ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
A tale of tawny owl resilience
Filmed using cameras hidden inside their nest, it tells the story of how two tawny owls, nicknamed Bonnie & Ozzy, overcame the loss of their first clutch to lay a new set eggs.
And tawny owl chick survival
The story goes on to show how their chicks, Bramble & Sage, also overcame adversity after almost dying when their owl dad Ozzy stopped feeding them. See how, with a little help from me, these owlets eventually grew and fledged the nest.

Agreed
Love that this guy helps them out instead of shrugging and being like "gotta let nature take it's course". Intervention isn't the same as interference and when we're talking about a keystone species which can be wiped out from the area simply because of bad luck hunting it's pretty obvious some exceptions can be made in terms of giving these animals the edge they need to survive and reproduce.
23 likes and 0 comments let me changes that
The problem is you are artificially supporting the genetics of a male bird that does not feed it's offspring. Now those chicks with those genetics will compete with others of the same species for food. So it is possible that he is hurting other birds by feeding the chicks because other parents who will feed their offspring have more competition. This is not guaranteed though so it's a toss up. I would only support it if the species is in serious trouble. It's not ideal but it is better than them dying.
I agree with you. I had watched a video titled: Lion cubs dying of starvation because of long dry season in Africa. One of the men taking videos said: let nature take it's course, and I commented: you guys just watch these animals died before your eyes? Why not throw just pieces of meat just to help these dying cubs survive!
yep, conservation is a thing
So true ...i was thinking the same thing....thank goodness he isn't one of those people saying to let nature take its course ..the fact is that a lot of animals are having trouble because of the overpopulation of humans so the way i see it we need to help these beautiful creatures as much as we can because a lot of species are going extinct because of humans taking their habitats so we need to be helping animals as much as we can right now ...what A wonderful human being he is to be helping these beautiful owls to raise their young and try to help with the owl population..
You deserve some kind of award. Your kindness to nature and your helping hand to these young owls is just inspiring to watch.
Thanks 😊
Agreed! What he does is absolutely sensational to watch
I wish I was there to help out, more trees need planting to provide nests in the future.
@@RobertEFuller I wouldn’t be surprised if National Geographic employs you ❤️
Absolutely!
Wonderful video. It reminds me of the when my wife and I were raising our kids and didn’t have enough supplies at times. It would have been nice if “mice” fell from the sky and landed on our living room floor.
Now I can’t stop imagining just hamburgers falling through the roof onto the floor
The helping hands for humans are supposed to be the close family, neighbors and friends.
The way that one of the baby owls hugs her friend with his wing at this part 21:55 is just so flipping cute!🦉🌱🌿🍀🍃
Young Owls 🦉 They are so funny to watch
Thanks for replying to me robert!
Really sweet
In all my years watching raptors, I’ve never had an interest in owls. Your beautiful videos have given me an appreciation for owls in general…tawny owls in particular. Thank you for this newfound interest and Blessing of Christmas joy. ✨♥️✨
Glad you enjoyed the video and see how special owls are 😄
@@RobertEFuller I thought you were the actor.
Same name - different chap.
Harry Potter never did it for you?
THANK YOU 🙏 for actually stepping in and feeding the chicks when you saw they needed a hand instead of just letting nature take it’s course. It’s the most frustrating thing when a camera person just lets a baby animal starve for a nature documentary! I realize we can’t save them all, but we can certainly help where we can.
Feeding like once in Thier life to save them is fine just make sure it deos'nt turn into a habit
@@misty_radio4958 mysteriously dropping a mouse over the edge of the hollow 2 ‘ down to the babies isn’t “feeding them” for all they know their dad dropped it in. I just wish some of those guy filming lost cubs would “lose” a dead chicken or a bucket of water instead of filming a cub die of thirst and starvation! We’re sort of beyond that at this point in the 21st Century. We know how to help anonymously without disturbing the animals natural instincts.
@@crystalm4324 That is dangerous as it could teach those cubs to associate humans with food with potentially disastrous results. Here it was easy to assure that the chicks didn't see that it was a human that fed them. But losing a dead chicken isn't the same as they could then associate whatever "lost" it with free handouts. Don't get me wrong, it is heartbreaking to watch baby animals die, but it would be even more heartbreaking if that cub grew up to maul someone and had to be shot because it lost it's fear of people.
Thank you for all the films of owls, it's so sweet. I love watching them raise their babies. I don't think we have owls here in New York, it's probably too cold. The first time I saw an owl was in Florida. There's a lot of wildlife there. Up here the wildlife stands on 2 legs!
Agreed, within reason. Generally a lack of prey or a diverted water source is usually humans fault. I know in Africa a lot of cattle farms are growing to such a size that the wildebeest, zebra, and antelope are struggling due to blocked paths from fencing and less grassland. A lack of predators has led to deer issues in the US due to a lack of territory and cars. We should be giving nature back it's land not keeping it to torture other animals.
Owls, one of nature's quietest hunters, are famous for the noise they make.
This video should be placed in some prestigious Wildlife World Site as what you, Robert, have captured here is astonishing mate, just so absolutely unique. The complete capture, yours, of the trials and tribulations that this pair/family have had to endure is just so heart rendering that it makes me just smile and cry at the same time. This is exceptional wildlife photography Robert, just excellent man, love it. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️👍⭐️. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours Robert.
Thanks David for all your kind compliments it makes it all worthwhile to know what we do here is appreciated
I agree 👍 THIS is simply Beautiful 😍 ❤
@@RobertEFuller I also agree! Just simply amazing!!! ❤️ 🦉
@@RobertEFuller it is so appreciated. My mother is in love with owls and has never used UA-cam before but now uses it exclusively for your channel! What you’re doing is making a huge difference on so many levels.
@@serinadelmar6012 it surely does Nice to hear about your mother You can always learn new tricks in the book Bettina Denmark
Bonnie is much more polite than Athena and Willow while demanding food. 😂
The tagging must have been a wild adventure for the chicks. Imagine trying to tell your mom that you were kidnapped and given jewelry but she thinks it’s just tall tales lol
The owls are so calm when handled, must be a survival instinct.
That is correct - they think if they are quiet and still that they will be left alone.
Owls are so cute, glad he is helping them owls are vital to pest control and more people need to understand them.
00:53 "gru grugru grugrugru gruuuuuuu"
translation:
"it’s free real estate!"
15:57 "oh?"
16:00 "hmm... i can feel someone's watching us"
I noticed how useful are these owls in eliminating pests like rats.
8:35 Her looking at the bee is literally so precious
I know we're pretentious humans who're extremely prejudice in our perspective, but can I please get a shout out to this heroic man who intervened and saved these owls instead of letting nature run its course?
Birds are amazing creatures, it was so fascinating getting to watch Sage and Bramble's journey growing up, I hope they're both able to have chicks of their own when old enough
Yes it would be great to catch up with them one day
I don't know how I missed this little gem over the past holiday season! I find myself humbled as it will be an uphill struggle for Sage and Bramble. Thank you for your intervention Robert as both sibs ultimately fledged with maximal health and an air of confidence they might have not been able to experience.
I'm enthusiastic for the spring updates and your drone footage in addition to the cameras.. Thank you for the drama, your unique insight, sharing the beauty of your landscape and the unparalleled joy I'm satiated with throughout 😊‼️
What a delightful dance to be a part of🦉❤️
I love these full length videos! There's nothing more enjoyable to watch than films about animals and nature after stressful shifts at the hospital. thank you for making these and for your love of animals and nature! love from the US
Thank you for all of your support during the last few years. I can't begin to imagine how hard that job must be. Praying for strength and comfort for you!
I am so glad to have found your channel. I am disabled and I find watching nature videos is one of the most calming and soothing to watch to help with my chronic pain. I enjoy yours the most, as your narration isn’t jarring or harsh, you have a very calming background music, and I just love the visuals. Is there somewhere I can donate or help with so that you can keep doing what you’re doing and help you with rehabilitating animals? I know you don’t do this for monetary gain and you simply are just doing this for your love of animals and to share with others. But for those like me who get a great benefit from your videos.. I’d like to help somehow.
Thank you for all you do.
I am glad that you enjoy watching my videos, lots more planned for this year. Here is a link to my website with details of how you can support the wildlife that you can see on my films - www.robertefuller.com/support_and_donate/
totally astonished by the call of the tawny owl male. Happy new Year Robert Fuller. Ty for ur amazing work!
Tawnys owls have some amazing calls they along with little owls are my favourite
Robert you are a national treasure!. To see your videos is a privilege!
Thank you so much.
Bonnie, Ozzie and our precious towlets :D It was heartwarming to help them along and see them fledge and grow up.
The tawnies' story this year has to have been one of my favorites. Sage and Bramble were a joy to watch. So glad to relive their story for christmas! Happy holidays, Robert & team!
Thank you 😊 We are busy getting nests ready for next year 😃
It’s cool how they use their wings to climb up, do they have wing digits? They seems to do it so easily
They don’t have useful wing digits but are excellent climbers the chicks can climb a vertical tree trunk from 5 weeks old if the get tied they hook there beak in for a rest
They seem to be using a joint similar to our elbow. That was fascinating to see-I’ve never seen it before! Thank you, Robert, for teaching us about the wildlife of Yorkshire!
How lovely to see Sage and Bramble go through their all their growth stages to fledging and surviving in the wild. This is a very touching story. Thanks for this Robert and Merry Christmas to you, your family and your team!
Thanks keep watching plenty more to come
⁰
I wonder how Ozzie understood that the eggs need to keep warm, let alone what possessed him to take it on himself to warm them for a bit.
Merry Christmas! Καλά Χριστούγεννα!
6:40 male: "babe, can i see our eggs?"
female: "no food no peek. off you go and get me a nice sandwich!"
I love that you step in to help with food when needed. Many naturalists do not and I never understood why not. I know what they say, but do not agree. Thank you for helping!
Merry Christmas, Robert. May you and your loved ones enjoy the blessings of good health, happiness and peace this holiday season and all through the coming new year! Thank you for sharing your gifts with us! 🌲🎅🥳🦉💕
To placed juste the words I wanted to say so... Thank you on my behalf! ✨✨💖🧡💛💚💙💜🤎✨✨
@@mariettehamel12358 You're welcome, Mariette. We both think alike! Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday and a happy and healthy year ahead! 😊🥰
hi (being shy
@@MinikityR Hi! How are you! Happy New Year!
i just love the sounds these owls make, they are like music. It’s really wonderful that Robert intervenes so that the babies survive! ❤️❤️
I like seeing these lovely birds climbing up out of the nest. It’s cool how they use their wings to climb out of the nest
Very glad and appreciative that you supplied the chicks with food during a difficult time.
Yes I couldn’t let them starve just wish the male brought more food in
Thank you for feeding the babies! Your act of kindness has given them a chance to live their precious lives.
I love how you help and care for these owls, owls are my favorite anything ever, and it makes me so happy to see someone giving nature a little help instead of chopping down trees or destroying their habitat
Thanks so much, I do what I can to help wildlife
Im thrilled to find this channel! 😍
Welcome to our channel there is plenty more to come in 2022
Loved watching Bonnie and Ozzie's story. Great commentary and photography
Glad you enjoyed it
This channel is becoming one of my go-to's every day.
Thats great to hear - lots more videos planned.
Thank you for helping the owl babies.
No problem 😉 it’s great to help wildlife
@@RobertEFuller I wish I could do the same as you. You are so blessed to do this and I know you have the skills and knowledge for this. I have lots of birds over my house, I feed them when they come over mainly the red crested cardinal. Lately I seen a younger one come around by himself, I dont see the parents around, he is young because of his/her brown hair, its not red yet. They are so cute.
Thank you for helping Bonnie she broke my heart with her struggles
I know shame Ozzy the male didn’t take more food in
Oh my the owls calling was so beautiful I do believe the English Country Side is second to none .that was pure magic
And lovely to watch many thanks
Tawnys make such wonderful sounds so pleased we got to record them
What a nice Christmas present to us all! 🎄🎅🏼🎄
This was beautiful to watch
The young grow up very fast. It was uplifting to see Bonny and Ozzie keeping an eye on them. Your caring ways were what helped them all thru.
I never really cared much for birds but I LOVE Owls! Now I like birds!! Thank you for posting these videos.
I was never so happy than I was when watching the towlets grow up with Bonnie and Ozzy :) Thanks REF!
Glad you enjoyed it
Your work is TOP NOTCH!! Blessings and please never stop!
The second Christmas gift!!🤩🦉🦉😍
The male calling for his mate! I didn't know what this sound meant when I heard it. Now, I know!
Thank you very much. I enjoyed so much watching it!🙏💖🙏
This channel feels like the Facebook account of a proud dad posting updates on all his kids and grandkids
I love beautiful tawny owls with their big eyes and pretty coloring, Merry christmas robert and owls
So, basicly Robert is a tawny owl father (providing food and all) 👍
Doesnt every life deserve its own legend :)
I am so happy that more and more people take an interest in wildlife conservation.
Look at these gorgeous eyes 👁️
Oh my, this is my new favorite 🥰 It was like re living all the wonderful moments we watched and extra moments we did not get to see.
Thanks so much for this 🥰
👋 We love to see all those moments come together into a film too and remember all those magical moments
What a lovely career this man has.
One time I heard the owls calling like this so i tried and we had a sweet little conversation and when i walked back in my son looks at me like i was crazy 🤭
This reminded me of when I would make bird houses and hang them on the trees of my property,,,, it was always so nice to see a new renter take up residency. !!!! Great fun,,, 😁💕
Yes it’s always nice when a new nest gets a lodger especially if it’s the one you Intended 😁
Indeed!!! I was always amazed at the nests they would leave behind and the perfection and materials they used. !!! Just amazing the job they do. !!!! 😎✌✝💕@@RobertEFuller
Thank you for taking care of them ❤
Absolutley brilliant to see an owl so close up
Loved seeing the owl taking a drink! 😁
You really are a kind soul. Thank you for you tireless efforts in making these films. Owls have somehow endeared themselves to me for years, and I'd watched a pair of barn owls for over 5 years. Bird of prey are fascinating to me. Thank you for your hard work, and your narrations are great. Kindest regards from Texas, USA
Thanks for watching and your kind words 😁
Loved this progress of owl chicks to owlets - it was so informative and interesting- the mother was exciting with her husband- it always amazingly to me how they can sit on the eggs and hardly move. Instinct. I guess- and their eyesight is better than our eyes- thank you Robert Fuller! Beautiful video!
Glad you liked it Fotherdale kestrels half hour coming out tomorrow at 2pm Uk time
Truly stunning birds, such beautiful colours.
I can't believe how relaxed the chicks were when they were holding them
If you hold them wrong it’s very different but hold them correctly and they say calm and don’t struggle
What amazing parents 🤗 gosh! I also love that you help when absolutely necessary!
These little Tawnys are so cute! I hadn't known much about them before now. Wonderful video and the landscape there is stunning!
I think this might have been the first video I watched on your channel, or at least one of the first ones, back a year and a half ago or so. Watching it again feels nostalgic ☺️
Bonnie is so beautiful and such a sweetheart, thank you for helping her care for the little chicks when Ozzy wasn’t very good at it. I’m so happy Sage and Bramble got to grow up happy and healthy up until fledging 🥰 I hope they have their own families somewhere now ☺️
Merry Christmas all! I’m lowkey happy I found this channel is so relaxing to have on.
You're doing the lord's work Robert. Birds are awesome.
such a wholesome story
I am so glad you are helping when they need help
when i was 12, my friend would make the call of the Tawny at daybreak, signal for us to go rabbiting, i can still make the call 63 years on
wonderful a conservationist all my life, but as a boy, just an egg collector, sorry!
you love your vocation and les oiseaus!! and maybe those owlets would not have fledged without you help Bravo!!
Bravo e grazie per questi bellissimi documentari che fai
Great story of overcoming the odds with a little help from their friend, thank you Robert..Looking forward to an owly new year
Thanks 😊 loads more to come we have half hour on Fotherdale kestrels coming out tomorrow 2pm
@@RobertEFuller Goodie! Another treat to look forward to
its a therapy... watching ur videos
I'm so grateful you have vowed to be these birds' steward, I am at peace knowing they're in good hands. 💖
Thank you for showing this.
Thanks for watching 😀
I think it’s really cute how she uses her wings like arms to push up and out of her little hole.
Mr. Fuller your voice is sooo soothing to my anxiety! I had to subscribe...the barn owls ghost and Willow are tooo cute.
I guess the owl couple found your spy camera so they gave up 😂
That is magnificent. Keep up this GREAT work.
It was so kool to see the owl 🦉 cleaning its self in the wild🥰 thank you so much 💯 from the USA/ Maryland 🤎❣️
this is all i live for at the moment. i love this channel so much, it brings me such joy.
Thanks plenty more videos coming 😁
What can you better do on a cold evening than watch one of these super beautiful films of You? And what can the owls better do than searching for a "Fuller Cottage" in Robertland??? always food if it's necessary, a hospital or a doctor available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Okay, the life of a bird is tough, but with Godfather Robert, they are always sure of help. Thank you Mr Fuller for all that love you give to the animals. And your films are always marvellous. AND YOUR PAINTINGS TO 🌹🌱🌿🍀🦉🦉🦉🪶🐿🐰🦫🦔🦨🙂
Excellent music , nice and soft and definitely in the background instead of overpowering. An overall excellent presentation.Thank you for all the hard work that went into this video.
Glad you liked it!
Wonderful showing of the owls and their lives. Thankyou!
I love watching these videos it’s a peaceful break from everyday stress thank you for making the content you do it’s amazing ❤️
Glad you enjoy it!
That's wonderfull to watch. Merry christmas from France and merci :)
This was a lovely video; so sweet how the adults communicated to each other. It seemed so tender & kind.💜🙏💜
I'm so HAPPY I found Mr. Fuller's UA-cam channel! Robert & his amazing team's documentary style videos are absolutely incredible: lovely music turns to dramatic music when danger approaches (which gives me enough time to look away when tragedy strikes because I'm a wuss lol); black/white video v. colored video is phenomenal; the panning out to lush green gorgeous pastures; Jean & Robert carefully tagging, weighing & cuddling the little owlets, & so, so much more! I cannot imagine the time & effort his team spends creating just 1 video for us. But honestly, it's Robert's soothing, caring voice as a narrator that keeps me coming back. His videos are better than Nat. Geo! And it blows my mind that I can talk into my tv remote & say Robert's name & his spectacular videos appear on my huge flat screen tv! He's replaced my favorite TV shows. And when my daughter hears Robert's voice on my tv, she'll watch his videos with me! Thank you, Mr. Fuller. You have a grateful family of fans in America!!
Thank you for such great movies, very educational.
It's far better than watching TV.
Astounding stories make my day. Thank you, Mr. Fuller, from half the world away.
Oh. Thanks so much glad you enjoyed the film 🦉🦉
Sometimes, due to seasons being late, there's less prey. Thank goodness there's Robert to provide a helping hand.
Bonnie and you make great parents to these cute owlets. The male owl just ditched his family halfway there.
He is being a bit rubbish again this year check out our live cameras they have 4 Owlets this year
MERRY CHRISTMAS DAHLING!! A truly remarkable documentary!! 👏 👏BRAVO 👏 🙌 👌 Because of you & your expert video's I have grown to love the Tawney Owl 🦉 😀 Watching these owlets grow has been a privilege allowed only through you. Your gentle quiet voice describes & speaks so loudly of preservation of our wildlife. I love England 🇬🇧 & my heart still belongs to my British husband & his family from Stoon Coldfield W Midlands so the countryside makes me homesick for them. Thank you with all my heart for your channel. Merry Christmas from across the Pond wishing you Happy Christmas 🎄😊❤ Grandma Sherry
Omg ozzy Brooding them was the cutest thing shows that they care for their babies that was just the sweetest thing it's like he knew they needed it cause she had been gone for a little while and they were cold so he done what he needed to do so sweet
Was extremely interesting to see the tagging process, would love to see that more often. I've noticed in a couple videos between clips the chicks would get a tag but was always curious what that process entails
Tagging or ringing has to be undertaken by a qualified licensed person here in the UK. The process is quick and painless and the birds dont seem to mind. A numbered ring is carefully positioned on the leg when they are the right size - it will not move or restrict the bird in anyway and it is there so that we can monitor the birds for conservation purposes. We can see if how far a bird travels and how long they live. All this information is gathered and monitored so we can see how certain species are doing.
These videos are incredibly well done. I watch these every day and it’s both relaxing and wholesome ❤
Glad you like them!
This video should have gone viral. Fun to watch
