ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Tawny owl chicks
This tawny owl pair first adopted chicks after their own clutch of eggs failed. But just as these young owlets, named Dawn & Dusk, began to explore, I was handed another 3 rescue owl babies.
More foster owlets
Then I am handed 3 more rescue chicks picked up from roadside. Each is a different age. I decide to see if Luna & Bomber will adopt them, alongside Dawn & Dusk. This will give the owlets the best chance of surviving in the wild.
Mini, Midi & Maxi
The 3 rescue owlets, nicknamed Mini, Midi and Maxi for their varying sizes, had already fledged their own nests so I wasn't expecting them to stay inside my bespoke Beech Stump owl nest for long.
Luna's encouraging calls
It isn't long before Midi heads out to explore. To my delight Luna arrives and calls to this young rescue owlet, encouraging her to fly towards her.
Bomber brings dinner
I left food out for Bomber to find so that this owl dad had enough to feed this new family. So a few hours later Bomber arrives with some food for the young owlet.
Extra food
I also fed the remaining owlets. It's quite a lot to expect these parent tawny owls to suddenly support a total of 5 owlets.
Luna & Bomber stop feeding
But then two days pass and there is no sign of Bomber & Luna. I keep the owlets fed but they need the care of real owls if they are going to survive outside the nest. Under my careful watch they continue to grow, practising their pouncing skills inside the nest.
Calls are heeded
At last their calls are rewarded and Bomber finally feeds them. The following day Maxi finally leaves the nest. Watch as one of the other young owlets shows Maxi where to leap. It's so endearing watching the owlets interact with each other.
A new rescue
Before the final chick, Mini, fledges, a new rescue arrives from Doncaster. We call it Donny. It's a little bit thin but that's not a bad thing because it should call loudly which will encourage Bomber & Luna to respond.
Donny fledges
Donny doesn't stay long, leaving Mini all alone again. But then, after a visit from another owlet, Mini too makes the leap to the branch outside the nest.
Owl creche
It's amazing to see all six owlets together, preening one another, though they weren't from the same family.
Extra help
I keep putting food out for Bomber & Luna. Watch them take it and carry it straight to the owlets. It isn't long before the owlets begin to feed and explore the world for themselves. Watch what happens when one finds a barn owl!

i wonder when luna and bomber starting question why they have infinite child 😂
The magical owlet tree 😂
Bomber, “These kids never leave!” 😂
BEST COMMENT !!😊🤣💕👍👍
Unfortunately for Bomber and Luna - Robert's place is a re-spawn location for owlets :)
They are like "hmm. Deja vu." 🤔
I wonder if Bomber and Luna are ever wondering where all these babies keep coming from, or if they just sort of do the owl equivalent of going, "guess we had more kids than we thought. Oh, well, time to find more food"
Yes more Owlets 🦉🦉🦉🦉😆
Haha, good to see I was not the only one thinking along these lines!
They're probably thinking "man, we're GREAT parents! We keep making more babies without even trying!"
@@marsfeathers 😂😂😂
i mean, what else an owl to do??coach potato and youtube?...0_0
Luna's training of Robert is to be admired. "He's coming along nicely" she must think..
😂
Yes 🙌🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉😆
You are a remarkable man, Robert. Thank you for all you so for so ice wildlife .. really touches my heart to watch
🥳🥳
Ahh I remember following Mini's growth in the stream. I love that Bomber and Luna never questioned about how their first (adopted)chicks has tripled 😂
It's lovely to see all 6 chicks accepted each other.
Isn’t it amazing how it works the tawnys here once raised 9 Owlets
I remember how excited Luna was when she saw the first two chicks ❤
Yes wasn’t it amazing story The full story coming out as a box set at Christmas
I remember watching the Livestreams. We were all freaking out for nights on end, encouraging Mini to fledge. It was such a huge thing in the comments when she finally jumped out onto that branch!
Minnie the loaf - she is so beautiful :)
@@AcerJones21 My wife couldn't believe that Minnie could still loaf, even on a branch :)
Yes it was quite a story this year It was a pleasure to be part of there lives and be able to share it with so many people 🦉🦉
So wonderful to see Bomber and Luna unselfishly caring for the next generation. Magical to see what all of your hard work has produced. Listening to them all in the trees at night must be a real treat. Thank-you.
Yes 🙌 it was very special being part of there story this year
Bomber and Luna doing their part for the tawny owl population! Such a great pair. 🦉❤🦉
Yes they are very good foster parents
I absolutely loved how Luna trusted you to come close enough knowing you’ll give more food ❤
Yes its a great relationship with wild birds Bomber is even more interesting in following me around at night once they have chicks to feed
@@RobertEFuller Tawny owls seem especially sociable and almost friendly towards other birds and even people, based on this! Fascinating birds. Owls in general seem a lot more chill then most other birds of prey.
They would have to be parents of the year Bomber and Luna must wonder where all these babies come from they are so good hearted.
Yes 🙌 6 Owlets for tawnys is a lot but with a few hand outs from me they did it
One of the highlights of my year was watching the video of Luna greeting the first two adopted chicks. An amazing memorable moment, thank you Robert
Yes it was very special, People say animals don’t have complex emotions but I beg to differ moments like that was
really amazing
Totally agree!
For me, as well!!!
Aaah, all 6 sitting on the tree is so wonderful ❤
Yes that was a real special sight and shows it worked all 6 doing well 🦉
Lovely to see Luna and Bomber's Superbrood again after watching them all as the story unfolded. I had forgotten how cute they all were (especially
Mini, she's such a character). Also wonderful to see the bond you have with Luna, it must be very rewarding to have a wild owl trust you the way Luna does - I bet she was very grateful for all your help. Looking forward to seeing how next year's breeding season pans out.
Thanks so much glad you enjoyed the video and it brought back memories of a very special year with the tawnys
Peek a boo
Kestrel 😂
Bomber and luna are just like "they keep MULTIPLYING"
Yes 🙌🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉😆
Tribbles with wings! 😂
Luna & Bomber are bad at math, but great at being owls 😉
And absolute amazing story! I've never heard of a pair of birds fostering so many babies! Thank you for sharing this great story and all you do to help them out for helping you!!!! 😊 ❤️💖
The Tawny owls do so well raising the foster owlet on year they brought 9 owlets up
@@RobertEFuller OH MY GOSH!!! NINE?!? 😳😳 What an amazing owl! 👏 💖❤️💖
Mini and her fluffy pantaloons
So glad to see this! Bomber and Luna are amazing.
OMG Minnie Minnie Minnie the loaf!!!!!
Bomber and Luna have such enormous hearts :) - just like you Robert!
Thanks 😊 such an amazing story to be part of
I've decided baby owls are the cutest thing on Earth.
My favorite part is when Mini says AAARGH
Same😂
Your help is probably one of the reasons they so easily accept new owlettes.
Robert you are a gift to these animals. Thank you for everything you do
And thanks to you all for watching 🦉😁
I would absolutely pay to travel from the United States to Mr. Fuller's wildlife oasis to lend a helping hand if needed, just to witness his daily adventures with all the animals around him! I would absolutely pay him to be a part of that! Take my $$! Best vacation ever! The woods are my family's backyard, so I currently have a momma deer & her 3 babies follow me around our yard waiting to be fed! When I call out to her, she & her babies will come out from the woods for some treats lol. And I can still hear owls deep in our woods at night, but sadly they no longer visit the trees in our yard.
Still love the head bobing 😁🙏
I know it always looks so funny
Sir, you are a hero for all these animals! Thank you for helping all of them and giving them a chance to thrive, you're awesome! 🙌👍
Thanks I do want I can to help wildlife
Love it when the owl let visits Elm stump and scratches at the roof. Gilfie was not pleased with them.
I hope Bomber and Luna get to have their own babies in the spring time. They are fantastic parents to their adopted babies
Yes I think they won’t produce fertile eggs again unfortunately
@@RobertEFuller Oh no. That's sad. Why do you think that?
If I ever see 6 owlets at once I'll cry!
It’s great seeing all 6 together, there is always a few doubters with the work that I do, but you can’t get any better evidence that it works than all 6 chicks sat together
Adorable owls. You do great things Robert, keep going, I love seeing it
It’s a pleasure to do what I do and to share it with so many people 🦉🦉
The filming is just brilliant, a whole world we would never be able to see, available to people all over the world. Thank you for all your hard work.
Luna and Bomber are such good parents. I loved Mini she had such an attitude.
Yes 🙌 they are amazing
C'est très beau cette solidarité et cette gratitude, nous devrions prendre exemple. Merci pour ces incroyables images
Amazing parents working together tirelessly to feed and nurture these little owlets. I wonder if at the end of all the nurturing they think Phew! Time to ourselves now ,,,,
Luna @10:10 😍 What a beauty. It was so exciting watching the tawny owlets on the livestream. #Mini #Argh ❤
LETS GO ‼️The KNIGHTS OF DONNIE 🏵️🏵️AY-UP😉 &GO MINNIE 💞
Mr Fuller is doing Fantastic Work Saving so many Beautiful Creatures!! Just watched the entire Video. Oh my Gosh its Just Incredible what Mr Fuller and Bomber and Luna are doing!! Saving and Caring for orphaned Owlets! Its Unbelievable! Thanks Mr Fuller!!
Thanks it’s amazing how it works.
and with my cameras it proves how successful it is 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
I laughed out loud like a psycho when Rob whipped out another fu***** brown own in a box.
I'm dying laughing. It's all so hilarious but heartwarmingly wholesome ❤😂
This is like a therapy for me. Much needed peace and happiness by watching an owl family's flurry of activities with an occasional intervention from a human when needed. Of course, behind the camera Robert and the couples are working hard but at least that hard work is to nurture a part of our nature. 🙂❤
What a beautiful story with the chick's and the 2 "parents" taking care of them. Now they can grow up and have their own families!! Thank you Robert!💟
It’s my pleasure 😃
Unbelievable and so wonderful to watch. Thank you, Robert…and of course, Bomber and Luna☺️
You can not imagine how much comfort to my soul you bring with your video , we can learn so much about life watching these gorgeous birds how they go about there lives there struggle, there success, there tenancies its so beautiful to watch infant this could be a therapeutic remedy for human , every time life get tough I watch these videos I get inspired and they remind me again and again never lose hope and keep trying and trying ....God bless you Mr fuller and keep up the good work 👏
So glad to see someone helping wildlife. Gives me a lot of joy.
Yes it gives me a joy to know I’m helping a bit too 😃
Thank you so very much for this compilation of the story we watched so closely. It brings back those amazing moments.
Yes its great for us all here too
Remembering what a special year it’s been for the tawnys
I love stories with happy endings. Thank you so much, Robert, for caring for all of these beautiful animals and then sharing their journey with us. 😊❤️🦉🌕
Glad you like it 🦉It was quite a story look out for the full story coming soon
Sensational content.
Thanks 😊🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
Thank you Mr Fuller! It was lovely to follow them on the live cameras!
It was so nice being part of there lives and getting them all back into the wild 🦉🦉
6 fostered chicks. Amazing.
I just love mother nature, so adorable........❤
I absolutely love what your doing.......thank you
Fingers crossed that these beauties get to spread their amazing parenting genes next year
You're a masterpiece,Robert!
I love this brown-eyed owls so much.
Thank you,
T❣️💫
Glad you enjoyed it The Owls made the story I was just documenting there incredible year 🦉🦉
Thanks robert fuller
These chicks are incredible
I adore the elfin lodge you've created for the owls----makes me want to crawl in and rest....I'd love to be an owl even, if only I didn't have to eat mice....beautiful exhilarating videos. Thank you for your care and love of these magical creatures.
This goes to show, it's love that makes a family. You're a good man to care for them as you do, Robert. They are doing this well thanks to you.
I love beautiful birds, and spring is near, I can hardly wait to hear them sing, such beauty in that, love your channel,
Most amazing parents ever these two 🦉💕
It’s incredible to see what’s possible 6 Owlets raised and none were there’s,
but they looked after them as if they were
Beautiful work you always do Robert Fuller, I'm very impressed by your humanitarianism towards those beautiful birds including the hawks and falcons. We truly love and appreciate what you do and we enjoy it so much.
Oh thanks so much😃 to me this is just what I do, but so glad it’s appreciated and great to share
Wonderful video. Absolutely gorgeous owlets too. Also what super parents Bomber and Luna are. Thank you for the great memories. 🥰🦉💖
Thanks Yes it’s so nice seeing this amazing the story put into a video great memories for all of us including me 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉
You do know you are - in VERY good cause - delightfully and successfully manipulative
Tawny owls are by far my favourite animal thanks to you! I’m yet to find a nest but your channel makes up for that! Insane story and video 🦉
Glad you enjoyed it good luck finding a nest
You are such a lovely man.
😊 Thanks
Little Mini kept me company during a very difficult time in my life, it’s so lovely to see these owlets again ❤
Normally, babies of different bird species see each other as competition rather than siblings. They shake their heads and cheep as loud as they could to get the most food, even as they get older. But seeing all these chicks together outside the nest and some even preening each other tells me that they actually care and love each other (at least as they grow older together).
🙏👍Very Nice Information 🙏So Beautiful Owl 🙏👍
Had a pet owl as a child. She never really left after her release staying close by. Love my owls!💜🦉
Can't wait for the coming season!!! Sooo looking forward to it!
Thanks again Robert, the magic in Featherdale continues!
Yes 🙌 another big story look out for the full story coming soon
Bomber must be saying 'how did that happen Luna ? " lol
Yes eggs 🥚 to Owlets and even more and more Owlets 😁
Thank you so much for taking care of the birds
I had a momma cat nursing and my friends cat rejected its runt kitten so I brought the runt home in my shirt and my momma cat immediately took it as her own I swear many animals have better parenting instincts than some people
is it comon for tawny owls to adopt other owls chicks? its great that luna and bomber do so
Yes I have done it several times with different Tawny owls
0:14 was the cutest and funniest moment😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg gorgeous. Wow. Luna must really be twisting her head around a few times. Trying to figure this out. All these kids just keep on coming. Lol. 💞 I had to come back and laugh when the little owlette went crazy. Like what is this...
I know she had a few surprises this year but it all worked out well
@@RobertEFuller hi Robert yes she did. It's amazing watching her behaviors and daddy as well. But luna puts a kick in being amazing at parenting skills. Plus being adopting mom. 💞
so cute!
Luna is a awesome, super mom to all the adoptive baby owls!
Yes Bomber and Luna did so well
I guess I have a thing for owls cause I love the work you're doing with them. Such fascinating creatures that, by your care and knowledge, have allowed me to get a greater appreciation and love for them.
Hi 👋 glad you are enjoying my channel and getting an insight into the lives of the owls and other wildlife 👍
Thanks for the full edited story. Just wonderful! Yours is the best kind of rehab, a partnership between humans and animals
Thanks so much full box set coming at Christmas. The important thing with rehabilitation of wildlife is to safely get animals back into the wild as soon as possible, Keep them wild and don’t treat them as pets
Always a pleasure to watch the owls over and over again!!
Well done,Sir.
Gotta feel for Bomber and Luna. They must be thinking "AGAIN?? We haven't even mated again yet, why do we have more chicks?? (sigh) Time to catch some more damn mice for the newbottomless tummies."
Yes 🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉🦉but didn’t it work so well, to see all 6 Owlets in a tree was so rewarding
@@RobertEFuller it was. They make great owl parents.
I love these fluffy birds.
🦉me to 😄
This has been amazing to watch. So happy these owl chicks have a chance at living a good life.
What a HOOT! Good work for these wonderful creatures of God/Source, and Gaia! God Speed! From Canada!
Can’t wait for the next breeding season! Wish Luna and Bomber have their own chicks next year❤❤❤
Bomber and Luna have had infertile eggs for 2 years now so not sure 🤔 what’s going on Bomber is getting quite old now
It makes no difference to them if the fledglings are their own or not. But for the fledglings, it means the world. I'm quite glad they don't have biological chicks if it means a hone for those chicks.
I’m a bit late to your channel but your calming voice and the love and passion you have for these animals and most likely all animals in general is highly enjoyable and worthwhile to watch. In a world so consumed with the negative your channel is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for what you’re doing and bringing joy to others and of course these lovely birds.
Thank you and welcome to my channel. Loads more videos for you to watch and enjoy.
Good work on getting those kids adopted.
This was so touching ❤️ thank you,
you are really HOLLY MAN, GOD BLESS YOU
Wonderful Robert, it’s great to see those little Owlets thriving ❤
Yes 🙌 some people doubt that I’m doing but to see all 6 Owlets together in that tree shows it works 😁
Neat.
I wonder for their future
Thank you Mr Fuller
My pleasure 😊
Absolutely loved it Robert, you must feel so accomplished just by this ‘episode ‘ alone, thanks for a lovely presentation just amazing👍
Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it we are doing the full story box set at Christmas 🎄
so it's official now...bomber and luna are FOSTER PARENTS!!!!
I loved it. Thanks for the memories
Wow 👏👏👏 what a guy 😁 love your love for Owls.
Beautiful. To see such love and cooperation. Thank you 🙏❤️
A very lovely video Thank you
They are the cutiest chicks..❤
You are an amazing human for helping these beautiful baby owls ❤️
