Aww, they do look grumpy! There was a tawny owl on the webcam not long ago that looked like it was smiling all the time, though! It reminded me of a cat "smiling" with its eyes closed. It would tip its beak up and close its eyes and it looked happy - maybe it wasn't, I have no idea!
the rulers of this world could learn lots from these videos...like how to take care of the poor and broken hearted...if only all the people could be blessed as these animals are...great work you all do...
Couldn't help worrying for all the fragile looking objects in the house with the bat flying around. That must have make catching it doubly difficult. Job well done!
I've been saying to my mother about making our garden more wildlife friendly. We only have wooden fencing but we leave gaps at the bottom for the hedgehogs to go through. But I'd love to build a place for the hedgehogs to nest in... we've got a German shepherd called tom-tom but I know he wouldn't hurt any wildlife. He has seen the hedgehog that comes into our garden and a frog once and he jumped (well ...he done what we'd call a bunny hop backwards) from them both 😂 so funny bless him. He even done a head tilt as well 😁 so cute. I will be checking out the website for ideas ☺ ...everyone should do what ever they can no matter how small...every little helps and our wildlife is worth saving and protecting. All of you at wildlife aid are fantastic ☺ 👍 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for doing your bit to protect wildlife! I love that you think 'everyone should do what they can no matter how small'. That is exactly the attitude the world needs!
I was taking my stepdad's dog for a walk once when he found a hedgehog in the middle of the pavement. Night had just fallen. The hog obviously curled up and just sat there like a large spiky ball. I hadn't even noticed it because it was dark, it was when the dog stopped that I saw it Seamus had no aggressive intent whatsoever - just sniffed it from every angle, quietly wuffed a bit and then sat staring at it. I hid round the corner with the dog and watched it. Half an hour later, hog hadn't moved an inch and I was getting a bit worried about the road, so enlisted a nighbour to grab his gardening gloves and move the hog into his garden, where the contrary little beast immediately uncurled and scuttled off. Not such a little beast actually, it was HUGE.
As much as I love your videos, it makes me so sad that the animals are losing places to live by minutes worldwide. What would the world look like without these beautiful sentient beings.
I love barn Owls, they are so beautyful. Its remarkable they are named barn owl in english because in dutch they are named “kerkuil” wich translates to church owl.

I love pausing the videos and reading the little signs on enclosures and cages and the like, they are always so interesting or funny. Like the: "Escape artist, extra care please!" one on the cage next to the owl 😂
I have always loved owls ! I learnt to make the calls of several species as a child ! My favourite is the barn owl ! What a handsome creature ! As to bats, seen them flying often. Quite exciting! Rescued a badger from a grain bin once ! Feisty beasts with a nasty bite ! Best avoided as they can have rabies ! A fox used to sunbath on our back garden table. If we came out , it would merely raise its head to check us out, then carry on sunbathing ! They are often half tame in suburban locations ! It’s great to see any wild creature close up. Makes the heart race ! The closest I got to a scary encounter was in Yellowstone, two bears, crossed our path , no more than four foot in front of us ! That incredible mix of fear and thrill I still remember from more than thirty years ago ! No planned encounter has ever worked out for me, all the spectacular ones have been surprises, out of the blue ! One of the memorable ones was a big snake sunbathing near a lake, about six feet away. That made may heart stop ! But the rarest was a wildcat in Scotland ! I was on a bike, which is fairly quiet, it crossed my path about six foot in front ! I was only sixteen . So that’s almost sixty years ago ! I have seen stoat and weasel,eagle and a spider as big as my fist, , in the desert in the USA ! A whole pack of coyote almost bowled me over as I exited a telephone box sized camp toilet ! Like the speeded up action of a camera , whoosh, no time to register or think, let alone escape ! But I was not their prey, something else unseen by me , must have been their target ! I was keen to hear wolves howling. That is on my bucket list ! , instead I got as close as three foot at lightning speed , to a coyote pack whoosh past ! A shiver down the spine thrill ! I also once saw a magnificent full antlered stag, silhouetted against the sky ,no more than eight foot diagonally above my path on an outcrop of rock ! No artist could have chosen a more spectacular perfect pose and location! That was in Switzerland ! My advice ? Do not try to find your favoured target creature ! Just go to wild places, walk for the sheer pleasure of it ! It will happen probably when least expect it ! So much more special than an organised ‘stake out’ ! I rarely take a camera , too distracting ! Besides I am convinced that really special encounters are meant to be for the eyes and the soul ! Not for ‘the record’. As the North American Indian say , animals come to you if you pass with respect, your soul will call out each that is in your vicinity that you are meant to meet ! If you discover your ‘spirit animal’ you will know it, it may look you in the eye , fixated ! You must never disclose that creature to another person, as you are then at extreme spiritual risk ! There are rituals that call forth a persons spirit animal ! Walks in the wild , especially alone, are a meditation ! And when the soul is in that place special encounters are far more likely ! A tip, walking boots are too clumsy , if you want have such encounters, wear moccasins! The upper and sole all from one animal skin, with pure merino wool Socks preferably ! As You should be able the feel the ground ! Artificial materials impede the flow of living energy, which you need if animals are not to flee from your vicinity ! ‘Getting some place’ spiritually is a whole different experience than getting somewhere physically ! Though I think that it is not unusual to intend one and be unexpectedly experience a lot more ! ......
At what age do owls start to be afraid of people, because these youngsters are perfectly calm and cooperating? They don't try to run away, or hide or attack, just sit there and allow people to care for them :)
and highly misunderstood animals, however you cannot touch them without a license, unfortunately doing this will have them put down, so unless you have the necessary vaccinations and license or unless it's in a zoo or some place where there's people to supervise you, please don't touch bats!
When owls begin to fledge, they can end up quite a ways from each other and the best, but the parents will still find them by their calls and feed them.
Brings back memories of rescuing pips 😂 I used to volunteer for Durham bat group and my old home had a maternity roost of over 550 common and soprano pipistrelles.
Simon accidentally creating a brief ASMR video from 1:21 to 37 😋 ᴴᵉʰᵉ Lots of cool animals and wonderful rescue-releases! I do believe the owl will be fine. It was too young to fly, but it just wanted to give perching a go, having a look around. Adorable little pipistrelle. I love how they look when flying! Believe it or not, but I can actually hear their calls quite easily. Especially around autumn when they come out for a meal at night, when I walk the dogs.
Ah, sounds like you were using an ultra-sonic detector to find the bat, clever that! Lovely batch of rescues! Mostly cats/kittens, chickens/quail/other birds, and the occasional dog that I or my dad end up rescuing in my neighborhood here in Washington state. Though there was one time somebody released almost a dozen crabs in the alley, poor things didn't last long, but the crows enjoyed a feast.
Wildlife Aid can you maybe let the public add captions? Then people from all over the world can add captions in there language and then more people can watch even tho they don’t understand English
I have been waiting for another episode since the last one. I love your videos, Simon and your team, you are the very best. Thank you for all you do for the animals.
My favorite owl species would be the tawny!!!! So cute!!!! Is that little bat a flying fox???? Looks like a flying furball!!!! Lol!!!! Happy the fox was rescued too!!!! Trifecta of wildlife rescues!!!!!
Was really looking forward to another SOS episode :) Thanks so much for your great work and saving all these poor (and incredibly cute!) animals! I'm amazed you actually caught the bat! I keep replaying the close-up shots of it, it's so adorable and fascinating!
Tawny owls do "branch" well before they can fly, and while they do have a risk of falling in that stage I'm told they're usually able to climb back, and it's quite normal for them to be out of the nest when close to fledging
my mom and I had a bat get stuck in our kitchen, when she called me over saying something was flying around in the kitchen I thought it was a moth since shes afraid of them and it was dark, when I turned on the light he landed on top of our cupboards then climbed behind the curtain above the sink. I caught it with a really large fishnet, (we had one handy for catching our budgies) and a paper plate before letting it go outside. We kept wondering how it got in and figured someone left a door open, so its interesting to hear then can fit through places as small as half an inch.
I'm a little jealous that in Maryland . . . I don't see Tawny Owls Though the bat was a tricky one . . . . glad it's a rescue/release (same with the fox cub)
I absolutely love these videos, thank you for all that you do, especially during these times! A trick for releasing force-fledged raptors back into nests: When your'e up the ladder (or rope, whatever you're using) and you place the bird back into the nest, hold it down with one hand flat to keep it down. Preferably so it can't easily see over the edge of the nest. Then lower yourself down so your body (especially your face) is below the level of the nest, but your hand is still hovering over or touching the bird slightly to keep it down. Then slowly pull your hand back. A pair of forward-facing eyes is more likely to set off a predator since they understand what that attention means, but a hand is probably just sort of weird for them. You're so right; you don't always know what to do. They don't make handbooks for every possible situation when it comes to wildlife, but all we can do is try our best, and you guys are amazing. Thank you again.
I like owls. I'll make a nest box for the Scops Owls that live near my house. Edit: in Italy there are nine native species of owl: Barn owl Tawny owl Eagle owl Scops owl Northern long eared owl I don't know the English names of these so I'll put their scientific names: Asio flammeus Aegolius funereus Glaucidium passerinum
I once had a bat trapped under some plastic in my barn. Donning some thick leather gloves(a few years ago a girl in Idaho got rabies from a bat and barely survived so I took no chances) I carefully got it out, put it in a small glass jar (with holes in the lid) and just wanted to do a quick google search in what it was. Plus safely make sure it was not injured with minimum physical contact. Seeing it was a common (but protected) common brown that fed on insects I caught a few live flies and fed it thru the lid with tweezers. It ate the flies like they were CANDY! Seeing it was healthy, willing to eat, and not injured I let it go immediately outside near a good roost area. Unlike other girls, I like creepy crawlies like snakes, spiders, odd bugs, and bats!
I've a question about hatchlings of owls- I just found a pair of Great Horned Owls nesting in a tree beside a busy road in a Shopping center parking lot. I'm not particularly worried about any owlettes falling from the nest right now, as it's the beginning of the breeding season, but later on down the road could be troublesome for the fledgelings, since the nest is, again, in a shopping center parking lot and by a heavily used road. Do you recommend that I let a Wildlife center know about the nesting pair?
I love watching these rescues because I love animals. I do have a question though, seems like everyone blames humans for being on this God given planet for everything wrong in this world. What do you propose people do to help the animals habitats?
We had a bat stuck in our 3 story house and he was first seen in a large room which we presumed it was a black bird. 2 days later we saw it sleeping at the top of the stairs it saw us and and it was flying all around he eventually got his self stuck on a chair so we had to open the window and let the bat out along with the chair he was stuck.
I had an encounter with a small bat in our house. Couldn't find anybody who would come and get it for me. So armed with a towel and praying a lot. I got the little bad out of the house all by myself. I managed not to hurt the bat. Hope I don't ever have to do that again. I think I was more afraid of him than he was of me 😁
I thought that the word crikey came from Australia but I guess I am wrong.To any person who lives in the uk would you please tell me if I am right our wrong and if I am wrong I apologise I mean no disrespect!!!I am a american and I honestly don't know.

Owls are rarely anything but grumpy!

That little owl was like: "No, I wanna go out and explore! You're ruining my fun, human! How dare you?!"

Aww that grumpy looking owl the lady brought in! Poor fellow. 😃❤️
Young owls have a habbit for always looking slightly annoyed!
One of the many reasons to love them. 😊
Little owls especially. They always look as if they are silently plotting your doom... :)
Or have a terrible hangover. 😃
I loved the bat ladies' home decoration, including the library. Of course, I also enjoyed the rescues. Hold fast.
Thanks a lot :)

Another idea is to plant native plants that are good for local wildlife - like bushes with berries to eat or shrubs that provide cover & shelter. :-)

A pair of forward-facing eyes is more likely to set off a predator since they understand what that attention means, but a hand is probably just sort of weird for them.
You're so right; you don't always know what to do. They don't make handbooks for every possible situation when it comes to wildlife, but all we can do is try our best, and you guys are amazing. Thank you again.
I Love Bat 🦇
I Love your videos they make me Happy often

Rescue and release, yay!!! Thank you

I like owls. I'll make a nest box for the Scops Owls that live near my house.
Edit: in Italy there are nine native species of owl:
Barn owl
Tawny owl
Eagle owl
Scops owl
Northern long eared owl
I don't know the English names of these so I'll put their scientific names:
Asio flammeus
Aegolius funereus
Glaucidium passerinum
That's great! Thank you for helping wildlife!
In english, the last three are the short-eared owl, the boreal owl and the Eurasian pygmy owl :)

Wildlife Aid I did I watch y'all every time y'all upload after I made up my mind that I'm going to be a Wildlife Rescuer.
I once had a bat trapped under some plastic in my barn.
Donning some thick leather gloves(a few years ago a girl in Idaho got rabies from a bat and barely survived so I took no chances) I carefully got it out, put it in a small glass jar (with holes in the lid) and just wanted to do a quick google search in what it was.
Plus safely make sure it was not injured with minimum physical contact.
Seeing it was a common (but protected) common brown that fed on insects I caught a few live flies and fed it thru the lid with tweezers.
It ate the flies like they were CANDY!
Seeing it was healthy, willing to eat, and not injured I let it go immediately outside near a good roost area.
Unlike other girls, I like creepy crawlies like snakes, spiders, odd bugs, and bats!
I think you'd be surprised how many girls like those things. The majority of people I know do.
I've a question about hatchlings of owls- I just found a pair of Great Horned Owls nesting in a tree beside a busy road in a Shopping center parking lot. I'm not particularly worried about any owlettes falling from the nest right now, as it's the beginning of the breeding season, but later on down the road could be troublesome for the fledgelings, since the nest is, again, in a shopping center parking lot and by a heavily used road. Do you recommend that I let a Wildlife center know about the nesting pair?
I love watching these rescues because I love animals. I do have a question though, seems like everyone blames humans for being on this God given planet for everything wrong in this world. What do you propose people do to help the animals habitats?

Good job😊
Many thanks!
We had a bat stuck in our 3 story house and he was first seen in a large room which we presumed it was a black bird. 2 days later we saw it sleeping at the top of the stairs it saw us and and it was flying all around he eventually got his self stuck on a chair so we had to open the window and let the bat out along with the chair he was stuck.
New episode for my birthday 🎁😊
Happy birthday! :)
Please show barn owl rescues!
I had a bay in my house I just opened the front door all the way and chased it out! Lol
Where are the rest of the episodes?
❤❤❤
2 questions, for the owls:
1)did u put nail polish on their heads?
2)how did they stay so calm
Le Cowqueen yeah it was nail polish, it’s just used for identification and doesn’t harm them at all 😊
I had an encounter with a small bat in our house. Couldn't find anybody who would come and get it for me. So armed with a towel and praying a lot. I got the little bad out of the house all by myself. I managed not to hurt the bat. Hope I don't ever have to do that again. I think I was more afraid of him than he was of me 😁
❤️
Can thermal detectors like that pick up mice?
They can detect any heat source :)
Why didn't you open the door instead of trying to catch the bat?
I thought that the word crikey came from Australia but I guess I am wrong.To any person who lives in the uk would you please tell me if I am right our wrong and if I am wrong I apologise I mean no disrespect!!!I am a american and I honestly don't know.
Is this the last available episode 😢
Your videos is good
Thanks a lot :)
