- These could be the most famous eagle owls in the world: the owls that were raised in a planter owned by Jos Baart. Now, it is time to release them into the wild. Six months worth of work by @NHCopglabbeek just flies off. That's enormously satisfying!

Wait a second... and you guys didn't invite Jos to the release?!?!?!? Shame on you
Yeah, so where is Jos?
true
Totes agree
i just watched the original video a moment ago and thought: I NEED an update.
THANKS.
My thoughts exactly ;)
When I was 7 yrs old I found a baby owlet near a huge English Walnut tree in my backyard. He had fallen out of the nest. For many days we observed him, but finally brought him home and raised him on hamburger. My mom was a 3rd Grade School Teacher so she would bring him to class for the children to watch and for him to observe them. Finally he got so huge that we took him to Alum Rock Museum and I think he stayed there and visited classrooms all over San Jose. Interesting story. Y
didn't know owls eat hamburgers
@Galadrielen 1950s
hope they return to visit him sometimes :)
Owls are very disliked by many other birds because they are " killers of the night", so i wondered why you released then during daylight, as they would be harassed by virtually every bird they encounter until dark.
Anyway, thankyou for everyone involved in assisting these wild owls reach maturity.
They are certainly beautiful looking birds and i hope they have a healthy, sustainable population.

Glad you shared the rest of their story and new beginnings - grateful for you all taking such great care of them as well as the homeowner.
Wonderful to have the follow up. I was curious to know what happened to those big fluff balls
Bless this man for what he does for the owls..
thanks for sharing, i thought "yea 4 giant owls right in the city, that are not scared of humans? this will be a problem..:" good job!
so happy they were so well taken care of and looks like they will all have bright futures ahead of them! thank you so much for all your hard work!
Vroege Vogels, the music you pick for your videos...damn, so gooood! I shazamed them and now I can hear again! thank you!
Did the mama owl go with her babies? How did she react to the babys being taken away?
its a bird dude .once the chicks reach a certain size its -fuck of,f you are on your own.
@@bladerj I meant when they were taken away when they were fluffy babies.
@@bladerj lol
@@lorraineniece8813 They weren't taken away as tiny chicks, but as fledglings who already left the nest and hopped on the street. That's why the owner of the apartment, Jos, called the specialists. At that age, while the parent birds would still feed them, they'd take care less and less. The parents might've been surprised at the disappearance, but without intervention the kids would've died in the concrete jungle and stopped calling for food just the same.
@@MoonshineMist I was trying to touch the like sign and accidentally pressed the dislike image. Can't get it to work. I really appreciate your explanation.

Very cool
bedankt jongens!
I have to dissapoint you, the most famoust eagle owl in the world is Yoll!
it is been almost a year. any update?
Uitstekend!
I know about the mama , but they kept flying near the street -
I wonder is their mom know this?
Auf welcher Sprache sprechen sie? Ich kann nicht verstehen
Dutch
Nederlands / Niederlandisch!
New to me he type said (MEI) .
I type me I search . it said MEI mean May.
I'm a vegetarian but just for a second I wondered what their legs would... no, I can't do it.
They were doing just fine with the mother. Why take them away?
because they kept landing in the street where cars drive and they couldn't fly away properly. At that age they could barely get 10 feet off the ground and can only do short flights
I wonder what the survival rate would be of these birds being released in broad day light after living in captivity for months and having such a traumatic journey. Sure their outlook may have looked bleak on a window sill but their mother would have been coming back to check on them and some of them would likely have survived better adapted to urban environments.
The reason she nested there in the first place was probably better understood by her than any human could know. Releasing animals into others territory can put all the animals involved lives at risk. I wish it was a happy ending but it seems like a classic case of humans thinking they know better than nature again... Having worked at an animal rescue center I know first hand that releasing animals into the wild unfortunately has very poor survival rates and taking them from her mum when she was still around and they were still all healthy seems like good intentions but a very poor decision.
The chicks were repeatedly falling off of the windowsill into a street. Y'know, where cars pass by all the time. It sounds like the odds of being run over were extremely high. They also had no way to ever return to the nest after falling out onto the street without human intervention. Buildings don't have handholds to aid an owlet climb back up, and the nest was very high up. Those owlets would have inevitably died without human intervention after falling from the nest, but vehicle or predator. Also, not sure if urban environments are good places for owls to live. I've rarely heard of them living in those environments, at the very least. Like, sure, it would've definitely been best that the owlets were raised by their parents in the forest as the species is adapted to do, but let's not act like the windowsill without human intervention was a very good place to nest. It seems fairly obvious that they were just going to wind up dead eventually there, at least now they've lived to adulthood.
Why Jos Baart wasn't invited :(
Hoe bedoel je de stad is geen goede plek. Blijkbaar ging het prima kijk hoe groot ze al waren. Als er echt tr weinig was zouden ze zijn dood gegaan maarja
Vanaf de eerste minuut word het goed uitgelegd. Als ze niet waren weggehaald zouden ze waarschijnlijk zijn doodgereden of doodgemaakt door andere dieren op de grond.
Not a word about the mother. So you separated the mother and her chicks? That’s not humane, that’s cruel. Only orphaned baby animals should go to rehabs and shelters. They had their mother taking care of them. She would have done a better job raising them, and they all would have left. They didn’t need your interference. What you did is wrong on all counts. According to all wildlife related recommendations never should a parent be separated from babies. You should have taken the mother with them, OR left them alone. Darn meddling humans. :(
I am not sure what the common policies are regarding this, but I think you should take into account that most animals don't feel sad and do not need their mother after they are grown up. Isn't it normal for them to leave their parents after growing up? The animals were not safe next to the window of the man at the start of the video, so it was a good idea to intervene in the first place as well. If I am wrong please correct me, but as I see it as of now, they helped these owls just fine.
@@stanniesvb if you think animals "don't feel sad," you should not be around any animals, and I hope you don't have pets. There have been numerous studies in animal ethology and psychology that demonstrate rich emotional lives of many species. So, get informed before spewing this reductionist nonsense about animals
@@zzc8505 I think a big part of our connection with animals is the result of us projecting human-like capacities on animals. I do not think animals do not feel anything, but definitely not as much as a human being could. I am here speaking only of intelligent creatures. Do not worry about my relationship with the furry creatures, I am probably one of the biggest animal friends around and care very much for them. I'd love to hear your comment on my other points (that it is normal for owls to leave their parents when they become self-sufficient and that the owls were in danger growing up in the middle of a neighbourhood)
The owls kept falling out of the window box nest onto the sidewalk and Jos was picking them up every day and putting them back. Weren't you paying attention? Clearly it is not safe for owlets to be on a city sidewalk.
Use your brain and think about it for once. The baby owls likely would have died if they had not been relocated because they kept falling out of the nest and landing on the sidewalk and street. Keep in mind that early on when they first leave the nest they are only capable of short flights and typically can not go higher than 10 feet.
