Finn was the sweetest, smartest owl I’ve ever seen. He just wanted to have a family 😭

Finn was my favorite owl out of the bunch. Not only was he younger than some of the others, but he was devoted mate and father to Gylfie and his young. So, knowing he won't be around anymore kind of stings. Still, I'm glad Gylfie and the others are safe. Rest in Peace Finn!

I was thinking about that. And about the legacy of Robert's work re: the next generation. His words at the end were...❤❤❤

Thank you for helping the chicks survive and guarding the safety of the birds. You are truly an artist and a naturalist.

So kind of you, thanks for supporting my work!

Thanks to Jean Thorpe and Robert, Finn got 4 years of life and left a legacy in the chicks he bred. But his loss still hurts. RIP, Finn. Every time I go to bed, as I climb the stairs, I see a picture of a barn owl painted by Robert which was my retirement present from the Physics dept. I couldn't have wished for anything better.

It's a good reminder to all of us to help make our homes and communities safer for wildlife. RIP Finn.😢

Part of following this great channel is getting such terrible news. Finn was an absolutely fantastic owl mate and dad. He gave us all such joy and will live on in his descendants and in our hearts. Thank you yet again, Robert. I am happy to have a spot in my heart where Finn will always be flying free.

Finn was such a special owl. 🕯 I cried watching this. I miss him so. I know it must have been hard for you too @Robert E Fuller.

Omg the older baby helping feed its younger sibling is soo cute! 😭

I cried again today watching this video it brought it all back to that awful day we were told Finn had drowned.. I can't believe how attached I get watching these birds on my TV screen. I miss Finn, Willow, Mrs Kes, Mr Kez and their wonderful offspring Jeff 😢

@@AshXXMayftw Willow and Mr. Kes went missing without a trace, so they're probably dead, while Mrs. Kes could've died of injuries she sustained after many fights with other birds.

Rest in Peace, Finn! You will always be remembered.

Finn's story had to be told. So beautiful to see the brood grow and thrive. Thank you for being the conservator and documentarian you are. Your films and resident critters bring so much joy and hope.

Finn was and is the sweetest, knew how to be a great partner and father. . Plus, 3 parliaments means that Finn’s legacy will live on. . .

I m so sorry. RIP sweet Finn.

I am still unable to watch this video in it's entirety. Sorry, Mr. Fuller, I still feel the loss.

Hi, Robert! I miss so much about Finn's death!!! He was a special owl, a very dedicated and brave dad, that fulfilled his mission with honor!!! Thank you for your help, increasing the food for the poor chicks!! You are a very great stepfather!!!👏 Rest in peace dear Finn, we will miss you!!! 🦉😔🙏

😢Gosh.. got hit so hard in the feels when you showed his fate.. to be honest, wasn't expecting that you would do so o-o poor Finn :( seeing how green he had turned because of how long he was there, and how small he looked when you held him in your hands🕯Rest his sweet soul.

I love seeing these stories. Condolences for Finn. He was a good and devoted dad to his family.

That's one thing I love about this channel. Not only do you get education on wildlife EVERYwhere now.... you get involved in their lives inbthe wild! Thank you Robert for all your hard work & dedication 👏 Bravo!!! 🫠😃😄❤️✨️💖💕

That shot at 8:05 brings tears to my eyes. Somebody a couple months ago showed me a picture of Finn feeding one of the Tawny fledglings on the maze wall! I didn't start coming here until this spring after he was already gone, but when they showed me that photo I could see why he was so loved by everybody. Such a sweet and special owl. 😪

Such a sad loss. Go with God Finn.

Oh Robert that is soo sad. After all your loving care to lose Finn must have been devastating. I was crying myself just now. 😢

What a tragedy for Finn but you managed to find his body, we were not left wondering about his disappearance. He had a good life and got some owlets to adulthood. His legacy lives on.

So sad, he was a great mate and Dad.

Finn's avid fans all mourned his drowning. He was such a FAB DAD 'n partner. Loved him 💔

I'm so glad you recognized Finn's disappearance. Thank you so much, for helping the chick's. Poor Finn😢

Finn was my introduction to this channel. I miss him.

Never expected an owl to die by drowning…. tragic. I know Monty Don from Gardener’s World always mentions the importance of including a step or way out, for any garden pond, to prevent tragedies like this one. These wee owlets were so fortunate to have excellent parents, and humans available to help in the food procurement.

all animals can drown

So sorry for the loss of Finn. He was such a beautiful, special owl, and a truly wonderful dad. He will be greatly missed.❤

I'm really gonna miss Finn. He was such an amazing dad and a very devoted mate to Gylfie.

I'm still crying when I saw Finn in the water trough😭 , you will always be in my heart my dear beloved Finn

That is very sad. Will always remember him

Oh Finn. He was such a wonderful mate. So dutiful and loving. Whenever he found other nests and eggs he would just seem interested and tap the eggs. Leaving after that. Not wanting to bother the nest. I will miss him so much.

I remember when you got Finn. Beautiful creature. Thank you for all you do and share.

Finn is a barn that will be dearly missed.

Glad the chicks are looked after by you and Gylfie. …..thank you

So sad to hear about Finn. He will be missed by us all.

💔🥲 Rest easy handsome Finn.

Fern soon made up for that size difference, she's an absolute unit now. Loosing Finn was devastating to the community, Last season in general was terrible in the regard that we lost so many friends.

Really sad. Finn took care of the chicks so well.... May he rest in peace..

RIP Finn, we miss him.

I'm devastated. I've followed Finn from his start on your channel. He was so precious and to lose him in such a senseless way. I know it breaks your heart more than ours. Sending love your way.

Man I definitely wasn't expecting that :( fly high fin❤

That is so sad.. I’m so sorry for your loss😢

Poor Finn, he was truly a one-of-a-kind owl and I feel blessed to have watched him be a wonderful young father. I'll miss him a lot!

I remember when I heard the news about Finn, I was so devastated. I have watched the streams, and you can see how Finn is very attentive and tender for Gylfie. We have lost a lot of favorite birds in the past year, and Finn was one of them. Fortunately, the 3 chicks grew up to be strong and healthy, and Finn's legacy lives through them

Oh my goodness. Finn, you brought beautiful life into the world, and you will be missed very much.

Oh no! How heartbreaking. I am so sorry.😢😢

Finn will live in owl heaven. He will be remembered 😢

Finn is the sole reason for me to watch the barn owl, he will be missed. RIP Finn.

Oh this was heartbreaking to watch. 😢Poor Finn and poor you for finding him like that, Robert, so sad. I'm glad he had a few good years and was able to pass on his genes, he was such a beautiful barn owl! Hope his line continues on for a long time...🌟

Dang it! There I was having a relatively happy day & now my eyes are leaking! Finn was indeed a "special owl". I admire all the Barn owl parents, but he had real personality & character above & beyond the others - I still miss him in the feed ...😇😢

So much tenderness and beauty as well as hardship, struggle and sometimes tragedy. Finn was such a committed provider. Rest now, dear laddie. You worked so hard and tirelessly. I will miss you. 😔

Aw, Finn was the best - always by Gylfie's side ❤ RIP Finn, we miss you.

Nature has you know has the unique, the amazing, but sometimes the worst too😢. I know is difficult to not get emotions for this animals( and you more, you take care of then, help then , you see this grow up, raising famaly,etc,etc ) ,but we have to not attach very much to then like a invisible barrier, to when this happend we not go dow😢, i know its hard ,,,its hard for me and i m a Simple viewer ( i spend many hours in different species around the World and when bad things happen it broke my heart😢) . But like you know its nature/wildlife when all can hapend. Keep going your amazing work ,Robert 💪💪. The nature , the World, millions of persons enjoy your dedication ❤. Regards from Portugal 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

RIP Finn. He's flying around with a halo now. 😢

Forever in our hearts Finn. 😢 ❤

Well, I knew from the title it was gonna be sad. 😮‍💨 I thought it was going to be the youngest chick not making it, but no... 😭 My condolences to you, Robert. This must've really hurt.🥰🤗 Thank you for helping Gylfie feed up her babies, in Finn's honor. See you next time. 😁😘💖👍👍👋

Finn was such a good Owl Father and he and Gylfie will always be my favorite barn owl couple.

The death of Finn touched me.

It just makes me smile & warms my heart what good parents Gylfie & Finn are. After loving on the oldest,she nestles in & looks like she smiles at the camera. She so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

So sad made me cry again, Finn was my favourite special owl. I have lots of pot owls in my garden. I now have a very large pot owl 🦉 called Finn RIP Finn xx

Poor Finn he was so amazing it must of been so devastating for you to see finn in the water 😢when I see griffin I see finn again thank you for you love and dedication

1:40. The way Mama rips the eyes, brains, and face of the mouse into small edible chunks is SO CUTE!!!!

Finn was such a gentle & special soul. I never forget he visited other birds' nests and didn't hurt their eggs. Thank you Finn for giving us enjoyment and RIP beautiful soul. ❣🦉 Thanks, Robert for taking care of these beautiful birds.

He was a great father. He will be missed.

Robert, We all should be grateful for your contributions in trying to maintain a natural area for the Barn Owls. As you look ahead, just remain focused on your scientific records and videos in helping educate the public, who follow your postings.

My brother and his wife love barn owls. I never understood until I found this channel.

I feel really sad about this. They were (are) such a wonderful family to follow. Bless Finn!! May he rest and peace!! Such an amazing bird!! ❤

NO FINN WAS MY FAVORITE, He was always so caring and kind. I’m actually sad rn and I can’t imagine how you feel Mr Fuller

This is so sad 😞

R.I.P. Finn You will be missed

I'm so sorry for your and our loss of Finn. He would not have had the chance to live wild and free without your dedication and obvious love. Fly high, dear Finn.

Poor Finn. We had a possum do the same thing in our garage a few weeks ago. Climbed into a 5 gallon bucket of water for my dog and couldn’t get out. I felt horrible about it. 😢 RIP Finn. Fly high

Heartbreaking news, I’m so sorry Robert.

Well that is a darn shame. i thought by the title is was one of the chicks which would be bad enough, but Finn! We all feel the loss today. Thank you for being transparent about his passing.

RIP Finn 😢 You do such a great job of caring for all these animals and those water troughs must’ve saved so many lives. It’s incredibly sad about Finn but glad that new generations of owls including his children will grow up strong and healthy. It’s always heartbreaking losing a wild animal you have a particular bond with, especially because it’s hard to find out what happened sometimes, and it’s an unpredictable world out there. I’m glad Finn was found in the end. Thank you for all you do for all the animals! ❤

RIP Finn. You were a very special owl and a great dad.

Now I wish I didn’t know about beautiful Finn can’t imagine how hurt you were your wildlife’s work is a true blessing for so many that now are there in Englands second to none country side .so sorry for your incredible loss .

I was devastated about finn. I've been following him since he got there. My heart is broken. Beautiful Beautiful finn.

Sad. Rip owl

Thank you, dear REF. Can't watch this yet. Too raw still. But so glad there is this record of Finn's wonderful life and sad passing.

I can hear the pain in his words about Finn’s death, and this is what made me cry. The owner of the channel has a big heart and unparalleled humanity. I loved him. ♥

your team is like another parent to those birds. Love from India Goa

Finn was a terrific Dad. He'll be missed. Thanks for taking over his role.

I am so sorry! I love animals, all kind, and I feel so bad to see a dead beautiful animal.Thanks for what you for them. People like you inspire us to help animals.

So sorry Finn...you were such a great Dad...and partner...poor babies and Gilfy...they will miss you.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Robert. You looked after him since he was a baby. Finn was beautiful and he lived a good life, even if it was short. His chicks will carry on his legacy.

RIP Finn, we will miss you!

Finn beautiful Owl so sorry for the loss. Loved thay you share this us. Your work work amazing...❤

Rip Finn. Such a good boy, father, mate.

Barely 4 years old. So short. Tragic circumstances. Finn didn't deserve this 😢. Finn would be proud of Gylfie raising the brood herself, with great help from REF. RIP little fella.

RIP Finn. He will be missed. Thank you for this video.❤❤❤

What a shame about Finn, definitely a tragedy. Thank you for helping these owls and all the other creatures, you definitely have a generous and caring heart as well as being multitalented.

RIP Mr. Finn. I thank you for sharing all of these wonderful videos with the world as they are genuinely a gift for me.

Robert, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thanks for all you do to give all wildlife a fighting chance. 💝

What an unfortunate accident. It’s a comfort to know his genetics contributions will live on in your local barn owl populations for generations to come.

We will miss Finn like we miss Barney.

RIP Finn. You were such a loving dad
