at 17.12 ... it is amazing how the chick gets half a mouse in its beak and proceeds to swallow it whole. I saw on another Owl channel, a mother Owl, pulling the food back out of her very young chick, who had decided to try and swallow the food whole, and was chocking, she did manage to get the food out.

@@Erics-Owls No problems at all. I absolutely adore owls,and following you now will be a highlight for me. Owls are gorgeous creatures no matter where in the world you are.
The mouse was still alive when delivered to the chick. The chick realises this and watches the mouse for a while, inspecting it. Maybe wondering why the food is still moving???
Hello kenn, I noticed the same thing you did. Sometimes the prey is still alive when delivered, but it also be involuntarily movement. I read that the Owl who captures the prey crushes the skull with its beak. They may also break its neck. There is one video on our channel regarding “mouse playing possum” where the mouse tries unsuccessfully to run away. Nature can be cruel, but that is universal.
