ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Their story
Finn and Gylfie first hooked up together towards the end of 2022. Finn was just two years old and this was his first breeding season. At times his inexperience led to some amusing gaffs!
From clumsy courtship to devoted partner
But this male barn owl soon matured and proved he can provide for his family. He is such a sweet character and takes his job very seriously.
First time dad
This first time dad's excitement when he met his chicks was adorable to watch. Watch him checks the egg after it is laid with his beak, - it's as though he wonders if he should brood it himself. But Gylfie steps in and pushes him aside… incubating is best left to the expert.
Attentive dad
Finn goes on to become a really attentive parent. He rarely leaves Gylfie's side as she broods their eggs and works hard bringing in food around the clock and guarding the nest.
Barn owl chicks
The pair had three chicks in total, but sadly one did not survive. Thankfully the two remaining chicks, named Nutmeg & Thyme by their fans, grow up to be strong and healthy.
Nutmeg becomes carer
And by one month old, barn owls the eldest, Nutmeg, is already showing signs she has inherited Finn's incredible nature. After they are old enough to be left alone by the parent birds my cameras reveal something unusual - Nutmeg, older by three days, takes on the role of feeding her younger brother.
Helping to feed & groom Thyme
As the barn owl chicks grow and develop, the bond between the siblings grows stronger and my cameras capture endearing footage of Nutmeg grooming Thyme and trying to encourage him to join her as she discovers the entrance to the nest and sees the world outside.
And Thyme turns protector
Then one day when a pigeon ventures into the nest, their roles are reversed and the younger owlet, Thyme, spreads his wings out wide and screeches to protect his sister Nutmeg.
Barn owls first flights
This extraordinary bond continues as the eldest Nutmeg learns to fly and then hops about the entrance to the nest trying to encourage her brother to join her.
I hope you have enjoyed watching the story of this adorable barn owl family.

I have never seen a bird prioritize the weakest young to be fed first. Good job barn owls.
I watched a barn owl cam a few years ago and they started eating off their babies 💀💀💀
@@wompppwompwomppp For real I used to go over my uncles friends house and we used to watch barn owls from a camera and they ate 2 of the kids. Traumatized q-q
Gylfie and Fin are the best owl parents I've ever seen :)
Then u haven’t observed much nature. I mean that in the nicest way
@@corineskipper1919 it is a bit rare as many wild animals prioritize the already strong because they are already more likely to survive
I couldn't believe when I saw Nutmeg give her little brother a mouse rather than eating it herself. What an incredible behavior to witness! I bet she'll be an amazing mother to her own clutch of owlets in the future!
joy that brings'
𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮
animals are smart and animals can really care for each other 💚
I’m so glad they’re keeping the rodent population down!
@@damien678 yeah like us , were just a common semi hair less primate
Finn is a precious boy. Not only providing copious amounts of food and spending time with his family but also just checking up on the neighbors eggs instead of destroying them
Gylfies was with Barney first he was brilliant but Finn is too 😄
@@RobertEFuller that confused me, I thought they mate for life
@@alexiaharpham4985 They do. They're together until one dies, and the survivor may or may not accept a new mate after being widowed.
Finn has a more gentle attitude about him, and his brood inherited that personality which is adorable
Willow is jealous that Finn is better dad than Ghost
I don’t care what the correct “scientific term” is, it’s obvious to me that these 2 love each other
Cheers 😁
I cant see this love can you prove or show it to me so i know its real?
In the same manner someone would ask to prove to you GOD is real???
@@WheresWaldo05 god is dead and we have killed him
KingLibra: do you love your parents, children, significant other, assuming you have or have had any of these? Can you show me this love? No, of course you can’t. Love is not something you can physically hold in your hands or take a photo of and declare “here it is”. When we humans jump in front of a speeding bus to save a loved one from certain death, it is called love. But if a mother owl sacrifices herself to save her children it is called “instinct for preservation of future generations. I would argue that both of these attributes apply to both the afore mentioned human mother and owl mother. Human beings like to tell themselves that animals don’t have emotions like they do or intelligence like they do so that when said human beings eat animals they don’t feel bad. 🤔🤷♀️
Cheers
Im attempting to make an argument against people who say GOD isnt real. So i use the issue of love as a rebuttle and counter argument cause you cannot prove it or see it. If im a cold hearted s.o.b. then love isnt real to me the same way someone doesnt believe in GOD. I havw no interest in engaging about owls or animals. I have a degree in natural resources forestry and wildlife/wildlife ecology so i already know everything there is to know about nature.
KingLibra: Ah, I see you have seen the movie Contact. I agree that we live in a created environment and therefore must have had a creator. However; your idea that you know everything there is to know about a topic because you possess a degree in said topic, I find to be a silly notion as it is quite literally impossible 🤷♀️
Cheers
never forget how Finn dropped the complete mouse on his kids and wondered why they dont eat^^----Gylfie is the most tender and caring mum i can imagine
Poor Finn the males are the provider of food just but totally lack the ability to feed small chicks
That was so funny and cute 😍
@@RobertEFuller yes but it it what make us laugh and keep them in our hearts forever
@amigoC’est La vie
@@RobertEFuller very similar to humans I see
Although bittersweet, I truly enjoyed watching Finn stepping up to being a great father, Gilfie as an extraordinary mother and the chicks grow to fledging.
There is always a few ups and downs with wildlife we have to keep our minds on the success but remember those sad and disappointing times too
👌😍Sahjad
I loved this one. Too bad about Thyme, but lovely to see how caring and nurturing their parents are. Cant get enough of these films!
These are the most beautiful owls.
Actually a piece of art.
Piece of art made by our Creator!🦉🦉💞💞💞
@amigo I know right???
We have them nesting in a hollow palm tree. I didn’t know that such pretty owls could make such a ungodly screech!
@@florencemcgee7151 nope, evolution. Learn something for once will you?
@@florencemcgee7151 Have you heard of Charles Darwin?? There really isn't a 'Man in the Sky'! Do you believe in Father Christmas as well?? 😂
4:15
Look at Finn smile!; that’s an award winning smile
It’s so funny when we as humans can see what the owls are thinking 🤔 and Fin reactions were so funny
@@RobertEFuller maybe birds aren’t as different as mammals; maybe they can express feelings better then we realize
@@Epic11705 Oh, they're very different from mammals in a lot of ways, but in terms of emotions? Birds definitely have them, and express them. They don't have the same muscles we do, but you can see them smiling in their eyes, and their body language. They're too cute. ❤️
So adorable and heartwarming! 😭
@@wareforcoin5780 I swear I can sometimes see on the edge of my budgie's beak a little part of curved feathers going up.
When Finn took his first look at the egg, he must've thought: "Did I do *THAT?!"* 😁
Robert, here's wishing you, your family, your animal friends and supporters a happy and healthy year ahead! Happy New Year! 🥳🥰💕
Thank you to all we couldn’t produce all these videos with out our amazing audience of subscribers viewers supporters and to the brilliant wildlife that lets us all have a glimpse into there secret world’s 😃
@@RobertEFuller You're welcome. But all of the thanks belong to *you!* You've attracted so many supporters and admirers due to *your* artistic talents that bring us up-close-and-personal access into the oft-hidden world of our animal companions. You're a genius! Best wishes... 👏👏👍👍☺💕💕
Great storytelling
@@hub8075 Yes! Robert is brilliant! 😊💕
Birds can be such loving animals…I observed a male cardinal feeding a female cardinal seed at our feeder two years ago. I think the same couple came back the next year too. The male cardinal was so devoted and loving to his lady - he followed her everywhere and kept watch over her while she ate.
I had no idea! Maybe that’s where the term “lovebirds” comes from 😍
@@dewilew2137 I believe you're correct. I have a couple of cardinals frequent my back patio and they took turns feeding their new baby on the patio after he had fledged. It was such a pleasure to watch❤️😘‼️
its interesting to me how male birds are so invested in actually being a family. unlike most male animals, hell, even including humans!
Rest in owl heaven, dear Finn. We will remember you, thanks to the Fuller team.
Did Finn die? 😢
So Gylfie’s got to be at least 6 years old, she’s very patient with her baby beau. His mating technique still needs some work lol, she was sleeping there hon. Finn and Gylfie are very charismatic, and Finn is very expressive. I can practically hear him going ‘oh wow! Can I look? Can I see?’ When investigating the eggs. I hope they stick together next year!
It’s looking good for 2022 they look to be set on the same nest sight
@@RobertEFuller Hooray! I wish them both a long and happy life together. ❤️🥰
I found him jumping on her while she slept very funny. She is indeed very patient lol I would have slapped him with a wing if I was her 😂
@@RobertEFuller 😊
Rip thyme aww he was so cute like his sister nutmeg remember he tried to defend his sister when a bird came into the nest aww he so sweet and caring 🙁😢
I almost cried 😭
He would have been a good father like his Dad 😢
Is it confirmed that he died?
No but it is most likely sadly
I'm so sorry for the sad news about Finn. Thank you Robert and all the great animals who live in your garden for your contribution to making the world a better place 💚🦉
What happened to Finn??
He was found dead in a livestock water trough. He most likely fell in and drowned. The water was too high for him to get out and the water would have soaked his feathers, until he would have been tired and drowned. So sad 😭
He’s was such a great dad, and it was so sweet for him that one time he went to Willow and Ghost’s nest when they had their first clutch. He came in when Willow was out and checked the eggs with his beak, like checking on the neighbors kids lol
He will be missed 😢💙
O-
I love when you picked the chicks up and they were just like "wtf"
I can practically hear them talk to each other, they have such vibrant personalities.
I know wild chat is brilliant have you seen our kestrels and tawnys owls videos
I’m crying at the end! I was really rooting for Thyme! 😭
Same 😭
Same 💔
We don't know for sure what happened to Time. Maybe his tag will show up !
R.I.P. Finn, will miss you so very much.
Never though I'd get emotional about thyme finally flied out and got electrocuted poor guy.
I know so sad 😞
Tbh I had a bad feeling about it he just wasn’t ready 😭
Me too. He still looked so little when he went to fly off. I think he just wanted to do what his sister was doing and didn't want to be left all alone.
An owl named "Gylfie." Huh. Someone's read an excellent book series.
a tyto, no less!
RIGHT!
I'm surprised he didnt name one of them Soren, Twilight, or Digger
Heheheha hope he didnt name one of em kludd
yes! I picked up on it too ❤
OMG !!!... I am mesmerised at how beautiful barn owls are, their plumage looks like gold with speckles of silver, simply beautiful. UK
Yes there feathers are totally amazing
Yes, very beautiful!
Nutmeg and Thyme seem to have a special bond. They’re so protective and close to each other. 🥺
The chicks mimicking each other is just the cutest thing ever.
I feel bad for thyme and the youngest chick that died 😭 they're so 😍
I know let’s hope for a better this year
@@RobertEFuller yeah I was very sad, but looks like there we’ll be some luck this year!
Especially after Thyme had protected his big sis like that 💔
How wonderful it was to relive these moments with Gylfie and her new mate Finn. I think so many of us fell in love with Finn for just how sweet he is and his devotion to Gylfie and the chicks and Gylfie for her patience with Finn as he was learning the ropes and for her absolute devotion to her chicks.Finn gave us so many funny moments also😁 Thank you for this wonderful mini movie! Can't wait to see what happens in this new year. I also would like to Thank all of the Moderators and viewers for the Time Stamps they post on the live feed! I would miss so many moments if they didn't do that lol!Thank you!!!
Brilliant 🤗 you said it so well 😃 what a pleasure it was for all of us to watch this special family of owls and to be part of a wonderful community
I love the Barn owl Dad .. if alot more human fathers could watch this and see how to support their family... the little brother was so brave in protecting his sister... love your voice...
Except for that not wanting to hand over the mouse part.
modern society rejects roles like this
Not if you were the wife 🤮
@@Astronurd what's wrong with her?
Thyme defending Nutmeg had my eyes sweating! What an amazing job the Owls did, and you, Robert, with the helping hand, and footage!!
Barn owl chick…a face only a mother can love.
It’s amazing to me how ugly baby birds can be, pigeons look like a horror story. And yet there are birds like ducks that are cute right out of the egg.
But they grow to be truly magnificent creatures
REST UP FINN. YOU WAS A REAL ONE🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯
I sincerely hope Thyme is okay, it was so crushing to think he could have been eaten. I leapt with joy when him & Nutmeg took their first flights; it was such a beautiful sight. May Nutmeg, Gylfie, and Finn all prosper, and Thyme too...I would be ecstatic to hear he's still alive! And if so, may he be a proud papa like Finn was 🙏🙏🙏💖
I have very sad news I am afraid. Thyme did not make it - we are not sure exactly what happened.
rob said electrocuted by powerline transformer 5 days ago
IM SO PROUD OF FINN! Such a good dad. 😍😭
Edit: RIP THYME. 😭😭😭😭
Finn was a good dad. We shall miss him.
What happened??
Robert these are really special films. You've turned my sporty math kids into naturalists and we have plans to visit some great bird sights near our little area of the woods here in Canada in the spring. My kids biology marks have gone from B- to A's as they now have a total interest in natural world. Thank you for all the work you do.
Math is awesome. Not to mention useful for a lot of jobs out there
Nutmeg being willing to feed her younger sibling indicates to me that she's going to be a great mother when it's time for her to have her first clutch of eggs, and that Finn is absolutely doing a top-notch job of providing to the point that there's a surplus of food around hungry growing chicks! 👍
I've never seen anything like this. I want to thank you for sharing, and talking us through exactly what we are seeing. Nature is amazing. The way the male participates is endearing. I thank you so much for putting this together youve done an astounding job and enlightened me. It's truly appreciated.
Thanks so much for your kind comments there is plenty more to come 😃
20 food deliveries? I'm amazed how many that is, I thought they fed them once a day or something.
So sad about Thyme. Thank you for the video.
How cute is that sleeping on one leg together business? And, I watched this whole thing with my mouth agape. They are so sweet and parental and lovey.
Birds standing on one leg means they feel comfortable! Us humans slouch or lean on one leg when we're comfy, but birds are so light they can put their weight on obe leg easily. Seeing happy and peaceful birds is a wonderful sight.
@@pinkcupcake4717 It truly is a wonderful sight! ❤
Watching Gilfie hesitate to step as to not step on her chicks is the cutest thing, and I can't get over the way you just snatch the babies 😂
I’m so sad about Thyme, he could have been so happy and only wished to be with his sister. So sad to never see him again…
It’s sad alright ☹️ but they don’t all make it unfortunately, Just wish we new what happened to him
Yes it’s such a shame ☹️ we kept hoping he would reappear
@@RobertEFuller Really sad indeed - but those feathers you found and the fox appearing unreveal a very reasonable and horrific scenario for such a inexperienced owl, right?
@@robinsonkrusoe164 I’d say so, imagine you are just on your own for the first time trying to find your sister, and looking for food the first time and something the largest you’ve ever seen comes up and attacks you, you weren’t prepared and flail your wings cause that all you know to do but it’s already too late, just like that your gone.
Gylfie putting up with a really young mate is adorable. She's like "no, you give me the food, not eat it yourself" and then I can almost hear her letting out a annoyed sigh at his attempts to mate.
"I raised two chicks and one husband."
This channel has really helped with my anxiety thank you so much.
I cried. The story of the barn owls resembles my family's too much.
My mother is slightly older than my father and seems a bit more experienced. I'm also my brother's older sister by 2 years and a half. I always thought that my brother was attacked to coddled, but in later years I became his confidant. Then, unfortunately, he started taking drugs in a critical point in his life when he needed to become independent, but ended up becoming incapable of doing the simplest of things. It came to a point when I had to internalize that my little brother may die from one day to the next, with no warning. He's barely 22.
When Thyme disappears, just after taking his first flight into the outside, my heart sunk. But although I feel pity for him, I will cheer on for Nutmeg, who from early on showed strength and courage and is still doing her best.
I’m from Australia and I have to say I absolutely love your animal videos, it’s hard to find many people that take joy just out of helping wildlife find homes or love, forever appreciate you ❤️❤️
Thanks it’s great to be able to make a difference to wildlife and it’s something I have always done, I was very lucky to be brought up on a farm with lots of space and wildlife
Sir, This is probably among the best things I've seen on you tube. Thank you for sharing your passion with the lot of us. Very educational and fun to watch. Many thanks
Thanks so much for your kind words 😁
Your owls share their food with each other because you are a good mommy to them 🦉
Loving this connected universe, thats much better than Marvel nowadays
Rest easy, sweet Finn💕🌌💕
When I was 7, 61yrs ago, growing up in Hancock, NH I had the wonderful experience if visiting a dairy farm owned by an amazing woman Mary. Not only did she teach me so much about nature imparting a lifelong love, her farm welcomed wildlife including Barn Owls. Every visit I would quietly and carefully slip into the barn to see them roosting. Later came the owlets. I have never seen any since that time even though I have had a barn for 20 yrs😞. Thank you Mary for your kind and loving attention. It meant everything to me.
Hope you get to see a barn owl soon
The way Thyme defended Nutmeg has my heart.
I know so brave 😁
@@RobertEFuller Truly. ❤️🤧😊 Actually felt a bit emotional after that one! Great videos! Thanks so much for them
Owls create such beauty protect them forever.
They're so majestic & fascinating! The ending was heart-breaking. I realize it could've been much worsens, as nature is often so damn cruel. They raised one hell of a daughter, though!
Thyme was sadly electrocuted on the transformer on the electric poles I was away and only found out after we made the video the fox had him once he was already dead
@@RobertEFuller When things like this happen, is this a very painful and difficult part of your job? Or do you not let yourself get that attached to them, knowing some of them won't make it?
@@RobertEFuller 😞😞😞
The most fabulous 30 minutes I’ve had in a very long time. Thank you for telling the beautiful story of Nutmeg and Thyme.
Thanks 😊
THERE WING'S ARE BEAUTIFUL. 👑🤍🕊️💞
They are so adorable especially dad when he was curious about the eggs 🥺❤️
Doctor: you have 30 minutes to live
Me:
Charming family. Finn is the most responsible father. :)
I have barn owls nesting in my barn and they have been there for a few years at least. For the last three years we have seen the babies in the barn before they fully fledge and leave. It is absolutely wonderful. All year round we can see these owls and sometimes they sit on the rafters in the barn before taking off for a flight. The last few nights when I have been out cleaning and refilling my hedgehog feeders, I have seen an owl fly around the front garden and swoop about 3ft above my head. They are used to us being around. They certainly are noisy birds.
Thats great to hear.
These owls have the cutest faces I really like them thanks Robert
So will miss Finn. 😭 to hear of his passing. Had to watch this again.
It is a wonderful species. I dare to comment, without hesitation at all, that it has one of the most beautiful plumage of the world fauna.
It is a fantastic video. Congratulations, I really liked it.
Thanks they really at beautiful birds
Look at that massive grin at 4:15 the pride in that smile
It took me a while but I finally figured out that the closed captioning termed "toenail" owl is actually a "tawny" owl, whoot! You British aren't always easy to figure out. 🍁
It 100% sounds like toenail!
I thought it sounded like "Town Owl", though I knew that couldn't be right. Yorkshire accents are strong.
Lol, yes once the captions said tornado instead of tawny owl. “The tornado guards her nest”
This really isn't even a strong accent 😂
@@warrens7360 True. However, imagine how much more difficult it would be to understand him if he did have s thicker accent?😄
So wonderful to see these beautiful barn owls. Enjoyed seeing them raise their young.
Thanks 😊 they are already courting and nest scraping ready for this year’s breeding season
I always love to see owls but knew very little about them Thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful family I loved the way you took time to explain everything
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video and it was a bit educational too 😃
I feel so sad for thyme. You can tell he was just so little and shy and docile like his dad. So sad to think he was killed on his very first flight from the nest. Poor sweet baby.
Every owl I’ve seen you ring their so docile and never try getting away or taking a chunk out of your hand
Apparently holding them by the talons and supporting their bodies helps really well at minimizing stress and discomfort. I also kinda think being out in the open for the first time is a good distraction hahaha
What a beautiful video! Where else can you see such an intimate story from beginning to end. Finn has really proved himself as a new time Dad, it was really wonderful to see ❤️
Thanks for watching and so glad you enjoyed the film
It’s looking good for them this year already nests scraping
I love watching the family grow and how sweet and dedicated they are to each other!!! Thank you Robert and crew for all your dedication , I Sssooooo Appreciate!!💕
Thanks 😊 means a lot to us to get so many people enjoying what we do here
How has National Geographic not reached out to this guy yet?!?
Owls are such amazing animals.
We have an owl around our house who has been great at getting the mice who were after our chickens’ food. It’s amazing to see how many they get.
4:14 HE LOOKS SO PROUD AND HAPPY OML-
He was a brave little owl, millions shall miss him! May owl chick #2 rest in peace..
The look on Nutmeg's face as she saw the outside world for the first time.
OMG! How endearing! They are so beautiful. They live a precarious life but survive. Owls are my favorite birds.
Several years ago I was lucky enough to meet a tame European Eagle owl she was absolutely gorgeous and let me kiss her on her beak and it is something that I will never ever ever ever forget - she was beyond belief and the kiss that we shared will live with me forever.
Watching the life of a bird is really fascinating it feels like it's telling a story if that makes sense
They’re so delicate with their younglings, they’re feeding the smaller one first, and they’re trying to stay together no matter what, it really goes to show you how evolved their brains are.
Thanks for the wonderful video of Finn and my darling Gylfie. So many moments have been forgotten in this sad year. I wish you REF, your family, the team and everyone watching here, a happy new year and Gylfie and Finn better luck in the next breeding season.
Dagmar, frohes neues Jahr meine Freundin...
@@terratitanic2490 Danke, das wünsche ich dir auch, liebe Freundin
Thank you for you wishes, Dagmar! Wishing you a wonderful year ahead! 😊
@@Master_Petes_Theater Thank you so much :-)
@@dagmarkunzel5406 You're most welcome! ☺
Nutmeg is such a good sister, helping to give food to her little brother Thyme 🥰
What a wonderfully sweet relationship between siblings nutmeg and thyme. And Finn is the gentle caring husband and father every good woman and child deserves.
Awww! This is such a wonderful family barn owl video. It was so bittersweet at the end but life goes on.
Yes it’s a shame they all don’t make it
Happy new year, all you birds and bird lovers.
Sad for Thyme. Wish him a good life in owl heaven.
Shame we don’t know what happened to him for sure
You sir, are an amazing asset to world wildlife preservation.
We need more humans like this owl family; Loyalty, courage, responsebility, commitment, and love! RIP Thyme
Beautiful video of gorgeous Barn Owls. They're such beautiful birds. I was shocked watching Thyme eating a whole mouse when he was just a little piece of fuzz. Such an interesting and well filmed video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 😃
This is the sweetest video I’ve seen in a long time. The nature of these owls is lovely. I’m very saddened by the death of the tiny owl.
Seeing the owls care for each other as siblings is so heartwarming. 🥰
best owls ever
i love watch the prozess how the owlets look in begin and how beautiful they turn when they get adults!
and i adore watch Gylfie how tender she is when she covers them
Thank you
There's no one else like Robert E. Fuller to present bird movies. He's the greatest. I might watch every one of his videos.
The world is actually beautiful.
Fin and Gilfi make an amazing pair. The family looks so peaceful..quite a rare masterpiece.
I'm just crushed about Thyme...such a brave and determined little fellow. Thank you for this indescribably beautiful and engaging video/narrative.
We have found out he was most lightly electrocuted on the transformer on the electric pole near our house
@@RobertEFuller Oh my how sad. I know nothing about transformers but I hope that's something you can prevent a possible recurrence of in the future...
We love your channel and your efforts, I discovered your channel when my 2.5 years daughter asked to watch owls, and now your channel it her favorite.
