- Viewer Discretion Advised. The barn owl and pigeons in this video are WILD and can enter and leave as they please. The pigeon nestlings parents left it alone during night and barn owl appeared, entered the nest box and killed the pigeon nestling. Barn owl bred in the box last spring and barn owl also killed pigeons a year ago (see here: • Crazy, The Barn Owl Pi... ). This was sad indeed, nature is tough.
These videos are meant to document the lives of wild barn owls 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 barn owls.
We love nature and want to share some of the beautiful wildlife in Israel.

Important notes about barn owls and these cams: All these nest boxes have been monitored as part of our research group’s scientific activities from the Shamir Research Institue and University of Haifa in Israel. All the owls/birds are wild and are free to come and go. We monitor around 200 nest boxes/ 30-60 pairs a year but do not interfere in the owls breeding. In general barn owl pair fledged on average 5 fledglings per pair (range 1- 11 fledglings) but their breeding success decrease in the breeding season with earlier pairs more successful than later pairs. We add cameras either before the pair lay eggs or only have all the nestlings hatched in order to not disturb the owls. So these CAMs are in fact a very small percentage of the overall pairs we monitor. We added the cams as part of own research to learn more about them but also in order that people could observe owls lives without disturbing them. Some later pairs sometimes fail do to a lack of food. This may be hard to observe but this is nature and this is how the barn owls have evolved. You can watch a lecture to given by Dr. Motti Charter to learn more: • Everything you ever wa... .
Some people comment about cleanliness of barn owls nest due to TH-cam cleaning nests out a lot. Barn Owls do not have any sense of smell and brings dead animals, some of them later rot and also regurgitates owl pellets inside the nests. Owls do not clean their nests and natural nest sites stay like this until they either fall a part or fill up. We do clean our nest once a year, so in fact our nest boxes are cleaner than natural ones. Cleaning boxes too much can cause pairs to abandon and also takes aware beneficial insects that help keep the boxes clean.

Barn owls
This pair laid 6 eggs and out of the 45 pairs we monitored this year, this pair is the latest laying pair (laid eggs on May 10nd) in the Hula Valley we monitored. This is the second year in a row this box laid laid late. Typically, later laying pairs succeed less than earlier laying pair so there is a chance that not of all of the nestling will survive.
In response to suggestions which have been occasionally posted in the chat box, we would like to clarify that at the Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology, we use nest boxes (including this one) large enough to fledge very large broods - the largest successfully raised brood consisted of 11 barn owl fledglings.

0:22 “Huh, what’s this thing?” (Nudges it) “Oh, crap. It’s alive.”
0:36 "GET OUT."
To be fair, the owl just wanted to nest in the box and tried VERY hard to scare the nestling away. The nestling, being unable to fly at all, had no choice but to try to defend itself. A valiant effort but it was no match.
It's not barn owl nesting season in Israel right now. With tons of birds migrating to that area during this time of the year, food for barn owls become scarce. They won't shy away from attacking baby pigeons or other birds.
You don’t need to be fair about wild animals being wild animals 😂
@@CatBirdFemmeDon't forget that he was killed fast without much pain.
Unlike other animals like lions and aligators who tear animals apart to feel every pain on their body from their teeths.
Unfortunately, the mother pigeon came to nest in the box. If it built its nest in a tree, it would jump away.
@@SeriousDragonify Lions suffocate their prey before eating
Yes it is a shame that the nestling had to die but it’s the pigeons fault for still laying eggs in a barn owls nest
Or the person who is making these videos is.
@@duncan3998 They don't have to intervene every time pigeons come in, pigeons are stupid and don't know danger, and this is just how nature is.
I like how it was afraid of the nestling in the beginning LOL
it's not afraid xxd
It was trying to scare it away. It was not afraid. It wanted it to leave the nest.
When did parents start leaving squab alone at night? They appeared to have been overprotective.
And the box of death continues. Looks like it's just Cam 1 having success this autumn.

It has to be that one rogue owl that got bullied by the pigeons when it was still nestling.
had to be scary for the pigeon considering it was in the dark
fym dark? they can see eachother
What is the number of pigeons that were killed in this box?
Ehmmmm.....
2 (inside, including this one) and 3 outside (intruder pigeons)
@@renzoe.v9484 inside 2 nestlings killed by owls and one female pigeon killed by myna
@@renzoe.v9484 thank you for telling me.
Brave young pigeon but sad still
1:54 The sound of horror 💀
Yeah, what IS that?
Incredible nature accruing
i dont understand.
how did the owl kill it? did it stab it with its claws?
coz i dont see any fatal peck to the head or anything..
I hope you post an update when the pigeon parents come back!!!
It took some time for the Barn Owl to kill the chick when it got hold of it. Do you know if also takes time when they kill rats or rabbits?
When they attack prey they go directly in on the kill. Here the owl entered the box to look inside the cavity and was surprised by the pigeon nestlings.
@@CharterGroupBirdcams thanks.
Do you know how barn owls usually kill their prey? By bitting into the neck or head?
In the case of very tiny prey like mice, sometimes a barn owl can come down with enough force to kill it on impact when they hit the target with their feet. But their talons are powerful and they have great footing grip, which they use to hold their prey and try to quickly go for the head and neck
Since pigeons used to be domesticated they are awful at nesting… so it’s no surprise that they’d be dumb enough to try and Nest with Owls.
Owl: what the hell is that thing doing here? Is it alive ( moves it ) it’s alive. I’m gonna kill it right now.!!!!!
This is screwed where mother and father pigeon
Ok, after having watched a bunch of videos on this channel I have a question: Why do barn owls and pigeons insist on breeding in the same nest box. It should be very clear by now that they are not getting along, so why take the chances to get you or your offspring killed?
"Wheres your mum?"
the owl properly wait when the prey completly dies...thats good hunt. because some animal eats its prey even when its alive....
Oh no! 😔
Was the barn owl killed a pigeon nestling?
Aw I wish they animals could coexist how cute would it be the barn owl just sitting next to the pigeon
Такой был хорошенький голубёнок.
very sad really and the squab was doing so well...but what can you do, thats nature for you
at least on the plus side cam 1 was very successful and the babies there will leave very soon
I knew him when he was just an egg. 😥
Me too. So sad for the baby. 😢
I read this and cried ;;
@@LisaLovesFugglers i wanna cry too. Heartbreaking
I know it’s hard to not get attached but they are in the wild where everything is unpredictable and all things are part of the food chain one way or another.
Yeah but he didn't know what he did and he didn't mean to. So that's technically not the food chain one way or another.
rip
barn owl so cute i see no bad in my eyes hehe
oh look we got an idiot over here who thinks saying crap like this makes them cool lol grow up loser
I hate to see this because I use to fly pigeons and breed pigeons here in NYC. I love them so much but I do understand the order that The Most High established here on earth , and so it is with every animal. The poor youngster never had a chance against a predator. The Hawks, Eagles and Falcons use to decimate my pigeons on a daily basis when I used to fly them.
Just understand that a squab is pigeon bred for human consumption . A youngster is a pigeon bred for it's purpose to be a pigeon for flying or breeding. I'm 66 years of age and totally experienced with pigeons since I was 16 years of age. I may not have a pigeon coop now but I make sure that I take care of the wild pigeons as they are my friends. I love them just like the pigeons that are of breed. They show the same love .
Barn owls are much more valuable than pigeons, the nest is clearly seen for whom it is made
Harry, have you ever tried squab? I think I ate some in Las Vegas a long time ago.
Sad to see, but most predators' meals are full of anxiety and fear.
Ok... The lil nudge at the beginning was polite
อาหารมือค่ำของ Owl 😅
No...
Oh well
😂
Если бы свет не горел, сова бы не нашла голубёнка.
А он и не горел.камера в ночном режиме снимает.сове свет не нужен
Странно только, как голубёнок видел сову в темноте, если сражался с ней.
Owls are built to hunt at night, they have great night vision and don't need light to see. The light is infrared
This is Natur
Would it be too difficult for the Barn Owl to throw out the nestling instead of killing it?
More food then throw it out
It would still die
Idk, go ask it yourself.
Would have died slowly and painfully
Жаль голубёнка!
Ну а сове надо как то жить
Но это не значит, что надо на голубёнка нападать пока родителей нет.
Вы такая милая, что я с Вами согласен, но это судьба....
Да, от судьбы не уйдёшь.
@@AMELIA-95 Вообще, голубь бестолковая птица, а сова приносит большую пользу , уничтожая грызунов
Squab is delicious
I think you should get rid of theses man made boxes with two different species in it that the smaller ones can't survive
That’s impossible to do. These are owl boxes made for the owls. The pigeon parents know that owls uses these boxes, just check out some of this channels other videos. Pigeons will even try to nest in them with large barn owl nestlings inside of them….seriously that wasn’t going to work from the start. There will be plenty of empty boxes even and the pigeons will insist on trying to enter boxes with the owls in them. There is no way to make a nesting box for predatory birds that non predatory birds won’t try to nest in at some point. The same situation even happens in natural tree cavities. Nature creates them as well as humans. It’s just the way nature works
It happens. Do you think that house sparrows care that I have boxes made specifically for purple martins? Well, they don't.
Dude why are you here
