    What a beautiful, funny, but also sad video. You talk briefly about Finn, but nothing about Barney, Gylfie's first partner.
    Gylfie is my great owl love and I hope she lives a long time and has lots of owlets. She has found a nice, funny partner in Dryer.
    I also love the owlets' hunting and flying exercises. It looks so funny, but for the little ones it is serious and vital.
    Not only Gylfie and Dryer did a fantastic job, but also you, REF, with this video. Thank you very much for that.

      The first time I saw a barnowl in real i thought it was a snowowl. I hadn't seen a snowowl before, but the barnowl has such a vivid, vibrationed feathercoat, with those glimmering spots in it, like diamonds almost, that I thought, this must be a snowowl. (Later on, working for the animal-ambulance, I saw what a difference there is between the two, ofcourse).

  • @Nancee13
    @Nancee13 4 місяці тому +7

    One of the things that I loved watching, was how Dryer grew more and more into his role as a father. In real time watching many of the milestones, with each owl was beautiful. Cloud would scream when Thunder & Storm were at the entrance. But she did get up in the entrance very young. I loved when Dryer would sit across from Elm on his favorite branch, just watching the weather owls, before hunting. Thunder sharing food with his sisters was so cool, to watch live. Thunder was so independent and the best big brother. Then Storm & Cloud roosting together after fledging for a bit. Their bond was unique to watch too. I can’t help but tear up. I adore owls. These BO siblings were my first to follow on your channel. I have watched many of your videos. So I knew about Finn. I usually keep tissues near by when watching just in case. Not because of only sadness either. The happy moments too, can tear me up just as much. Dryer & Gylfie make a great team/pair. Dryer has definitely grown even more into his role as a father. That story to come. ;)
