- This videos are meant to document the lives of wild barn owl and other birds in order that we can learn more for both educational & research purposes and serve as an aid for the species conservation effort. We do not set up/ stage or intervene. All the videos are documenting wild animals. He the wild barn owls predated pigeons. Predation is a common occurrence in nature.
All the birds in this video are WILD and can enter and leave as they please.
On June 29, 2021 a pigeon entered a barn owl nest box that had 4 nestling that is streamed live in our TH-cam channel (Charter Group Birdcams ציפורים אונליין קבוצת צ'רטר). A this time the barn owl parents roost outside the nest box during the day and returned only at night to feed the young. Here the barn owl parents left their nestlings a lone to defend themselves from the pigeon pair that wanted the nest for themselves. This is second time we documented a pigeon laying eggs inside an active barn owl nest boxes with barn owls nestlings.
All the birds in this video are WILD and can enter and leave as they please.
We set security cameras in bird nests that we stream live in our TH-cam channel “Charter Group Birdcams” in order to observe the birds in nature but not to interfere or intervene.

Probably one of those traumatized barn owl nestlings that grew up and came back to take revenge.
Weren t there 7 owls nestlings? Now there s just 4

I love this arc in the story

After how much shit the Pigeons were giving the owl nestlings I'm not even surprised one of them grew up and finally decided to get some revenge.
I've heard owl, like crow can hold grudge
They seem just as uncoordinated as humans about how to jump someone at the same time.
Yeah and it most likely has a taste for pigeon flesh now and will hunt them for food, since barn owls mostly feed on mice and smaller animals, this is likely a rare occasion where you see a barn owl attack one and eat it..
YES
OWLS STRIKE BACK
Knowing how the last group of adult owl acts protective than outright murderous, this new adult owl grew up with the hate for pigeons. Killing a group of pigeon that was more the owl can eat means there’s another motive
I'd like to think that this is the owl equivalent of Batman. After watching his parents get bullied by pigeons, and his home nearly stole by them, he swore to stop them and their crimes.
The owls are only doing what people would do if something or someone invaded our homes. Any animal will defend their home and territory.
Besides pigeons are the rats of the sky. If a rat invaded your home wouldn't you want to get rid of it?
Pretty sure this is one of the grown owlings from the group of 4 in part 2. Those chicks legit attacked a grown pigeon.
Motive is get off my Lawn.
@@AM-bi1rm the owl was defending itself against the evil pidgeon joggers. That's why the pigeons are called the rats of the sky.
I wonder if that's the same barn owl that got his ass kicked when he was young by that one pigeon. 🤔
We will never know but maybe.
That's why he's so effective at killing pigeons. The scars left by that encounter never left him, so he trained. Trained to be the PERFECT pigeon killer. And we are now seeing the results of that grueling training.

First Time I See a This Part of Cube
Places to stay are comon cause for figths in the wild
This one has a coushioned inside that protects against weather and being seen, and a tall place to lay outside perfect for birds to stay above enemies and survey the area before beginning fligth
But it seems to be out in the open and not very hard to find
So its both a much better place than what alot birds could find (worth fighting for) and open to be seen (and taken) by any contender in the vicinity
This is common in wild
More like box of death.
This is a weird saga. I can't tell if it is the owls who suck at hunting, the pigeons being MMA fighters, or if the owls are playing 4d chess. I mean, maybe the owls were "farming" the pigeons, letting them breed and live so they could be a rainy/cold day food supply.
Barn owls are probably not used to killing pigeon. Their diet consists mostly of rodents and barely any birds. I reckon that’s why pigeons didn’t recognize them as threat as well.
The way I see it, the owl was intentionally killing those who were near the nest as a warning. Their are multiple times he attacks a pigeon and doesn't do anything. Your right it might be not used to eating pigeons but it doesn't have a problem with it either.
I want to believe it was a conscious effort by the owl to kill or attack those pigeons.
Keep in mind that the owl probably couldn't see very well inside the box, but the pigeons were likely completely blind. Owls definitely have the advantage, especially at night, but outside they'd have at least moonlight and starlight to hunt by. In the nest box even they would have problems seeing very well.
Some of these owls were repeatedly attacked by the pigeons when young.. wouldn't be surprised if it's an ongoing feud lol
I don't think they intended to kill the pigeons initally. They just wanted them out of the nest.
The small owl after growing up: The world shall know pain
ALMIGHTY PUSH !
I love the Nagato approves this massage!
Villain arc for one of the nestlings that got bullied by the pigeons when he was younger. He trained and came back, taking revenge. Next comes his redemption arc.
I would watch this anime.
Bro made a whole story 💀
2:08 i love how the barn owl is just casually watching the Pidgeon struggle to get out, not saying anything or doing anything, just watching silently
That's called Lightskin Rizz
This owl really executed a full battle plan to get revenge
i love how the pigeon strategy of "be annoying as possible" ultimately failed because a single owl finally realized "hey! these losers are made out of food!"
They say that pigeons are pretty smart in their own way, but to nest where a PREDATOR is already having growing hatchlings, I'd take my luck elsewhere! I'm with the owls on this one. Been told time and again to 'get out or I'll kill you', yet they return is a new breed of stupidity!
yah i dont know either but sure is pigeons in here is really stupid, they are very suicidal
i think its likely area pressure...other areas where the pigeons can nest are already occupied by other pairs and they cant nest there
Don't expect much from flying rats
Squatters
Have you seen what pigeons consider successful nests? ❤😂
Imagine how terrifying and claustrophobic that must be. It’s pitch black darkness, you can’t see anything and your in a tiny space then you hear something grabbing one of your friends and whacking you in the face with its wings, yet you still can’t see or do anything
That's so scary and I totally forgot this takes place at night
I know that for the Owls is like morning because of their night vision, but I wonder if the pigeons can see in the Dark.
@@geronimozarza8495 pigeons cannot see in the dark, no bird can except owls and a few other nocturnal species.
@@theotheseaeagle They can definitely see, just not clearly. Eyes adjust to darkness, it's rare for night to actually be so dark that animals can't see
@@stevenglikin3219 Yeap, but they see nowhere near as good as owls. So, for pigeons the owl at the night is more like unclear silhouette, that is almost silent and killing them in the dark.
Pigeons: "Finally we scared them off."
Owl: "Guess who's back."
Its almost as if the owls let the pigeon move in to create a known food source? But it isnt eating all of them just dropping by to smoke them lol!

I'm not specialist on birds of prey but this didn't look like hunting at all. This looks like beating up an a-hole :D
Play stupid games win stupid prizes... Owl is a predator with deadlier claws and beak, and nobody likes uninvited guests...
That barn owl is legit ruthless! Before it even entered the nest, it whacked two pigeons sitting outside. Just swooped in out of the darkness like Batman!
this comment made my day
@@OneKC some people are easily pleased
One must wonder why the owls didn't do this immediately
Barn owl typically hunt rodents and not pigeons but you are correct, since they were inside the box, you would of expected that it would of occurred earlier.
@@CharterGroupBirdcams would have expected* :)
Pigeons are a fair bit larger than the usual prey of Barn Owls, this one individual hunting the pigeons was probably unique in having developed technique for hunting pigeons and recognizing that the box, being a common roosting site for pigeons and knowing it's layout, represents an opportunistic food source.
Not really "hunting" pigeons, just killing a competitor, they probably doesn't eat them, not a single bit
@@clockworkolive8533 when there's a shortage of food (rodents) barn owls Wil eat birds. This footage is from November, when the big migration to Africa is approaching it's peak. Millions of birds are consuming grains and crops (so less food for the rodents), and raptors are hunting small mammals including rodents. So pigeons, although not very convenient to pluck and open, are food. Here's a barn owl eating a myna bird... th-cam.com/video/DN3dcTVecU0/w-d-xo.html
The owl has a Vendetta against those pigeons. Atleast he got revenge for getting bullied
A caso vendetta e poi revenge😂
Pigeons are a special kind of stupid, apparently.
Ah yes tall demon guy, best place to start a family
Maybe look up how clever pigeons really are. Pigeons are one of the most intelligent bird species but go off spouting crap based on 1 video lmao
These ones in this video are not the smartest or sharpest around,
But pigeons are incredibly smart apparently
@@AdeDueDamballa. these ones are doing a pretty crappy job of proving your point
@@AdeDueDamballa. this definitely isn’t the video to prove your point bud
3:47 the way it kicked that pigeon off lmao it really had enough
Owl: leave
Pigeons: make us
Owl: well I guess I'm about to have lots of cozy feathers for MY nest
After months of torment the young owl came back to smoke on pigeon packs.
Months not years.
hahahahah
Barn owl: Peace was never an option.
This is fascinating to watch though, never heard of owls taking such big prey, particularly a bird. I wonder if this was actually food motivated or the owl wanted the nest box and wasn't going to take no for an answer.
Just killing, not eating pigeons, barn owl swallow their prey, whole, small rodents
check out a great grey (ghost) owl.....
I think this was a case of the owl having enough of the pigeons bullshit and wanting its nest back.
Interesting to see how the attitudes of these owls evolve, with some being afraid and nonconfrontational while others go on the offensive
Owl: My name is Owligo Montoya. You slapped my mother, prepare to die"
This is so cool to watch! When the owl grabs the pigeons it reminds me of when pigeons used to try nest inside my roof. (There was a visible hole on the underside of it.) I scared a pigeon away and out of nowhere this owl dives on it while it was flying away. Coolest thing ive seen.
Mhm pretty amazing 😊

Damn, the owl wasn't even phased at the wings being slapped in his face. Blind aggression.

I always thought pigeons were dumb, and this proves it. Why would you keep coming back to a box that is a death trap, night after night? Damn fools.
Pigions are highly intelligent. Hence why people used them to carry medsages back in the day.
Maybe lack of nesting places in the area.
@@Ladyscarface exactly! Pigeons, canaries and dogs also helped win the world wars.
@@Ladyscarface that wasn't because they were smart, they just wanted to go home. So still stupid
Pigeons look dumb but are surprisingly inteligent.
I don't really know what's going on here, those are different pigeons every time, probably... They don't see barn owls as predators(they are not) those nest boxes are a highly valuable place to nest, they want the box so bad... and they probably are not really aware those particular barn owls are evolved to kill them so efficiently
If you notice, the pigeons use their very strong wing beat as a defensive weapon, flicking them towards their predators, but you'll only see this within confined spaces, like these nesting boxes, although the owl knows this and keeps away from the pigeons cracking wing beats, then by using it's long legs, it's subdues then kills the pigeons with the characteristic snip of the neck vertebrae.
The pigeons were panicking, they could not see the owl very well so then flailing about was just them trying hastily to find an exit in the darkness. If they were using their wings to attack the owl it would be a lot more head on beating their wings forwards and in a head on position. They also lost lots of feathers because one of a pigeons defence mechanisms is to loosen its feathers so if a predator grabs them it just ends up grabbing a big clump of feathers and they can make their escape
Owly rlly hit em with that kratos "LEAVE. MY. HOME"
That ladies and gents, is how you properly deal with squatters :p
for those who are wondering why the pigeons keep invading i think its because of area pressure...this pair of pigeons need to lay eggs but every place in the area that is suitable for them to nest is likely occupied by other species or other pigeon pairs so they just risk everything
could be wrong but thats the most logical explanation i can think off, if im wrong a pigeon expert can correct me
Nah, you're right
Nature's brutal
Our housing crisis is 1st world/species problems
According to the channel there's a lot of empty nest boxes but for some odd reason they really prefer this occupied one
@@mangopie7602 because pigeons (rock doves) have a very strong homing instinct. Once they consider a place their home they find it very hard to leave. Don’t see why this barn owl just can’t find one of those other nest boxes lol
The pigeons are an introduced pest
@@kharnifex rock doves are native wtf are you on about
It’s literally a slasher movie lmfao. The pigeons in their cabin in the woods getting picked off one by one by a serial killer out for revenge.
George Lucas brings back to us the saga with the new installment called "Revenge of the Owl Nesttling"
The persistence of a pigeon is admirable
Tauben sind einfach nur dumme Viecher werent Eulen schlau und weisse sind 😂😂
By the looks of the pigeon in the last clip that is breathing so heavy, I’m guessing she is laying eggs.
That egg wont last long lol
@@coal9205 Instacart
(whispered) "Not anymore."
I've never seen a bird kill another bird before out of hatred or spite. Based on the other vids on this channel, this must be one of the barn owl nestlings that experienced being traumatized by the pigeons invading their nest, and then grew up to take vengeance on the pigeons.
I love how the owls keep returning like GET THE F*** OUT MY DAMN HOUSE
Sometimes 4th parts aren't good and not even needed. This, nevertheless, is the 4th chapter we didn't know we needed, and it's indeed pure gold
0:47 SHE TOOK OUT THE GUARD FIRST
"How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?"
It's amazing how pigeons survive as long as they have being so dumb
Maybe look up how clever pigeons really are. Pigeons are one of the most intelligent bird species but go off spouting shit based on 1 video lmao
@@AdeDueDamballa. well they must be smart somehow since they are like rats. They just act dumb. Lol
@@AdeDueDamballa. exactly, pigeons are even smarter than chimps (our closest relative).
Pigeons here are not dumb because the barn owls are never their predator and they know it, plus this video is like a rare sight in which you will see a barn owl kill and eat a pigeon...Pigeons will always escape if they see falcons, hawks or eagles nearby because they know, those predators feed on them unlike the barn owl.
@@aldendiaz1165 interesting
1:39 Goddamn! That escalated quickly...
It's like living in an apartment with your friends despite them getting murdered left and right in front of you.
The pigeons created an owl Joker

This channel is making me SO INTERESTED IN OWLS. Like dude, this owl strategically destroyed this pigeon clan night after night to get it's home back. That's some next level thinking for an animal. Everything about the way these barn owls, act, move, and look suggests they are intelligent as HELL!!!
Ja Eulen sind intelligent werent Tauben dumm sind es gibt sogar ein Video wo Tauben an einen Fluss zu baden kommen und welse sich darauf spezialisiert haben die Tauben direckt von Ufer wegzuholen weren die Tauben keine Strategie entwickelt haben um auf die Gefahr zu reagieren 😂😂😂
I love how the villainous owl just stands there and is just unbothered by its prey trying to escape.
What's going through the pigeons' heads? "Hmm, yes, a deadly predator is attacking. I will stay here and lay my eggs." I thought pigeons were fairly smart but I guess not these ones
1:34 "BONK!!!"
Good nesting spots must be hard to find for the pigeons to keep going back
That owl had one hardcore origin story to do this
Owl be like
You should of kill me when you had the chance!
Evidently pigeons have the memory capacity comparative to a goldfish. Interesting.
They don't react to their own kind being killed which is another problem, which has been tested, while on the other hand bird species like crows or ravens which are very intelligent would have the owls marked for death for miles and miles, and they recognize and remember individuals and pass the information on to others of their kinds, unlike the winged rats
All parts show that the pigeons were not successfull to hatch an egg with also constant fear of barn owl attacks. It looks like a suicide mission for the pigeons and it's eggs.
Rorscach Owl : "im not stuck in here with you, you're stuck in here with me"
This whole drama is still better than the transformers franchise .
This Owl has one heck of a grudge against pigeons😳
"There's nowhere to run to baby, there's nowhere to hide"!
2:57 "It's a murder scene and the killer is at large, but look at all this bedding!"
Yeah, that owl has returned with a vendetta.
Idk if it’s because it wasn’t night when the owls were still in there. But i like how bugs start to fester in the box the moment the pigeons moved in.
I mean if you take the intelligence of a crow i feel like owls are not far off and if a crow can hold a grudge im sure owls can too and I feel like I know exactly which owl nestling from before this was
Actually pigeons are more closer to the intelligence level of a crow than an owl is.
Well then I have a feeling there will be a third video and it will be the revenge of the pigeons and I can't wait
@@AdeDueDamballa. mmm yeah but the thing is pidgeons in my area are incredibly stupid the one of the smartest animals on earth (the magpie) played with a pidgeon by chasing it till it hit a window and died then the magpie ate it
What is so wanting about this nesting spot?? Owls and Pigeons both want it.
The pigeons are not willing to give it up. There are actually close to 200 nest boxes in the region so it is weird they want this box.
They have prob used it before. I'm not an expert in any way. But I have heard that most birds like to or will atleast try to return to their most successful breeding place.. so if they had a successful hatch there before. It's possible they just want it back.
probably temperature, resources in the area and location when it comes to hiding
I have always been fascinated by owls but it's hard to watch this considering I also Iove pigeons and even own one as a pet.
I can't help but feel bad for the pigeons. Do they keep returning? Or is this separate pairs of pigeons?
Barn owl is cleaning house
I can die in peace knowing that the owls got the justice they deserved.
pigeons unprepared for a boss fight
That's called a Gangsta Owl........He aint playing around.....
Will this start a ripple in the future for owls and pigeons? Will they naturally become enemies? This is good data here!
Shit it's 4am but now I'm invested in finding out how this saga ends
When the pigeon look at camera is like "HELP ME I JUST WANT TO SLEEP. WHY U WATCH ME SUFFER "
Nah hold on cuz this owl gotta be trained by John wick 😭😭😭😭
It’s sad reading the comments just shows how the Pigeon is such an underestimated bird. People who don’t have an interest in wildlife or birds tend to think of pigeons as stupid or dirty. Pigeons are one of the most intelligent bird species, they’re monogamous (meaning they mate with one mate for life) and they helped humans in so many wars. Sounds like a pretty great bird to me.
Yeah, well sometimes it hard to remember this when the pigeons do stuff like they did in this saga of videos
@@DinosaurToothbrush_NinjaSauce They’re birds. Don’t measure their worth by human ethics. In another story, a pigeon nest is raided by barn owls and the nestlings are killed and eaten. It happens both ways. It’s important to admire and try to understand nature’s animal relationships instead of judge them.
pigeons are pretty badass themselves
Definitely got the pigeon hate vibe from most comments haha, I like pigeons! I love crows as well, it’s pretty here though
And surprisingly one f the FASTEST flyers!
That owl is there to do BATTLE!! The definition of “on-sight “
This is like the third act of The Odyssey.
The owl casually watched the bird try and escape
Poor poor pigeon, they're my favourite birds, but sometimes really stupid :(
Oh well at least it was a "natural" death, not by some poison in the city.
And the owl got it by the throat, which is a much better death than many animals caught by birds of prey get.
This is somehow satisfying to watch while i’m thinking of how messy my balcony was because of pigeons’ shit.
The look on the owls face says it all: he’s tired of this, and he’ll strike.
Pigeon:symbols peace
Any other animals: its food man
Are there not enough good nesting places in the area that the pigeons keep coming back to this spot?
I'd love to donate or something for some more nesting places fitting for pigeons and other birds.
The pigeons are like thugs. They break in and have a sense of entitlement.
Reading comments from other videos on this topic, apparently there are plenty of vacant nesting boxes. The pigeons for some weird reason are adamant about taking occupied ones
@@Catenfur I think many bird species look at an occupied nest box or a hotly contested one as a very good nest site, they seem to fight over the “best” spots and have the instinctual stubbornness to keep trying to nest in the ideal place even while having to fight off other contenders.
@@Deadassbruhfrfr Owls don't even build their own nests. They take nests that others have built. (It's a common behavior for many birds. Why build a nest when you can take one that's just sitting there?) On the contrary, young eagle couples will sometimes build "practice nests" just for experience when it's not mating season. (These nests are usually then taken by an owl.) Owls also regularly sucker-punch eagles at night... not to eat the eagles or anything. They just want to mess with them at night (because an eagle would rip them apart during the day). Owls steal nests and hit others just for fun or out of self defense... So if you want to call a pigeon a thug, you should also call an owl a thug.
@@Catenfur The pigeons may have used that nest before the owls nested there, and thought of it as their home. Their homing instinct told them that was the place they should be, so they felt compelled to nest there. Instinct can sometimes be irrational, but instinct operates outside of logic. It can't be controlled.
