It's so funny to see them sitting like a chicken!
Cock a doodle hooooooo!
What you looking at...
They always look so expressif
I just got this one!
It's too stuffy under here!
Is this the Superb Owl I kept hearing about over the last week?
Yes, there is occasionally some trademark infringement by another group, but they usually stop using it around this time.
While this owl family is definitely very superb, there are a few others if you look around! We have owls for every occasion.
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!
