we have a breeding pair of melanistic barn owls, last year we had two babies, smokey and bandit. so popular at our centre. cannot believe how small they are. this was the second clutch. first one we had one chick and the parents ate it. love you r channel regards Mick
I find you videos very informing I grew up in the desert in Southern California. One day walking around I came across a baby owl. Who was too young to fly not sure what kind it was but not a barn owl. I took it home with me and raised it. I never intended to use it to hunt but I was doing the best I could to raise it did not know what to feed him so it was mostly hot dogs. I was always interested in Falconry and now I understand that here in the USA you have to be a falconer to keep an owl as a pet. I did get really attached to that bird so it was sad to me when I had to let him go back into the wild When the Harry Potter movies came out I remembered my owl. This is a stupid question but is there a record of anyone using an Owl to carry messages? Thanks Steve
That’s a very interesting story, thank you for sharing, no I don’t think anyone has used an owl for a message, it most likely would not make it to anyone after being sent
Hi mate. Great channel. I have a barn owl, she is 5 years old. I have a tracking device coming in the next few days. Where would i mount it ??? On the tail?? Or ive heard sometimes on its back between her wings ??? Also when i fasten my hanging clip, do i nip it all the way or just til i decide its secure? Thanks.

I think I’ve heard this somewhere before 😂 I never realised how quickly they grew until I saw it, it is amazing.
Shhh! 😂
It’s insane, when you wake up on a morning and are surprised at how much it’s grown overnight
Got an opportunity to imprint a barn owl currently have an active nest hatching can you make a video on imprinting owls please?
All new to me - thank you
Can’t wait till the bird flu has passed and we can do some proper flying again!
