Hello from NZ! I am a ecologist and work in threatened bird conservation. Great work rescuing that owl! You guys did a great job, but a future tip for everyone. When releasing birds, try to release them onto something. If it's a small bird you can let it go on your hand, or a bigger bird on a ledge or the ground. If they are stressed and out of energy they might take a few moments to recover, so they could drop to the ground and hurt themselves. But it was clear this owl still had lots of energy as you walked to the window, it was ready to fly. So well handled 😊

Glad you enjoyed it!

Tip in case you find another bird that doesn't fly away: Put them in a cardboard box in a (warm) quiet place for a while so they can calm down. Wild birds use a lot of energy if they are stressed and quickly get exhausted. If it still doesn't fly, try to find out if there's a wildlife rescue close to you. I ringed birds for a while and when the smaller ones got too tired/cold to fly away we would put them in a little cotton bag and I put them inside my hoodie to warm up.

I had a young starling trapped in my flu, but it had fallen right through into the log burner itself. Thankfully no fires had been lit in it for a while, so we could rescue the frightened little thing, but the noise it made calling to its wider flock, was really loud, and frightening for us until we found what it was.. When we took it outside, we were amazed to see the flock all sitting on our roof and telephone wires, waiting, and they all immediately flew in sequence round and round our garden skies, happy for its return. (I live in the country).

I love your interactions with Benoit. What a great friend he has become to you and all of us. We love his humor.

It is one thing to follow you creating such a beautiful home and life for your family , but it warms my heart even more to see your loving friendship with Benoît and how the Chateau has brought you all into each others lives. That is the real success. I personally love when I get to work with my friends. Thanks for sharing.

Phillip, Your explanation of the pros and cons of using Anna'a scissors! I now understand that my son used the same method in using my fabric scissors on his skateboard grip tape. He had the extra reprieve of time as I might not notice for a length of time possibly months before I would sit down to cut fabric and if luck was on his side he was out and not at home.

Any video with Benoît is a great one! Add in an owl rescue and Philipp’s precise measurement skills and it’s a 10 out of 10! 🎉😂❤

I got the impression that the owl knew that you were going to help it. I was surprised how calm it was! What a beautiful creature!

Choose your battles wisely. Phillip just gave permission for a brand new pair of scissors.

It is always a pleasure to watch vlogs from this charming family. The posts are light hearted, informative and are accompanied by gorgeous music.

Philip blushed when you called him your hero 🥰

Thank you for saving the owl! My goodness! I think you handled it very calmly! What an exciting vlog!🤓🤩🙏🏼

Y’all did a great job rescuing the owl! I am so glad you heard it, Anna! We had a duck in our fire box one it. At least the owl didn’t fly around your beautiful room! He sat there waiting for Philip to rescue him!

The owl clearly felt comfortable being saved by the young handsome builder…….The music as Anna was painting so hauntingly beautiful full of angst and longing. The French language is just so sexy …..as I’ve said before the dapper Benoit is the thinking woman’s eye candy 😍 love you all from New Zealand 🇳🇿

Bravo, Philipp. We had a pair of crows who broke in through our stove whilst we were away and caused a bit of a mess. Sadly one died, and although we released the other he hung around for weeks looking for his mate. Lesson learned - we never leave a stove door open now and have the tops wired up, but so sad. We also had an owl who came into my study one evening. We opened the window and he left during the night.

It was so beautiful to see her fly always and the music was perfect it always is ❤❤❤❤❤

As an aussie, what I do love is the humour! Great job saving the Owl, such beautiful creatures.. Love this family and Benoit as well..

Phillip, truly a hero for saving this beautiful owl 🦉 so proud of you both ❤

Love the owl rescue and everything else. Philip always makes me laugh just love what you are doing 🙂

As always you both are doing great work with determination and humor. Results are spectacular. Yay, you guys saved the owl!!!!

It is better to ask forgiveness than ask for permission. Your daughter is brilliant 😄 Glad you rescued the owl.

So glad you heard the owl and were able to save it. It's great to see Benoit again!

Goodness Phillip that was really stressfull, well done...

Fabric scissors also work well for poking holes in the earth to plant flower bulbs.

I've rescued owlettes, still with down, from various situations, and in my opinion, you all did a great job rescuing that gorgeous creature! (I am not an expert just a novice rescuer at the moment😊) Now, back to the episode to see what sage advice Philip will wow us with, and that which Anna will deal with.😂

Dear Anna, I think when it’s Philipp’s birthday or maybe for Valentines Day buy him some fabric scissors of his very own! That was a very lucky owl to have fallen down your chimney flue. You rescued him quickly where he wasn’t hurt or traumatized. Benoit is the best!!! xx

We used to live in an old house built in the late 1800's in Minnesota & we could never figure out how the bats got in... they terrified me & I shrieked, begging my husband to come home and take care of the problem. I'm sure they were getting into the attic and then crawled over a small space/crack over the doorway from the second floor to the attic. ~Tara (kindlydude's wife)

I had that happen to me once. I called animal control and this big man showed up, opened the doors to my wood burner and this tiny bird flew right at him and scared the bejeezes out of him. Luckily, I had opened the door and it flew out. Glad your owl is safe.

Well done, saving the owl!

You are *both* my heroes! I'm sure the owl was almost as frightened as both of you were... Thanks for rescuing the poor thing!

Hello Darlings❤ Thank you for saving the bird. This Bedroom is going to be dreamy. Lots of love to you all &🐶❤️

Well done on saving the owl. For a young handsome man you did a great job on tiding up.

Saving of the owl was wonderful, great teamwork. I agree with you about reading instructions, Philipp. Doing things "correctly" is completely subjective. Once again, you prove to be the perfect combination of brains & braun.

Wonderful music choices …as usual ….and you saved the owl !

Awhh Anna. So sweet you are.

Well done Phillip!

I look forward to these episodes the same way i used to look forward to "Friends" back in the 90's. Exciting, hilariously funny and interesting. My kids used to joke that the police would be called and they would be thrown in jailnif my fabric scissors were used by anyone but me! Another stellar video! Thank you! Have a wonderful week! Xx

The owl made my day - we had a blue bird in our wood fireplace a few summers back. I was so thankful our daughter happened to see movement (we don't use the fireplace in the summer) as it would definitely have died in there. It was a successful rescue as well and has not happened again - thankfully! Nice work guys! Too bad the girls were not there to see such a beautiful bird up close. 🙂

Loved this video. As always Benoit and Phillip together are so funny to watch.

Philip I think you should be wearing a cape ohhh hero ❤

So naughty using Anna’s scissors! Also, may I say, very brave 🤦‍♀️ the wrath of Anna - not the owl 🦉 but that was quite brave too!

Owl rescue ❤ ❤ ❤ as a child I recall my Dad had to resort to removing bricks from a masonry chimney breast to release what turned out to be an enormous trapped crow. It all turned out fine but it is quite the experience. What a gorgeous thing your uninvited guest was & very well done on such a slick rescue.

I agree with juliecoop. Fabric scissors are ONLY for fabric. It's a sewer's #1 rule. But since you've already used them for paper you owe Anna a trip to the sharpeners shop. It's the least you can do. By the way you did an awesome job with the 🦉 Owl. 👍👍

Wonderful episode. Yay the owl rescued. Well done. Yes fabric scissors must be always hidden from men💕but sometimes I hide them so well i can’t find them. The house is looking so beautiful. I love everything you have done. Hello from icy Oregon 💕

I LOOOOOVE that you saved the owl!!!!!! I’m a bird rescuer and you did the right thing but you must cover the top of the chimney! But bravo to you!!!

Well done, Phillippe! I was soooooooo scared for the little owl would get hurt, and of course, you too! I did the same thing when a friend said their was a GIANT bat in her bathroom. She made it sound like a raptor but it was just a tiny, frightened little creature. Moving ever so slowly and gently putting a towelover it to make sure its delicate wings weren't injured, got it to the window and let go and it happily flew away! Whew!

We have a woodstove with a metal chimney. There is a cover on top with some holes around the sides. Three separate times over the years a bird has decided to go down the holes into the chimney. It has been the same kind of bird each time! We has to take out the plate in the top of the woodstove to let them out. Then we had a zoomy sooty bird in the living room. It does make a scary sound! I love your videos and adventures! Have a warm cozy week!

This reminds me of the hummingbird that flew into my apartment one night. It liked to fly around my high ceilings and skylights. Which was torture to watch for over an hour. Finally it wore itself out and I could pluck it from the baseboards and throw it off the balcony. It was scary and sad. Luckily my cat just watched the whole time. Phew! Well done you two! 👏💙

We live in a single story house in Australia. A few years back we fitted a similar fire to yours, it was in the summer so had not tried to light it. One day I was sat in my armchair next to the fire and through the glass, I saw a huge huntsman spider! They are not venomous but pretty scary to look at....he was about 5" across (with the legs) but there was no way I was going to 'rescue' that beasty. I trust he left the same way he came in.

Very nice episode. it was hilarious when the owl was revealed and had alternating blinking eyes. The blur to cover the crack of the man of the house when he was tackling the shower was a nice esthetic touch of cinematography.

Phillip!! The Saver of Owls!! Bravo!! 🎉

Well executed owl rescue. You two rock!

Thank goodness you saved that beautiful owl. I had a crow once fall down into my log burner (it was not on) so I opened the glass door, and managed to get it to go out of the window, poor thing, what a shock it must have been for it. Birds just seem to like going down chimneys it seems! xxx

You two crack me up. Sir Philip the Owl Saver.

A very exciting owl rescue! I’m so surprised it fell down the chimney!So thankful you heard it and helped it outside!

What about adding a strong, rigid screen over the top of the flue on the roof? Google says: Bird screens are great at keeping unwanted visitors out, but they are not the only tool for this job. Both a chimney cap and a top-end damper work well for keeping out birds, raccoons, and other woodland creatures too. They also work to help prevent downdrafts, leaks, and debris buildup, too. You are both kind-hearted souls for your concern about the trapped owl. Great job freeing it!

I once had the privilege of saving a hummingbird. It was a male and had spent hours fighting off other males and finally could fight no longer. As he fell, I was able to catch him. I made a cup of sugar water and holding him in my hands I gently held his beak in the sugar water until he began to rally. As soon as he began trying to flutter I released him. Needless to say I was very happy to see him fly away.❤

Every year we had Jackdoors falling down onto our Inglenook register plate. We had a log burner and a trap door into that plate. I used to put a long stick in , the Jackdoors would jump on the stick which I then gently pulled out and put them out the window. I got quite good at it over the twelve years we lived there. It was usually baby birds that fell out the nest in the top of the chimney. All good fun.

Oh great owl rescue!! 🎉

A handsome man saving an owl, now that was nice to see. Very good Anna you directing Philip to save the owl. I believe most people put some metal screening over the top of their chimneys and that way nothing can enter, otherwise it may happen again. So so lucky that owl was saved.

Great job Philipp! You saved the owl! Bravo!

The owl was so cute! It reminded me of a tiny "Northern Saw-Whet Owl" that is found in a portion of the United States, although I realize that it could not have been one. I ❤ that this wasn't planned, it just shows some of the 'happenings' in the Chateau and Philip turned out to be a hero!😊👍 Great video!

Loved that you could save the owl, such a beautiful bird. I was amazed that it didn't panic and fly when you approached, whenever we have had birds in the house they panic and fly into things. Wonder how it could get in through your chimney topper, our chimney sweep told me birds can't get into the flue with a 'top hat' in place. Love the design for the wardrobes and vanity, just know it wil be stunning having seen Benoit's work in the kitchen. ❤
