"She flew into a tree--"
"SKREEEE" ("YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T TELL THEM ABOUT THAT!")
Your bond with your owl is precious. I enjoy watching and learning about barn owls. All pets have to sacrifice some freedom to some extent when adopted. You give your owl a very quality life. He doesn't go hungry or accidentally fly into automobiles. He isn't prey himself and therefore will most likely live a lot longer life in your good hands. Thanks for sharing information about your magnificent creature!
I don't even want an owl but i'm really enjoying learning about raising an owl. I love how frank you are.
"Will my owl fly away?"
"Yes...it's an owl" XD
I agree with you 💯. The only reason some dogs don't take off is because they don't have wings, lol. My sis has a weiny dog and he is spoiled after her, she can't go anywhere that he don't grieve for her the whole time and will sometimes sit and bowl for her, lol. But the minute she sit him down outside without a leash, he's gone and you have to roam the neighborhood for him. If he had wings like Lookie?? she'd never see him again. Yal beautiful as ever, always in my prayers. Tyfs, God bless yal
I guess many people just don't think about the fact that falconry is actually a very old thing, even if dogs have been with humans longer. And people tend to forget that bred owls (and probably other birds) are actually pretty helpless in the wild - and that they aren't doing them any favour at all in setting them "free".
I just love watching Lookie, sitting on your hand so calmly and looking around, interested in everything... just like my Kenzo. I let Kenzo fly around the house freely every day for a while and he loves exploring. They are such special animals, makes my heart warm 💖
spoken like a veteran in her arts... no sugar coating, just the truth. beautiful bird u got there.. thanks for the advice, my greyish eagle owl will stay on the line.
I was lucky enough to be allowed to volunteer at a sanctuary which specialised in Birds of Prey when I was younger. It's amazing how often you encounter people who really think that the birds would be better off flying free all day.
Though these people mean well, once you learn about these animals, you quickly find out that they're really, really, lazy, and don't much like flying if they can help it! It's such a tremendous amount of energy for a large bird to keep in the air, that they tend to only fly to hunt in the wild, otherwise they roost. A home with people who love and understand them, and where they are guaranteed their meals is anything but cruel :)
Lookie is amazing. It's wonderful to see the bond the two of you have. After seeing your success with her, I'm deeply tempted to think about taking up Falconry again.
I'm so glad you posted this! FINALLY! Someone with BRAINS haha!
Please do! It would be great to read it! :)
Keep up the great content, we're huge fans of you guys in this household :)
Vegan Hippie can you let me know as of tomorrow I am looking after a snowey owl(12 months old) for a couple of weeks and then a turkamanian eagle owl(only a chick) for a few weeks
I'm sorry I didn't understand your question?
My question was please let me know when you release it,first part of the E book as I would like to read it
Have been watching your videos for a few days now since a friend found one under their mango tree.
A couple of days ago, they just decided to put that basket atop The tree and let the parents take care of it. It's on a tree just beside their house so they could still see the baby owl. Every now and then, an adult owl or two comes to feed it
Omg I just found this channel this is amazing I've loved barned owls my whole life this is so nice I would love to see a video of you going on walks with your owl
A very important message - thank you for making this video! I'm enjoying your vids very much. I don't have an owl, and may never have one, but find this very interesting and enjoyable - thanks!!
Owners let their Parrots, Eagles etc. to fly free after good training for so long. What's the difference with owls?
I appreciate your honesty!!
Does letting your owl fly inside, count as flying it every day? Or should you take it outside anyway every day
This helps alot. Thank you. :) I plan to own my own owl in a few years. Right now I'm doing falconry training.
good luck :)
What a Beautiful amazing creature 👍👍😊
i was just gifted with an owl that looks like a cross between a Verreux Eagle owl and and African Barred wood owl-any care suggestions-it is still young
My cat has free will but he still comes home from the woods every couple of days. Not for foid either as he feeds himself. Mostly rabbits and squirrels. Maybe an owl wants to be free to fly. My cat also wants to be free and he is by no means domesticated but yet very smart. He is no lap cat but I love him. We live independant lives that cross quite often.
So you are friends with the wild cat, its not your pet then
Hello ... Iam from kuwait and I have barn owl same ur looki I name it Ariya thanx for ur explanation about ur owl ... but I want to ask question !! My owl have very bad smell from her mouth from fiddling small birds how can I make her mouth smell good !!!
Hi Vegan does the feeding of fish oil after a meal to a barn owl of age (1-2) months is needed?
My friend says it's good for her feathers, is that right?
It's not bad but captive owls don't need supplements at all as long as you're giving them the proper nutrition such as one day old chicks, mice and rats. I have supplemented Lookie once but there's actually no need to do so. If you WANT to do it, go ahead but in my opinion it's unnecessary. :-)
I do not own a owl because I just don't have the time but I do love them and I love watching your video's. If your ever in Jacksonville Florida I would love to meet you and looky.
I'm thinking about getting a barn owl would you say they are good in the house with a perch and how long do they take to grow
US or UK?
Love this channel
My barn owl escaped a couple times then come back via the bedroom window about midnight. Once it went into the wrong bedroom of a house two doors down. I had to go and get him. He was sitting on top of their wardrobe. He always came back.
love this video.
I know is a very old video but TH-cam recommended it to me and maybe someone still read the comments. It's not true that an owl raised among humans just flies away. I raised a spotted owlet (Athene brama) and she is free all the time. She go in our garden and when she feel sleepy or something scary her when she is outside than she come back in our house. She get food from me but she can also hunt by her self.
i want an owl to keep away pest birds around my house. and i want him to just roam around my house and neighborhood lol
Now if only owls could be litter box trained. Thanks for the video!
I wonder if Lookie would back via "dog door" or open window? Some birds do this. I wonder if Lookie would always find the way back home?
Can you help with a barred owl
Wow ur amazing🖤
little baby!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭 wwahhhh 😭😭😭😩😩😩😭😭😭❤️❤️
Well said
what are those bump's on Lookies feathers they don't seem to bother her in the least but that could just be way her feathers are.

Hi Elke, I hope you and Lookie are doing great. I watched your video but I would like to ask if an unsecured owl flies away, WILL THE OWL COME BACK HOME WHEN HUNGRY FOR FOOD? Thank you for your fantastic video and enjoy a lovely Christmas and New Year 🤗
Hey Nawaz, I will make a video answering your question soon. I only responded now because your comment got into the spam-box but I approved it so... You'll see a video appearing about it soon! Stay tuned! ;-)
Vegan Hippie Thank y🤗u Elke 😊 I have become educated on Barn Owl 🦉 and will become a subscribed Patron member because your videos are FIRST CLASS
The only thing that is animal abuse is releasing a captive-bred owl.
Would it be possible to directly ask you some questions about keeping an owl? I could really do with some help...
I'm looking into getting a great horned owl. However from what I've read online many say that owls HAVE to have an aviary... whereas I see that you have yours on a perch in your room. Is this possible with a great horned owl?
Sure: I do coachings through email (elke.emmermann@telenet.be). I ask 2 euros for one coaching mail. So it could be a mail with a bunch of your questions that I will answer thouroughly OR you could just give me a topic you wanna know more about OR you could send me a mail with all of your troubles that I can resolve for you. Just let me know. I work with paypal so I'll send you a payment request for 2 euros and the moment you've accepted it, I'll answer your mail. :-)
Vegan Hippie thank you! I have sent an email 😊
you both are so sweet
Considering I fly a range of owls including 4 barn owls and none have flown away your talking out your arse
Hi, a friend got a 2 weeks old barn owl, how much he feed her? And how many times a day??
For coaching please contact me at elke.emmermann@telenet.be
Vegan Hippie ok, thank you
Vegan Hippie ... e-mail sent
Great! I responded :-)
if lookie see a rial mouse or a live 1day old check would she try cash it and eat it
No she would be like "WTF is that thing?" haha
What about free flying ? I mean parrots can free fly even without a leash n they come back
Nice nice nice nice beautiful
I'm 13 and I still haven't received my Hogwart's letter. Too bad.
I have a owl book
You can teach a barn owl to hunt no problem, some Falconry abatement falconers have theirs chasing and caching pigeons. operant condition they can be trained to free fly reliably. You just need to make sure you know when it’s full. They are not domesticated the same as dogs, dogs have selective breeding. Owls couldn’t be more then a couple generations from the wild. A wild taken owl that is imprinted will be the same as a captive bred imprinted owl
Thank you for teaching us so much about captive owls. Living in Japan, where the notorious "owl cafés" exist and have gotten a lot of negative opinions from everywhere else, I'm glad you can give some insight as to why some of the things that they do aren't as bad as they look. I mean, there are a few mistreatments in lower places, but by and large, they do take care of them very well.
Vegan Hippie please help me save an owl it is exactly the same like lookie same color same height everything is similar ... i found it last night in the middle of highway it wasnt moving at all ... just sleeping n looking downwards and it was raining heavily i got off my bike and hold it in my jacket .. it did not move or resist and his neck was hanging .. i put it in a box and took it to a vet, he gave it vitamin drops and said he is fine but needs some care.. i dont think the vet had any experience on treating owls .. in india owls are smuggled and sold for rituals in black market i dont want to put it in a govt hospital where it would be sold or ignored since we dont have any private hospitals for animals
Its in my room right now ... it tries to fly sometimes but it cant and falls down im afraid cats or dogs would eat him if i let him outside ... ive tried feeding him chicken pieces, small fish, prawns, etc but he doesnt eat anything .. im trying to get chick or mice for him but i couldnt find ... please advice
Oh no how sad... :-( Have you checked if any of the wings is broken? And the legs? But if the vet said he's fine... Then he could also be suffering from a disease like aspergillosis and in that case he needs the proper medicine and even THEN he's still likely to die. How much does he currently weigh? Anything under 270 grams is really bad! You need to find the proper food for him which is one day old chicks or mice, baby mice, baby rats. If they don't sell frozen mice or rats in your country, can you maybe buy domesticated mice and kill them yourself? Because you can NOT give regular chicken or other meat to this owl because then it will surely die. There aren't enough nutrients in the regular meat and the stomach of an owl can't handle this kind of meat we eat. Give it water. Barn owls normally don't drink except when they're hurt. But stay with the owl so that it can't drown. Put the owl in a dark, warm environment like a carton box with the flaps of the box closed and some towels in the box.
Vegan Hippie thank you for replying eversince i found it ive been watching your videos and trying to contact you .. ive kept it in a big cage so he could stretch his wings and move he wieghts 300+ and looks exactly the same like lookie in height and body since today morning he is pretty active and biting his beak, stretching his wings, trying to come out of the cage, but no noise ... after doing some search i found a private ngo and a vet for birds, i will check with her tomorrow and if she says its fine then will release him in the wild
300+ grams is REALLY good for a bird that comes from the wild! And if it's trying to come out of the cage, it probably is fine. It might not except the food you offer it because it's not used to eating dead meat. It's used to hunting. Pure instinct... :-)
Why can't domasticated Owl hunt ? Do their parent teach them in the wild ? I thought they just left nest when they felt secure enough and learned on their own.
The wild mice can spread disease to domestic ones
@@oliverholland6512 thx for your answer, made me rewatch the video ^^
Elke, why is training an owl "falconry"? Bests to you and Lookie
How about you have her little chicks back home and you know she has to come back to them?
Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
lookie xxxxxx
In the USA we need to have a license and take a test to own and care for a bird of prey. These animals have special diets and require a lot of attention and care, so if you do want to pursue falconry, you need to realize the time and care involved. My brother had a special house and the food requirements were such that it can become quite costly. He owned a Red tail hawk and became familiar with others in our area, along with those outside our area that were also into falconry, so it's a consuming hobby that requires a great deal of passion for these birds. They are a wild animal and with all wildlife, it's important to respect them and not treat them like they were pets. This owl is amazing, but it is a wild animal and should be treated as such.
Falconry- the pursuit of wild game with a bird of prey.
What you are doing is not falconry and what you hold in your hand is still a wild animal. You say keeping an owl is similar to a dog because ppl have been breeding them “for years and years”. Flying owls for falconry, keeping them as pets, and breeding owls is still a very new concept. Did a few ppl have owls in the last 4 thousand years that falconry has existed? Sure, but the majority of them were wild caught or taken from the nest. Owls in general were so rarely used because they are among the worst birds of prey to use to catch wild game. Breeding has become more regular only in the last 100 years. Dogs have been kept and bred by humans for over 12 thousand years. That’s 3x older than falconry itself. I know you mean well but if a person can not get the basics of weight management and recall they should not own a bird of prey. In my opinion birds of prey should never be kept as pets.

Vegan Hippie
you should call me on my google hangout bring with your barn owl i want to see it
YOU ARE WRONG I HAD AN OWL WHEN I LIVED IN MORROCO AND SHE ALWAYS CAME BACK 2 ME !

Let her go and find out!!!?,,,,
Newsflash: Animals don't have free will.
i saw a movie long time ago and final coclusion was: i thought i was unhappy because i was fat but i was fat because i was unhappy. do something that make u happyer (maybe just a little bit if not happyest) like ride your bike somewhere nice, help animals in a sanctuary - they know what you're doing for them, something... and you're gonna be ok. don't give a f*ck about what people are saying about you on the street - it's in your mind. in fact nobody knows that you exist ;-))))
ips - it was for your other video - the one before this 😁😁😁
I vlieg mijn uil los met een zender
What your doing is not Falconry, Falconry is the training and hunting with birds of prey which requires you first to train yourself and perfect your skills so that you can train and fly your birds FREE without being tethered as birds of prey should not be kept as pets by untrained people. In most countries you have to do an apprenticeship and have a license so that you know what your doing..and get inspected every year by a government body to insure that you are keeping your housing, equipment and birds in good condition. This is good because it prevents birds of prey from falling into the hands of incompetent people and becoming a problem like dogs cats horses and other animals do as they are unregulated.
I’m so glad I’m not the only falconer seeing this and having a problem with it... it’s not that hard to free fly an imprinted barn owl, you just have to actually do your research 🙃
Im cringing
YES IT IS ABUSE
I think you have a good opinion. It is not the question of animal abuse. When we hold animals, and we hold them with love and care, they might not have the life, they would had in the wild, but their life is different and is good as well. The animals live with us, they get to know us, trust us, they enyou pedding and beeing around with us. Why shoud this be a bad life?
By the way, do we humans have a natural life in freedom? With all the danger, hunger and cold in the wild winter? Do we want this? For beeing free? We are not free either, but I think, most of us would not want to give up the savey and comfort?
Keeping animals is so deep inside of human beeing, it makes life so much richer and everyone should decide for himself what kind of an animal to have, without people niggeling, that this would not be species-appropriate or so.
No animal with wings should be held captive
That's ok, pretty much all animals without wings ARE held captive ;-)
Fuck you peta member
Hello vegan hippie I am planning on buying an owl can you please give me some tips on owls.
Wtf? Bred owls don t Hunt anymoe?
Moral of the story, leave owls in the wild, where they belong. Go see them at places where they are cared for properly.
Dogs choose to be domesticated though 😉
Can you train the owl to go to toilet ?
Owls aren't domesticated that's not an opinion that's a fact.
words escape me, her channel hurts my brain 🤦♂️
Lie, dirty lie
I'd say fuck it!!!
If the owl is not loyal enough to come back to me despite the so called bond...
then maybe it deserves to be free and
experience life on it's own terms including the dangers.
If you take your dog out wo a leash it might run away albeit not because of its dislike for you, but for the fact that it’s an animal and it can’t comprehend our thought/mindset
Joel Malin i wouldnt lol
Comparing an owl to a dog isnt really fair. Owls have not been bred to be obedient companions, dogs have. This is part of why you can have a dog, not leash it, and it wont run away. i have had dogs who never needed to be leashed, could let them run far off, and with a single call would come back every single time
what? the fact that its a wild animal?
if you could give it a happy life would that be worse than it being in the wild?
Corry Tuskey dude I know plenty of dogs that would just take off. And besides, the principle applies whether or not you decide to take my analogy literally or not, which it shouldn’t have been.
Pet dogs run in the park, in the back yard, in the house..
Pet owls fly... in his mind.
u give true falconers verry bad name
It is animal abuse and tying it is not free will. I don't like anyone owns an owl. Sorry not cute.
Fuck you peta member
@@abyss8190 hmm, tantrum, hurling insults on social media to get a reaction... is sooo 2018, yawn. I'm gonna go watch a movie now and enjoy the rest of my day.
Human: such a shame pet owls can't fly free.
Owl (of an arm taking it for a walk): a FLYING PERCH? And all I have to do is sit here and enjoy?! What is this luxury/witchcraft???
, there are plenty of good female falconers that I fully respect... it's the fact that she seems to have very limited knowledge herself, but is putting out these 'educational' videos that show bad practice that makes uncomfortable viewing
I’m cringing so much just watching
@@Toothandtalon sickening
let it go... That bird need to find a mate and have a babies..
Stefan Domovski she would die in the wild
jacthing1 she wouldn't! She has her wild instincts!
to hunt she has to be taught by a owl
jacthing1 actually that incorrect I'm a falconer myself every bird of prey learns how to hunt on their own lookies perfectly fine
Stefan Domovski it's domesticated. It would die.
don,t use make up. You,r so beautiful without, and with your beautiful animal and all. I would have liked it if it was coming back to you in a short time. As my rats do. So you could give it some exercise.
