Little Owls | Two week old chick update| Breeding Birds Of Prey
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Two weeks on from hatching we catch up with the Little Owl chicks.
Once again they have grown .
These owls are captive bred, not taken from the wild. It is illegal in the UK to release captive bred birds into the wild. I breed a very small number of birds where there is demand from other falconers.
A few other quick facts about them:
- They will be fully feathered and ready to fly at just 6 weeks, and will be giving it a good go before then!
- They are eating raw mouse and chicken today. They can only eat raw meat. They do not eat seeds or leaves. I give them a diet that nutritionally matches a typical diet for a Little Owl in the wild. It is a mixed whole carcass meat diet.

“Stompy bum wiggle”. That sounds like a new dance (or maybe an old one from the 60s)

I thought she said "stodgy bum wiggle"...whatever, it sounds cute
The way they cuddle into a little ball, and totally accept the other baby tawny, is just heart-melting!
They're like animated dryer lint! So terribly cute.

I introduced my 12 year old son your channel a few weeks ago. He is autistic, and is absolutely in love with the owlets and especially with Fable😀 one of his new favourite things is to say “Wow,boop boop!” ,whenever I ask him a question 😂

I have to tell you about an encounter I had with a Little Owl when I was in my early teens. I think I put in another video's comment section that I am a frustrated Falconer... and although my first love are the Falcons, I have a soft spot for these little fellas... The folks were living in Turkey while dad worked on a job out there... with the job came a flat, which had a balcony off the living room, with the dining room area extending on the right side of the Living room past the balcony with a window in the side of it. One day I had noticed there was a Little Owl perched on the window sill of the Dining Room window... so I slowly went out on to the balcony and kind of peeked past the wall at the owl... we were about 15 feet apart. It didn't startle and fly off, which amazed me, but turned it's head to look at me... So as not to scare it as I got closer to the balcony edge I'd duck back close to the wall... then poke my head out a touch to see the owl... as I started to pull my head back in to move the last bit to the balcony rail I saw the owl lean out and extend it's neck to see where I was going, then return to a more normal position once I came back out into view again. I moved closer to the wall and the owl leaned out and extended it's neck to keep me in sight... I did this a few times before stopping in clear sight and just looked at this wonderfully compact bird, taking in as much detail as I could. It started to bob up and down, I guess changing it's visual perspective to get a good look at me too... but I copied it, sort of hunching down into my shoulders and back up again... we ended up doing this for a few minutes until a sudden sound from inside the house proved to much, and it flew off... Gorgeous birds, I'm grinning now from ear as I remember it... Thanks for sharing their progress with us, it's just a shame we won't be completing their growing progress with them until they turn into fully fledged Juveniles... but I wish them all well in their new homes and I just know they will delight every single person that encounters them in their new career! :o)
So, so tiny when I watched them hatching... proper little fluffbuckets now x

If I were wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you, Amy. These owls are off to a great start and, all being well, will have long, healthy lives in the care of their new guardians. More power to you all.

The way she assisted in the hatching is remarkable, isn't it? At least for a layman like me. It takes considerable knowledge of the biology of the species. Nice video.
I'm glad you were able to save the little guy who got stuck in his egg. That was close.
She said, "Stumpy bum wiggle". That makes me so happy! I love you! Thank you for sharing so much of the birds and your lives. You are all amazing to me and mine.
Can we have an owl t-shirt? Wow! Hoot hoot! It's great having watched them hatch live and seeing how big they are now.

Thank you for taking some of your precious time to film, edit and upload this unfolding story. I cannot express how much we appreciate this. You take care and stay safe. Best regards, Josie, Chris and MoJo, our Weimararner who is glued to the screen whilst you are on!
This is one of the most fascinating series I have ever watched. I love your presentation and look forward to many more. Thank you!!
The whole description of manually hatching the egg was outstanding, such dedication. Bravo!
I was wondering about the 5th. The story of the difficult hatching gave me a moment. This channel is top flight.
They're so fluffy!

Honestly, you're my personal super hero for saving that last struggling chick! Thank you very much Amy!!
They are so cute I suffer chronic depression your videos have been very nice to watch and have even cheered me up today🤠🌄🦅🇺🇸
That's just so awesome that you rescued the Tawny Owl chick. I'm glad that you're using your knowledge to help them and in turn, to learn more, you learn more about them and share that knowledge with other people.
Amy you are my hero! Working with newborns of any species is incredibly difficult. I’m a Neonatal ICU RN and adore it. I’ve been on medical leave for a while awaiting a kidney transplant in the US. I miss my babies terribly and my husband bought two bluebird houses for our home. We have a large wooded lot and he helps me by doing all the handling and cleaning of the boxes since I’m immune suppressed. We have hosted 3 -4 bluebird families each spring and I have absolutely adored looking in through a hidden plexi glass door and camera. We put out fresh meal worms to assist the parents with their caloric intake. I took up photography being home for over 2 years now and have documented our bluebirds and their chicks. It’s always an exciting couple days when the clutch fledges. I love how the females of the first clutch help the parents feed babies of the 2nd &3rd. They all return to our filtered fresh water bird bath and have become used to my nearby presence. My husband feels snubbed that he cleans up after them but they don’t perch close by when he’s enjoying our deck. Anyway, I want to thank you for your amazing work with your gorgeous raptors. You offer such a wonderful educational experience on your channel and it makes me wish falconry was more prevalent in the US. I live in Alabama in the South and do get to enjoy watching Red Shouldered Hawks, Cooper’s Hawks and Red Tailed Hawks in our area. One of the RS Hawks frequently hunts the squirrels and chipmunks that feed off our feeders. I was quite startled the first time I saw him outside my window sitting on top of the privacy fence. They are incredible!
The "aaaahh" fluffy moments are bloody lovely 🙂, but I really like the information and knowledge you pass on and in such an easily understandable way for us newbs .
Can't believe it's already been 2 weeks. They a so cute 🥰
So fascinating:) thank you! Happy Mother’s Day, you are a mother to all your little chicks 🐣 ❤️
Your love for these birds is beautiful to see, shows what a beautiful person you are.
In the ten-or-so years that I've been on KZread this is the first video I've ever seen with well over two thousand likes and not a single dislike. This channel is the most wholesome thing ever!
Those little gorgeouses, are so adorably grumpy!
Can't believe it was just 2 weeks ago we were watching these little ones hatch. They're amazing 😍xxx
Amy you are so knowledgeable and so caring. I can imagine this is a dream job for you. I enjoy watching them grow so much. Thanks for putting updates on. Xx
Happy mother's day. You deserve it for taking care of all of your fluff balls
So great to see they are still doing so well and to hear of the rescue of the little Tawny Owl chick by the magical Owl Angel. Thanks for all your work, but isn't that what angels do? Boop! Boop! and more...
I've got my little owl coming in a couple of weeks can't wait I've never worked with such a small bird before but it will be a steep learning curve from my male Harris

OMG - LOVE this channel! Thank-you!!
thank you for sharing this with us!
I can't believe how big they've gotten! And their eyes are open!! Such gorgeous eyes! I was amazed at the patience you had to get that little guy out of his shell. If he was in the wild, he wouldn't have made it. (sometimes the circle of life still makes me cry) But you did it!!!👍🏻🦉 Question- When do you find out the sex of these little ones from the shells you sent off? How do you decide which one goes to which falconer? I'm glad you mentioned why you couldn't show the other chicks who are being raised by their parents. We wouldn't want to interrupt their care!! Thank you for opening your wonder filled world to us!! All this is truly amazing! Looking forward to the next video already!!! Just to see how they have changed. Much Love!👍🏻💞
Thank you for the update...!
