a few times to make sure I heard her right - absolutely fantastic. Great name for a band too.
"Ladies and gentlemen I give you -- STOMPY BUM WIGGLE!!!!"
I thought she said "stodgy bum wiggle"...whatever, it sounds cute
I hope the Tawny Owl goes on to be called “Nugget”.
Jimbobalina1 I thought that too ❤️
Yes!
Same here!
Came here to say this
Nuggs for short.
They're like animated dryer lint! So terribly cute.
Katie Kane LOVE THIS ANALOGY!!!! Made me SMILE😊
Lol
😂... Or huge dust bunnies...
Laughing my head off! That's perfect!
Lol!!
Aww, he's like, "Yes yes, I will do ambassador-ing later. But first sleep."
I introduced my 12 year old son your channel a few weeks ago. He is autistic, and is absolutely in love with the owlets and especially with Fable😀 one of his new favourite things is to say “Wow,boop boop!” ,whenever I ask him a question 😂
Aww. Happy mothers day. And boop boop to you and your son.
@@CoffeeShopOracle One day boop boop will be a total normal greeting (like hello, hi, whatever) all over the world :D Maybe even in political meetings :D
@@Mues_Lee When my niece was a baby that was the only thing that would get her to stop crying, I'd poke her stomach and say boop! boop!... instant good mood! After stumbling across Amy's channel I realised it works on me as an adult lol. Throw out the valium and antidepressants, you just need a dose of... boop boop!☺
Give your son a "wow,boop,boop" from the Netherlands🧩🧩
Beautiful that videos can bring out a child's sense of wonder, peace and vocals. 🦉🦉🦉🦉🤗💞👨💻
That's a lot of cuteness in one space.
Sooooooo much cuteness,I want one!
I agree 😊
I see what you did there 😂
Great comment! 👍🥰
I would love to see (if possible) the falconers who will adopt them and have them introduce themselves!
That would be super awesome. And I'd love to see them fetching their owl!
Pretty please
Oh my now THAT would be great!!👍🏻👍🏻
Good suggestion!!
👍x 100
She said, "Stumpy bum wiggle". That makes me so happy! I love you! Thank you for sharing so much of the birds and your lives. You are all amazing to me and mine.
I'm glad you were able to save the little guy who got stuck in his egg. That was close.
So, so tiny when I watched them hatching... proper little fluffbuckets now x
Fluffbucket...I love it!
Perfect❣🦉
I have to tell you about an encounter I had with a Little Owl when I was in my early teens. I think I put in another video's comment section that I am a frustrated Falconer... and although my first love are the Falcons, I have a soft spot for these little fellas... The folks were living in Turkey while dad worked on a job out there... with the job came a flat, which had a balcony off the living room, with the dining room area extending on the right side of the Living room past the balcony with a window in the side of it. One day I had noticed there was a Little Owl perched on the window sill of the Dining Room window... so I slowly went out on to the balcony and kind of peeked past the wall at the owl... we were about 15 feet apart. It didn't startle and fly off, which amazed me, but turned it's head to look at me... So as not to scare it as I got closer to the balcony edge I'd duck back close to the wall... then poke my head out a touch to see the owl... as I started to pull my head back in to move the last bit to the balcony rail I saw the owl lean out and extend it's neck to see where I was going, then return to a more normal position once I came back out into view again. I moved closer to the wall and the owl leaned out and extended it's neck to keep me in sight... I did this a few times before stopping in clear sight and just looked at this wonderfully compact bird, taking in as much detail as I could. It started to bob up and down, I guess changing it's visual perspective to get a good look at me too... but I copied it, sort of hunching down into my shoulders and back up again... we ended up doing this for a few minutes until a sudden sound from inside the house proved to much, and it flew off... Gorgeous birds, I'm grinning now from ear as I remember it... Thanks for sharing their progress with us, it's just a shame we won't be completing their growing progress with them until they turn into fully fledged Juveniles... but I wish them all well in their new homes and I just know they will delight every single person that encounters them in their new career! :o)
This is one of the most fascinating series I have ever watched. I love your presentation and look forward to many more. Thank you!!
The whole description of manually hatching the egg was outstanding, such dedication. Bravo!
Honestly, you're my personal super hero for saving that last struggling chick! Thank you very much Amy!!
Thank you for taking some of your precious time to film, edit and upload this unfolding story. I cannot express how much we appreciate this. You take care and stay safe. Best regards, Josie, Chris and MoJo, our Weimararner who is glued to the screen whilst you are on!
If I were wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you, Amy. These owls are off to a great start and, all being well, will have long, healthy lives in the care of their new guardians. More power to you all.
The way she assisted in the hatching is remarkable, isn't it? At least for a layman like me. It takes considerable knowledge of the biology of the species. Nice video.
I was wondering about the 5th. The story of the difficult hatching gave me a moment.
This channel is top flight.
I come here,to your channel,to see you and your birds,when I need to feel better about everything!I always smile,and feel a weight lift
after watching you and your companions.Thank you,from Colorado.
Your love for these birds is beautiful to see, shows what a beautiful person you are.
Can we have an owl t-shirt? Wow! Hoot hoot!
It's great having watched them hatch live and seeing how big they are now.
I'll see what I can do :)
Interesting!
That's just so awesome that you rescued the Tawny Owl chick. I'm glad that you're using your knowledge to help them and in turn, to learn more, you learn more about them and share that knowledge with other people.
Amy you are my hero! Working with newborns of any species is incredibly difficult. I’m a Neonatal ICU RN and adore it. I’ve been on medical leave for a while awaiting a kidney transplant in the US. I miss my babies terribly and my husband bought two bluebird houses for our home. We have a large wooded lot and he helps me by doing all the handling and cleaning of the boxes since I’m immune suppressed. We have hosted 3 -4 bluebird families each spring and I have absolutely adored looking in through a hidden plexi glass door and camera. We put out fresh meal worms to assist the parents with their caloric intake. I took up photography being home for over 2 years now and have documented our bluebirds and their chicks. It’s always an exciting couple days when the clutch fledges. I love how the females of the first clutch help the parents feed babies of the 2nd &3rd. They all return to our filtered fresh water bird bath and have become used to my nearby presence. My husband feels snubbed that he cleans up after them but they don’t perch close by when he’s enjoying our deck. Anyway, I want to thank you for your amazing work with your gorgeous raptors. You offer such a wonderful educational experience on your channel and it makes me wish falconry was more prevalent in the US. I live in Alabama in the South and do get to enjoy watching Red Shouldered Hawks, Cooper’s Hawks and Red Tailed Hawks in our area. One of the RS Hawks frequently hunts the squirrels and chipmunks that feed off our feeders. I was quite startled the first time I saw him outside my window sitting on top of the privacy fence. They are incredible!
They are so cute I suffer chronic depression your videos have been very nice to watch and have even cheered me up today🤠🌄🦅🇺🇸
They're so fluffy!
Why did I hear this in the voice of the littlest kid in Despicable Me! ?? lol
So fascinating:) thank you! Happy Mother’s Day, you are a mother to all your little chicks 🐣 ❤️
The "aaaahh" fluffy moments are bloody lovely 🙂, but I really like the information and knowledge you pass on and in such an easily understandable way for us newbs .
Amy you are so knowledgeable and so caring. I can imagine this is a dream job for you. I enjoy watching them grow so much. Thanks for putting updates on. Xx
Can't believe it's already been 2 weeks. They a so cute 🥰
Happy mother's day. You deserve it for taking care of all of your fluff balls
Can't believe it was just 2 weeks ago we were watching these little ones hatch. They're amazing 😍xxx
Those little gorgeouses, are so adorably grumpy!
I forgot to say how glad I am that you were able to intervene with the tawny owl. You literally saved his life. God love you!
In the ten-or-so years that I've been on UA-cam this is the first video I've ever seen with well over two thousand likes and not a single dislike. This channel is the most wholesome thing ever!
Oh my goodness! I don’t have the words to express how precious these little babies are. I wish I lived near you. I would come over and stare at these little guys everyday. ❤️
So great to see they are still doing so well and to hear of the rescue of the little Tawny Owl chick by the magical Owl Angel. Thanks for all your work, but isn't that what angels do? Boop! Boop! and more...
I had no idea that hatching can be this difficult and complicated... very informative, and this little chap is absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing 🙂
To One of the Kindest Bird Moms, Thankyou for sharing these sweet fuzzies with us. Please gather loose down and make me a tiny silk pillow.
OMGosh, precious wittle fluffernutters! They melted my heart and brought tears to my eyes when they zoomed into each other to huddle up after feeding. Cuteness overload! 👍😁💕
How gorgeous. Good job. My mom and I hand raised baby blue jays. When they got old enough, we set them outside on a wooden clothes rack set between two bushes. As we kept a constant eye on them, we saw their mom fly down and take over feeding them during the day. We let mom continue and when the babies got their wings, they would fly up into the trees but land on us as well. We watched as they became acclimated to the wild. We came back from a two week vacation and one of the males flew down and landed on the side mirror of the car. He flew back up and as we watched his mate landed next to him. He would check in from time to time until one day he and his mate flew off to live their own lives.
This is more than I can handle with these round little fuzzles sitting in their colored cups and being fed. I'd have to kiss their heads.
Okay, that's it; tawny baby made me crying. What a wonderful story. So beautiful that he made it with your help. Thank you so much for sharing and caring ❤️
I love owls, unfortunately where I love they aren’t common but when I do see them or hear them it’s pretty cool
The closest we have to a owl in new zealand is these small owl ish things called morepork
human?cat?lemon? soup. Actually they’ve recently discovered that there might be a breeding population of barn owls in Auckland that have ended up here from Oz which to me, is great news cos I love barn owls. Since they arrived under their own steam” so to speak, they’re considered naturalised, and are treated like natives.
I have lived near Chicago, IL all my life and the only way I know we have owls is hooting at night... I have never seen one.
@@catzkeet4860 that's good I live about 2 hours drive from auckland so there might be some here:)
Try calling them. They can be found in suburbs.
Fluffy! 😍 Aw... when pink fell over ❤️
You are a role model for humanity in respecting and helping innocent and vulnerable animals.
Amy, you are a saviour! All the owlets look in fine fettle and very, very cute (except for their feet, which seem practical rather than sweet)
I've got my little owl coming in a couple of weeks can't wait I've never worked with such a small bird before but it will be a steep learning curve from my male Harris
Brandon David Good luck
Brandon David: That’s fantastic! I’m sure a lot of us armchair enthusiasts would be super interested if you have a chance to keep us updated on your progress; & best wishes!🦉☺️
Such precious babies. You're an excellent mommy, you are! 😍
The cuddle up before napping was my fav part of the video. I wonder if any of them ever say, ‘Look here, I didn’t push you out of the nest, even though I totally could have, so I get the middle!’
Nearly eleven minutes in duration, which felt like only 2.. I'm absolutely enchanted with these little birds, and what a wonderful presentation you provide. Your absolute dedication for these wonderful creatures and their welfare, is simply stunning, and such a beautiful thing to see. Never have I felt so utterly inspired to learn more... Thank You So Much.
Those tiny owlets are the cutest things ever. Wonderful story that everyone must love about the littlest one who made it against all odds.
You and your feathered friends are soooo.. precious. Brings tears to the eyes to see such nurturing. Beautiful.
Thank you for this beautiful, amazing close ups to the baby owls. I can't begin to tell you how much joy they bring into my life!!! I loved how you placed them in the bowls for feeding...
Thank you , you are a wonderful , loving MOM!!!! XOXOXOXOXO
”Stompy Bum Wiggle” I love that. I think that's the ideal way to walk.
I love that they have highchairs. First the foam, now little bowls😍
I can't believe how big they've gotten! And their eyes are open!! Such gorgeous eyes! I was amazed at the patience you had to get that little guy out of his shell. If he was in the wild, he wouldn't have made it. (sometimes the circle of life still makes me cry) But you did it!!!👍🏻🦉
Question- When do you find out the sex of these little ones from the shells you sent off?
How do you decide which one goes to which falconer?
I'm glad you mentioned why you couldn't show the other chicks who are being raised by their parents. We wouldn't want to interrupt their care!!
Thank you for opening your wonder filled world to us!! All this is truly amazing! Looking forward to the next video already!!! Just to see how they have changed.
Much Love!👍🏻💞
Aw! Little baby birds! SO cute! I'm so happy you have the care of these little guys and I'm sure the folks you pass them on to will be just as caring and respectful of them. What lucky birds!
Who would have thought that getting out of that egg shell would be so complicated! It's almost if not as complicated as when humans are in breach position, or have the umbilical chord around their neck ... I didn't know about the blood vessels and the complex irrigation system. Well done for saving him! You are a true expert. Thanks for this video, which again is an eye-opener.
Easily my new favorite channel. Not only do you show us cute little babies but you're so incredibly respectful and loving of your entire flock. Absolutely heartwarming = D Thank you so much for sharing with us!!!
It's super fun that you're so high tech. It's not just the tech either, you clearly know what you're doing; you're super super knowledgable. More than that, you clearly love the birds. Awesome to watch.
It's adorable how they're put in bowls to eat. Each one to his or own bowl. 😂 They're so precious!
There is so much depression with our Covid isolation, a brutal snow and cold wave here in the USA, and so much ugliness and hate over politics. I love you and all the birds, the peaceful music on your videos. I have totally dropped Facebook and don't do Twitter, but I subscribed here and just love all you post. When not watching you, I watch the birds and deer at my back yard feeders. It helps hold the gray same/same days and weeks at bay. God Bless you. ... 3 x cancer survivor since 2016 in Ohio USA with Scottish ancestry.
Omg be still my heart!! They are absolutely gorgeous little fluffbabies. And those eyes. I'm in awe. Just amazing. They definitely grow so rapidly. Oops lol. Those tiny feet. Well done. Snuggle up babies. Downy fluff. Wow hes beautiful. Tysm for sharing them. ❤
I've only seen burrowing owls here where I live. Small, but very beautiful!
I watched the hatching livestream, it's so nice to see them all fluffed and with open eyes. Thanks for your amazing work, Amy! You're a great cinematographer and storyteller!
Oh my gosh, you are a very beautiful soul, you saved that sweet precious baby owl , I am SO AMAZED BY YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL KNOWLEDGE AND COMPASSION FOR FALCONE
You can already see their Grumpy owl faces starting to develop💕💖✨ it’s so cute I just can’t believe it
Been wanting to watch this for days but not had time .... watching it in bed - BF said “ turn that thing off “ until he saw what I was watching !!! He’s hooked to !!! Love this very much 🙌❤️🙌❤️🙌
Thank you so much Amy for your wonderful videos, I enjoy them so much and love your channel. I rescued a crow fledgling from rain and wind during a typhoon we had here in India. The little crow was up on the roof for a day and a night sitting on a dead branch. We have a lot of cats around and was worried about this. So I took in this miserable little wet hungry ball of black, with his big beak, thinking I could warm him up, feed him and put him higher up in a tree. I didn't know anything about crows, and looked on google to find none other than ... Fable and you!!! I tried to give back my fledgeling everyday, but then found he had a lot of warts on him, there were lesions, growing warts and pain. I gave him some antibiotic after some research and lots of vitamins, he has recovered, he has only a few warts on his feet now, at the joints. His name is Oreo and he is one happy Indian jungle crow.
Awwww they've outgrown their packing carton high chairs already! 😄 they're so cute!
I remember, as an American, being in grade school and like once a year having assemblies and there was a bird person. (I suppose you would call them Falconers" But one year this guy brought us an American Bald Eagle to show, one of the coolest birds I ever saw. It did only have half a wing since it was rescued because it hit electrical lines and he was the man that saved the bird(he may have also been a Vet, I forget) but I do remember him saying at the end when he flew the bird around our auditorium "I'm going to ask you to not out your hands up because this was originally a wild bird and she's going to fly, but if your hands are up she's basically going to attack and the force of her just hitting your hand WILL knock you over" and ever since then I've just loved birds. It also helped that my aunt has an African Gray
I see some sort of heat lamps to keep the baby owls warm, but truth is that it’s your love that is hugging them babies!
i love their little grumpy faces!

Owldemort will reign supreme!
Well done with the Tawny, I always found that the 'runt' of the clutch if they survive always seem to make excellent birds. Great video as always.
Oh my GOD!!!!!!!! They've gotten SO BIG and SO ADORABLE!!!!! They make me wanna cry they're SO CUTE!!!! 😭❤️
🎵One of these things is not like the others 🎶😊
What a process to save the little tawny!!!
I'm glad he made it👍 I shall call him Chunkers 😂 Thanks for so much fluffy cuteness and teaching me something new in every episode 🦉
Little Nugget,️ just a wonderful name, birds of a feather flock together, all of you are beautiful chicks
Love love love your healthy fuzzy sweet owl nuggets. It’s a privilege to watch them grow. Thank you so much for allowing us to see this amazing process.🦉❤️🦉
They remind me so much of little, grumpy, old men. 😂 Stooped over, funny walk, squint-eyed, grumpy faced! So cute!
hey i resemble that remark :)
Nawwww what a little sweetheart. The baby tawny owl is cute too. So glad you're in the world to care for these birds.
I absolutely love what this channel is about! So grateful to have found it and watch these little owl chicks grow up 🐣 🐥 great job Amy & team!!!!
They are the sweetest. They look like fluffy dandelions. You did a good job taking care of the tawny owl. It’s nice to learn about these beautiful little creatures. Take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Both your owl and raven vids have been the one thing keeping me sane during lock down. Absolutely adorable! Thank you so much xxx
Such a pleasure to see what you do with these beautiful birds. We found a baby Tawny owl and took it to the vet, it had fallen out of the tree. He/she had a broken leg. Sadly they put it to sleep. Said they rang a local falconer and they said it could not save it. We where so upset.
What wee precious fluff balls! They are so staid and still, it's amazing to think that they morph into these sleek, efficient hunters.
Thank you for the update...!
Absolutely precious ! Bless you for such lovely care of these little sweethearts and Bless you for not giving up on the little( not so little now!) Tawny Owl! So thrilled they are all doing well!
So cute! Thank you for educating us Amy!!
amazing to see the progress. thanks for the update!!
Adorable! Thank you Amy.
OMG - LOVE this channel! Thank-you!!
Thank you so much for the update, cute little owls 🦉 awwwww
They are growing so fast!
So cute! Love the Tawny is looking at her chatting away.
So precious !!!
Overload of fluffyness. Lovely as always!
This warms my heart. Thank you for your hard work!
it must be very rewarding and amazing to see the chicks grow to fully grown owls

My kids had exactly the same fight over a bean bag chair just yesterday. Kids are kids all over, I guess.
Such cute little babies!! So sweet!!
