Your owl next needs a robotic BB turret full automatic so when the other birds come to plug up the nest, the system makes sure they get their necessary shots LOL Problem solved. I saw a guy build a computer that would shoot the wings off mosquitos that passed a certain point and was near 100% effective. Its easy enough to do.

Fun fact, Fin the Barn Owl actually started working for Robert last year. So you know, Fin was just dropping by for a quick check up and to validate if they needed some last-minute lighting changes. Once he confirmed the cameras were working correctly, and the egg was in good shape, he went to check in on the Kestrel nest. Really smart hire on Robs part. Sure, he prefers his pay in dead rodents, but he's great for the night crew and is surprisingly good with electronics.

BABIES!!! Never ceases to amaze me how strong the drive of Motherhood is. Even in us men. I had an owl get caught in a rat trap one night, found it that morning with a broken leg. I missed school that day, too busy at the Vet's and then being given a crash course by Fish and Wildlife. We nursed him back to health in the house, and released him once healed. I was the only one that interacted with him, and then it was with props and desire to not get him accustomed to humans. But, for years after, I would randomly have an owl appear out of nowhere and land on my shoulder.

"oh my gersh, muh babies, why haven't my babies hatched I'm so sad and depressed I'm going to go eat a tub of ice cream and blame my partner, then go kill myself." Its simply chemical responses, it's a form of feelings that all living things share. We are mostly the same in that regard, but we have the ability to, you know, be conscious. You don't think to yourself when you smell cut grass, "oh my god, those poor grass creatures screaming out and crying in pain. That's so horrible, they must feel so bad. They however understand being cut in half as "pain" so what invalidates their pain? But it would be monstrous to cut a bunch of owls in half.

She says bruh too

She came in to see her new chicks, and at least 5 mice strewn about the nest. She thought her eggs hatched and Bomber was on an absolute tear. The absolute surge of emotion must have been so great at that moment.

Plot twist they coudnt understood, it was Divine help

It was so obvious that Donnie's first leap isn't actually a first as it looked so much more skilled when leaping onto the branch compared to the actual first timers xD

This toenail documentary was really emotional and wholesome. 10/10, the mrs. loved it!

I love how the spark in her eyes came back after the babies appeared and there was food there. She seemed so sad about the eggs and then POOF babies! It made me want to cry it was so cute.

This is delightful. Choked me up seeing 5 of the 6 sitting on the Branch together.🦉

What incredible filming, like a secret window into the lives of these owls! It's been said that "nature is the author and man is the editor." You were certainly the editor for Luna & Bomber and their adopted owlets - very special to watch!

I know birds don't necessarily experience emotions the exact same way we do, but the way she reacted to the first Jackdaw barricade vs the rest is so starkly different. It was like the first time she was genuinely depressed, but afterwards with her chicks she's back to her usual self.

And yet it's scary how (naturally!) their lives hang by a thread when the jackdaws block them in - twice! This is very much about human help, too. Scary. Nature has no mercy, no morality. Humanity is supposed to "rise above" that reality, yet proves over and over that ruthless tribal selfishness rules us, too.

Haha it's so funny how Boomer is constantly sent out by Luna, but still comes back as a mate and a father. They have such a wonderful and loving relationship.

This is God’s work and I am here for all the owls. Bomber really gets the short end of the stick but i am sure he loves the babies just as much as Luna ❤️

So cute when bomber arrives to see the chicks and she starts kissing him like she missed him and immediately is like GO GET FOOD DAMMIT!!!!

For me its so shocking how much one can read in the owls eyes. Luna seems almost depressed when the eggs arent hatching, and then shes so surprised when she comes back and all excited to be a momma two big chicks. She seems protective over them for Bomber too, hahah.

It's quite remarkable the bonding that goes on here, Bomber as a dad dutifully does his bit returning to bring food, many men and indeed women could learn from this, we are all important in nurturing and bringing up offspring, it is a big aspect of what is wrong within our societies , we could and should learn from nature, parenting has a huge element of duty about it. Great film Robert and the gang well done!

Luna must have been so confused and excited all at once. Imagine your pregnant wife leaves the house to go to the doctors, and finds out she’s had a miscarriage, and when she arrives back at home, there’s 2 newborn babies, and 3 pizzas left for her on the bed! That’s basically what Luna went through! But I think she’ll be an amazing foster mom all the same!

@anti-ethniccleansing465

Жыл бұрын

No. I’m pretty sure that as far as Luna knows, her eggs hatched fast while she was out and about during the day. I think if she had figured out that her eggs were duds, she would have left them by that point.

imagine children are just continually being dropped off at your door. Parents are like "oh COME ON!"

Nature is so beautiful. That little yawn was so cute. This is so amazing to see.
