That live feed is great.
I saw her earlier today, ripping up dead prey and feeding it to her two babies! They were covered in gore, but still adorable. And hungry! I had no idea baby owls could eat pieces as large as they did.
I have the worst timing, I never see anything. I’m glad there is a diligent team of people taking screenshots!
This one looks really good!
I’m glad to see the nest full of food, someone had commented they hadnt seen Mr Owl in a few days. I guess he’s just busy hunting non-stop.
I saw a post on a different site this morning. They had 3 barn owl chicks a bit old than these guys but still very small and they said they were eating 15 mice a day between the 3 of them!
These kids keep me up ALLLL NIIIIGHT!
