    There are so many barn owls in my garden it can be really difficult to tell who's who. Not only are the main characters that bred here this year difficult to spot, but there are also at least four other wild barn owls that appear most nights to try to distinguish them from.
    PICKING OUT THE MAIN BARN OWL CHARACTERS
    In this video I select the main characters whose stories we have been following on the live cams and point out the different markings and individual behavioural patterns to help you to tell the barn owls apart.
    IDENTIFYING BARN OWLS
    It's not easy, and sometimes even I get things wrong - as you'll see here I sometimes even mistake the sexes of some barn owl chicks!
    POINTERS WHEN WATCHING THE BARN OWL LIVE STREAM
    I hope it gives you some pointers as you watch the barn owl live stream. If you need something to refer back to I've also written a Who's Who-ooo on my blog here: www.roberteful...

    Seeing the owl yawn is weird. It really makes you wonder what was the original animal that passed this behavior down to so many animals across entirely unrelated genomes. I wonder what that common ancestor that all us animals that yawn are descended from was like. Everything that yawns, from humans to birds, we all carry a genetic trait that was inherited from some animal that lived so unbelievably long ago. It’s the same thing with hiccups. Maybe there is some other explanation for the yawning, but I know for sure that hiccups were inherited from a sea dwelling amphibian that we all are descended from. That animal would open its gills and take in water when it’s blood needed to be oxygenated and we carried on that trait even though we don’t have gills anymore. When you are hiccuping, you are trying to take in water from gills that you haven’t had for hundreds of millions of years because you share the same brain stem as the amphibian that hiccuped so long ago. This phenomenon of evolutionarily useless traits being retained from far past ancestors is called atavism and it’s such an interesting thing.

    What a way to start 2021: Grete is male! I have been following these 2 siblings since their birth. A special thanks to Robert for his heroic efforts in caring for those magnificent birds. I am from Brazil and I had the opportunity to encounter some owls here. The last one was perched on a palm tree looking at the sea. Quite a view.

    What a surprise, Grete (boy), my love makes no distinction of sex. So it makes no difference. Now we urgently need a name for the nameless one.

    • @xyz7572

      I think that owl is Finn! After Barney passed away, Gylfie was courted by several different males, but in the end she herself sought out and chose Finn, even though he was young and inexperienced as a parent. She must have sensed somehow that he is a gentle soul and would be a very diligent and lovely mate and parent! He is one of the kindest and sweetest owls you’ll see, it’s lovely to see him caring for Gylfie 🥰
      They are a super couple now!! They’ve had several chicks, and they’re currently having 3 chicks in the elm stump that have just hatched on the live stream 🤗

    • @nnsllvn2
      @nnsllvn2 3 роки тому +4

      @@solsticemeows no ears of research but if you watched the previous videos or the channel at all you would understand Solo was named for being the only survivor after all siblings did not survive. Usually he rings owls born there but I was guessing Solo not ringed because REF did not want to cause more trauma after all siblings were killed - feel better now?
