    To those saying "him". If you look at one of the recent comments, it actually was a "her." The people in the video did what they could with what they had to help rehabilitate her. Under a lot of circumstances, the best you can hope for is familiarity and not "imprinting." Imprinting is what you see on a lot of owl montage videos where people either acquired them as hatchlings and raised them from such and treated them as pets, or rescued an injured owl who could no longer survive on its own in the wild. When you have a hatchling who hasn't opened its eyes yet, once it does it "imprints," on the first thing it regularly sees. Even most wild animals in that circumstance will become somewhat docile and "domesticated," (though not entirely) and with no lessons in surviving on its own become dependent on the "mother."
    Even typical pets like cats and dogs can do this. For example, one of my cats I get at an extremely young age not of my own choice. I opened my car door in a Wal-Mart parking lot and next thing I know this little bundle of fur jumps up inside, curls up in a little cat toy I never used and was going to give to Goodwill, and just looks at me and purrs. First time I take him to the vet, he's shielded himself in my arms while the vet talks to me and is queuing off my reactions to the vet to gauge how he should act. I only know this because the vet called my attention to it. Ever since, he's been fuzzy velcro.
    The people in this video really should be commended for doing what they could to rehabilitate the owl with what they had and try to keep their distance. In a later comment, they mention that *she* is now living independently around their house and has reproduced on her own, but while being *familiar* with them, keeps her distance. Which without the benefit of a nearby raptor facility, is the best you really can hope for in terms of making sure the animal stays alive but can fend for itself.

      It's very hard to found out if an owl is a him or her. How do you know this is a her?

      @null0byte 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Indigo Dancer I really couldn't tell you, I'm going off the comment of the poster of the video. Like I said in my comment, if you go through the comments you'll see the poster replied to someone else calling the owl "her." As I myself have no experience with owls, and certainly no close up experience or access to any experts who would have the experience to know far more than me, I'm going to take the comment of the person who had at face value.

      @@indidancer8109 the only sure way to tell is by a blood test but with birds of prey females are usually 25-33% larger then males but owls arent as pronounced as other raptors

    • @chukob5
      @chukob5 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Late comment but females usually have a dark facial disc (circle around the face), that’s a way to tell if it’s male or female if you don’t have the pair of owls to tell the size difference

    I had the good fortune of tracking two owlets and the mom and dad from April to August in 2009. What an education I received. The biggest treat was realizing that the mom or dad took turns watching the babies and would use my back yard as a respite spot when the adults needed alone time. Only one parent would show up. It was funny we all need alone time. I witness the stages of their growth all the way to witnessing the parents teach the young ones how to fly in and out of the trees into the fields and back to the tree. It was awesome. At one point all 4 were in the same tree. The owlets always together were on one branch looking at me and the parents on another branch also looking at me. Priceless photograph of the entire family. I felt so bless.
    Thank your for this video it brought back all those memories.

      This is illegal unless the person is licensed with their state to raise wild birds. The bird is likely imprinted by humans and will not do well once released. This is wreck less and cruel.

    I think it's amazing that she was able to reproduce. Despite being raised by humans, she still had enough of her basic instincts kick in to mate with a wild male owl and with his help, she successfully found enough food for her fuzzballs to eat. Now those two clutches she and her male mate successfully raised went out into the world to raise their own young. That is truly a success story in my book!

    The owl was very talkative.
    It was an incredible experience.

    the Mighty Mo River I walked up on a huge Great Horned Owl (probably female due to large size) eating a bird she never missed a mouthful , speaking softly I just eased back & away snapping photos, few days later I went back gathered up the remains taking them to a Conservationists ( Game Warden) finding out that her breakfast was a Red Tailed Hawk
    NOTE to left of this comment is one the photos of her as my thumbnail
