Little Owls | From Egg to Hatch | Breeding Birds of Prey

- Take a journey with me into the world of incubation and hatching birds of prey.
Today we look at the wonderful world of Little Owls (Athene noctua).
Adults weigh around 180g.
These chicks hatched at weights between 10g and 12g. They are just tiny. In six weeks they will be fully grown and ready to start trying to fly!
The incubators I use are:
Brinsea Raptor Contact Incubator
Grumbach S84
Brinsea Mini II

Dang you got some serious Hi-Tech super expensive lab Bird raising equipment. Falconry and me ain't messin around.
If the egg is rockin', the chick is knockin"......
You have the patience and compassion of an angel.
All she lacks are wings of her own.
Patience is a virtue
you are an impressive lady; smart, knowledgeable, dedicated, tender, caring, and lovely
this is quickly becoming my favorite YT channel
You are absolutely correct, I have 500+ channels, this one has moved to the top, and getting better.
she's pretty cute too
I love all the information that you give out and I really appreciate everything you do. If you could turn down the music while you are talking, old folks like me with bad ears will hear every word you say.
I want to say again and wish my words had what it took to say how wonderful this channel is an the large amount of information on the subject. WOW! I wish my science teacher was as efficient as you are.
"Just like humans, not everyone's a good parent" christ that's heavy, delivered so casually
but the truth
Truth! I was watching info graphic channel and do many serial killers come from bad parents abusing the children 😭
@Brian Landers if you will do the reading you will learn what makes a sociopath is inconsistent discipline. John Douglas has written books on serial killers. They are good reading. He is a humble and very intelligent man. Yes, many had bad parents, but not every child from a horrific upbringing becomes bad. Some develope compassion beyond the norm.
in the same truthful manner as "they [birds] don't love us" she said in her q&a video.
@Brian Landers Unfortunately many can't chose whether they have children or not, or they think they can do better.
This channel just popped out of nowhere and now completely takes over my life. Spent hours after the live stream reading up on eggs and chicks. This is my new fave channel. Thanks for sharing this amazing world you have created.
Welcome aboard! I'm glad it gave you something a bit different to get stuck into :)
This channel popped up after I watched an episode of Modern History about falconry in the Middle Ages a few weeks ago. Addicted now!
So Amy is a midwife and wet nurse to these cute babies. Thanks for sharing this with us
haha
Aww. This is lovely. Since the parents are Sage and Olive, the chicks should be named after other spices. Saffron, Thyme, Basil, Cinnamon, Coriander.
If you want to keep the theme going, but I know Owldemort is already named. And I had posted a list of names on the Fable video.
Stumbled upon this channel, glad I did I didn't realise how intrested I am in birds lol thanks great informative channel.
CRAZY UZ
and?
lies and slander! stumble upon is defunct!
Like you I found this channel totally by accident and now I'm totally addicted. I've always found all birds, especially birds of prey fascinating. Owls in particular have a place in my heart.
Sometimes I forget how wonderful humans can be. It’s easy to be angry at the world and humans when it seems like all we do is hurt and destroy, even without meaning to. But then I see things like this. And I thinks it’s so beautiful, that particularly kind humans can build relationships of trust with animals, and feed them, care for them, and help with their babies. It makes me really happy, to see that goodness. Especially here, where it’s done with such respect and kindness and love. Thank you for sharing, it made me smile lots. ❤️
Cannot heart and like this comment enough... It's moments like these videos, with people like Amy, that show thr best of humanity.
The other part is how it can move peoplr like us... And even more, those like you that can recognize and voice something, that to some may be stating the obvious that people either turn a blind eye to, are unaware of, or simply unable to understand what it is, what it could mean, and how to simple not take it for granted.
Thank you for your thoughts.
I wish Amy could read your comment. (sorry if i got their name wrong. I am going by the comments. I haven't caught up with past videos.)
You're coming along leaps and bounds with the editing, which must be particularly difficult when expanding your workload in all directions. Thanks Amy for sharing this with all of us!
This channel is my new favorite to watch out for notifications
Omg Amy, this just blew me away, I don't think I have seen anything so beautiful as watching these little guys break free from the shell, I actually had tears in my eyes, my heart melted, and when you fed the little one....Pure and utter joy, you are a diamond! 💕🙏
Holy smokes...I am at a loss for words...It's truly amazing just how difficult it is to be born, no matter what species. Thanks so much for sharing your informative videos with us.
Sue, I mean...
baby seahorses are shot out of their father like seven a time...
But most species this is true
I loved it the most when they dried off and got fluffy! What a gift to see them hatch! Thank you!
Passed out in his high chair... Was that one little orange? 😂😂 Beautiful job on the video.. These raptors couldn't have asked for a better human to represent them on a global scale.
I have a feeling your videos have reached a lot of new people. Many of them, had they been back to their normal daily routines, wouldn't be watching TH-cam in the first place. Falconry has so many wonderful facets to it and you've creatively highlighted one of the most beautiful aspects of Spring... Babies 💕 I hope good things come from this pandemic and for me, being able to watch your live stream and this video is one of them, especially after coming home from urgent care and a Covid test!
You hit the nail on the head. Love her videos because of how she presents all the info, with genuine love for it. Great video and great comment!
Hope you are okay, great comment.
So adorable. I absolutely admire your work. The editing is fantastic by the way, the quality of your videos keeps getting better and better! They're all wonderful regardless. :) Love from Egypt!
Look at them little feeties! they come with claws. This warmed my heart so very much. We raise ducks and chickens, never seen a baby owl chick before. You are one very lucky lady, and I'm really grateful for your channel here. Blessings to you and those beautiful feather friends. You're an amazing human mommy for them all. Good job. 5 stars, thumbs up. Great work.
Yeah, the claws are amazing!
Birth. I had a moment when the light showed them wiggling around in the shell.
Its the feet that get me
Falconry And Me
The veins against the shell. Which you pointed out is why you can’t help them, they might bleed out, or blood left behind.
YT has no shortage of birds and handlers. But YT rarely has content as sincere, honest, humble, and charming as you (and your channel).
@@FalconryAndMe Yes I felt quite the same. It's almost like they are saying hello or maybe high five. ; )
@@larryscott3982 Isn't that the truth. I really like this young lady. She is a wonderful spokes person for falconers and birds world wide.
You make such great videos and are such a great storyteller! This was very cool.
Greetings from Atlanta, GA! I am so happy you appeared in my suggestions list. Not only are you inspiring in your work and in knowledge of these birds, but you are also an excellent teacher. I have already learned so much today as I have watched several of your videos. Absolutely fascinating!
Small world! Another Atlanta resident watching as well.
@@DadBodDrumming Indeed!
How’s the ATL?
Me, too!
For anyone on this side of the world, Charleston SC has an avian conservation and bird of prey center on the other side of Mount Pleasant that has tours and flight demonstrations. Their work and program is really worth the time to check out. Going there was a highlight of our vacation.
I actually cried watching this. ❤️
When I was in Junior High, I wanted to be an ornithologist, my heart broke when I realized there wasnt any university dedicated on the study of birds... now I am an animator and I draw birds whenever I can 💕 thanks for uploading this videos!
Met a falconer recently who does pest control. I work at a hospital and the falconer uses a Harris hawk to scare off blackbirds and pigeons from the buildings. saw the bird but did not get too near as it was all flappy. Probably eats hospital staff in its spare time ;)
We can't afford to lose our precious hospital staff to hawks right now! 😋
I 😍 that the Trust allow natural control methods on the pigeon population. I remember 20 years ago a falconer friend lost contracts in city centres using peregrine as a deterrent (sometimes it would act on its amazing abilities) as some local people complained about having their children exposed to natural hunting behaviours. *sigh*
You are producing some of the best content on TH-cam... ever!
Thank you
Greetings from Denmark. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤️🙏🇩🇰
Enthusiasm, passion, devotion are contagious. Amy is hatching a whole brood of subscribers who never knew how much they would love birding.
Your channel brings me joy and happiness everyday I get to watch something new, I love seeing all this new life being born, it's beautiful. Thank you for what you do, you're doing more than just educating us, you are doing a good service during this crisis of Covid and this is a good way to break away from that nasty world and relax. Thank you again!
I have a mental tableaux of the bad parents referring to you as 'The Child Protection Services Lady" when you're out of the mews.
The Egg Protection Service 😉

Good shot! You can see his little egg tooth really nice there.
These guys are so cute!
Yes she is such an amazing teacher. I love birds now. And falconry. Wish I could find a sponsor one day not now but in a few years. Keep it up!
What a breath of fresh air!! As a RN working on the frontlines, and living through the stress of Covid 19, this helps me forget about work ,which is very much needed right now! Hello from California!
The love and care you show these beautiful little creatures is inspiring , i so wish I could have watched this when I was a child , it was my dream to be with birds of prey , but I’m getting to see some real life experiences . Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us 🥰
A great big wonderful "WOW".. Grateful thanks for all your dedication. To see the arrival of new life in these current times is just so beautifully uplifting.
Great video. Loved being there for the live stream!
So glad you joined me! It was very exciting :D
Hi Amy,
after a so-so day, this is very uplifting :) I watched the third chick hatch on the livestream the other day and that was so amazing :) thnks for sharing :)
Found this channel by chance on Friday and spent the day catching up with videos. And then there was the treat of the livestream when the eggs hatched! So interesting, so thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion with us. Fascinating.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the skill, care, and compassion you show for your feathered family! Boop boop!
What a beautiful and peaceful little movie. Thank you for sharing this with everyone.
Yes, peaceful is exactly the word I was looking for!
Anyone that Loves and cares about what they do as much as you do has my total admiration :-))) xx
This is quickly becoming my favorite new channel !
It is amazing to see inside the egg. Even to the movement inside.
Awesome production.....! (Are you sure that you’re not related to David Attenborough....?) If UK is not Proud of you,...rest assured that you’ve raised enthusiasm here in Florida.....!
I have question, after viewing this extraordinary production for the fourth time. As I am not familiar with the UK’s history of power outages, but, do you have access to a back-up electrical source, (generator or car power inverter), in the event there should be an outage, while you are in an incubation process.? That’s pretty much the only time you would require a generator, cause the equipment you use is kinda similar to ICU and/or prenatal care.! Anyway,...you are certainly a jewel to our human race for such heart felt dedication and duty to our feathered companions...! Keep on, keep on, young lady.
Hogwarts is an off grid university, no electric needed.
leo ll ,....thank you for prompt reply which is understandable in UK, perhaps, but being USA myself, do not understand terms you use for,...always electricity..! Just being curious of actual needs to operate.
@@harmon1286 I remember from the livestream she did recently she mentionned that she would sleep in short periods of time (like 4hrs or something) during the whole incubation process to go check up on the incubators, see if everything is still properly functionning.
I assume these things are well insulated so they can retain heat for an amount of time at least, but I'm not sure about what she has in case of a full power outage. I assume she has a backup power source give the importance of keeping this equipment running at all times but I don't remember anyone asking about that.
I’m almost lost for words as to your dedication, knowledge, care & love you have for what you do.
So glad I found you on TH-cam 👍🏻
A wonderful 10 minutes of calmness, education and listening to you Amy describe with such passion and care all about these young owlets! Thank you, 💚💚
The love and adoration you put into these animals just amazes me! ^^
Another brilliant video even the choice of music, these chicks are so lucky to have a Mum like you
Miracles happen every second. Thanks for taking the time to allow us to experience these.
Who in the heck would thumbs down this video???? I want a Fable t shirt!!💕💕
Nikki Taylor SkyHigh Retrievers I’m gonna buy a shirt to support her too.
Me too (from New Zealand) I've bought one to support the wonderful work she does for these birds.
boop boop!
You are a born teacher. This videos and your others are proof of that!
Excellent footage. Seeing the little birds in their eggs is magical.
How can there be 9 people who don’t like this video ? Amie it’s a marvel how you do all this ... it takes me to another world that I find fascinating but couldn’t do myself. Thank you for the channel.
Amy....held my breath watching the wee thing break out. Absolutely love the video and music, its perfect. Thank you 🏴🏴🏴
Greetings from New Zealand Amy. I am just loving all your videos, you do an amazing job with all your birds and great videos too. We in NZ are not allowed to keep birds of prey, so my husband and I are fast becoming addicted to your channel. We do have a native Falcon (kārearea) and we have been to Wingspan in Rotorua to see them flown which was amazing, but must say that seeing your birds tops this as you have so many varieties. Loving the baby little owls :D
What an AMAZING life you have!! I am just fascinated by your channel. You are an amazing person. I have watched all of your videos and can't wait for the next one. I want to thank you for all you do and especially for taking the time to share with us. Great job!!
You are getting better and better at editing, Amy!
This video is very nicely done!👍😊
Haha thank you 😅
Oh my goodness I could watch that for hours! How amazing is nature and seeing the beauty of new life! Thank you for sharing a tidbit of this miracle!
Just wanted to make sure you know how fantastic a person you are. Thank you so much for giving us a glimpse into your wonderful world!!!! = D
Beautiful! I’m so intrigued with your work. You’re so compassionate and intelligent. The babies look like miniature angels. 🥰
Awww! I raised two barn swallows because I unintentionally caught the parents in a fly tape. I spent hours catching spiders then baby hoppers. Insupplemented with wet dog food and wet cat food on a tooth pick! Sending you and all yours much love and respect.
I had no idea it took so long after pipping for eggs to hatch. I had always thought it was like 10 mins. Super cool
Whoever edits these videos does a really good job
This is a beautiful video Amy x
Amazing video AMy, I watched them being born live it’s so good to see them doing so well x
That’s was so well done. I like the baby owl high chair when feeding and they look like little fluffy puppies when there’re together sleeping. ❤️ take care!
I will never get tired of watching chicks hatch!
I totally understand your deep love and respect for these little ones, seeing how much you love and care for them, amazing
Thank you for the endorphin rush! So refreshing to read such POSITIVE comments for a change 🙌
This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I raised bronze turkeys many years ago and I wasn’t smart like you. When one hatched and dried off I went in and held it and fed it and then she imprinted on me and would never mate with the rooster turkey. Thank you for sharing this with us.💖
I am finding the different species of birds very interesting. Never would have thought. Its pretty awesome you could take the eggs and give dummies. Absolutely a size difference. Gosh it's just simply so exhausting for them after the pip to a hatch. You do a wonderful job I must say. What a beautiful thing to see. A new life. Welcome to the world little one. Awesomeness. Aww little bobbles. I'm in awwwe. Tysm for sharing this beautiful sighting. ❤
I absolutely love that this channel exists. I find this all insanely fascinating but would in no way shape or form have the patience required to keep birds.
Thank you so much for sharing. I watched the live stream on catch up last night, and enjoyed every minute of the babies that hatched. I’m so happy you have done this video, they’re so darn cute! Please keep us updated with their development, especially when mummy gets some of her babies back to care for herself and more updates on the ones that are to be hand reared. The more videos the better, I’ll never bore watching them. Fantastic job you’re doing. 🦉😍
This is so beautiful! This made me ugly cry and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Greetings from Michigan.
Can't wait for this precious fella to eat their sworn enemies and poop them all into furry capsules...
Mother Nature at her finest, folks!
I have no idea how I found this channel, but I am totally hooked!
Your editing is getting really good...
This channel is gonna be huge.
Oh my, teared up slightly! Little things 💕 She is so gentle with them. Ummm, who would thumbs down this vid??
Love these beautiful little ones! Great video! I am still over the moon about the livestream. It was fascinating!
WOW, life is a miracle. And if you are able to observe or help, what a blessing of the Universe.
Four beautiful gifts ... who could ever deserve to have such precious treasures? How happy your life must be to be able to do such fulfilling work.
Absolutely fascinating! I loved every minute of it. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and sharing.
Facsinating process to watch, it really makes you think of the survival rate in the wild..
Amazing! And wonderful editing and background music!
Such a wonderful series. This has given me hours of pleasure. Thanks so much!
This melts my heart!
Amazing! Look forward to watching them develop, thank you.
This channel and the work you do is fantastic! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Nothing cuter than those little fluffy owl butts!!
I am subscribed to several TH-cam channels ( podcasts ) I watch a few daily. The ones I watch make feel like family. Thank you for being part
Wow, thank you...I think we have one big crazy bird family here
Thank you so much for all you share and so thoughtfully!
Fantastic. Great job with this video Amy!
Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and upload. Clearly this not an easy job, but your passion shows. Those chicks look so exhausted after hatching. Whew! Boop boop!
Wow, that was great to watch! Welcome little owls!
Wonderful video, and just shows how much you care for all your birds 🙂
I’m crying. This is so beautiful. It touches my soul.
That was AMAZING!!!! Thank you, Amy! That was a perfect video!
Falconry And Me, That was thee most Adorable thing I've ever seen. Thank you!
What a tonic to watch your brilliant video after grading statistics tests. Thanks Amy.
This was an incredible video to watch. The miracle of life on full display. Thank you for sharing!
It is so amazing to see the whole process. Thank you
Thank you for showing us these lovely scenes
