  • 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!

    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

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

    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. :(

    • @stanniesvb

      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.

    • @Josh_D78
      @Josh_D78 3 роки тому +21

      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.
