i'm curious, we have one that hangs around our house. what makes you think this is a juvenile? is there a way to tell? ours looks to be of about the same size as this, but i assumed it was an adult (considering the time of year).
@DeadMan3290 juvie raptors tend to let humans get closer to them, you can almost tell that they are immature. Also feather patterns. Also owls are sexually dimorphic in maturity and their feathers change so if you are having a hard time determining its sex its a bigger possibility that it is young !
@stevenscottoddballz undigestible things like hair and bones are put into the pellet which they cough up, its like a cat's hairball, while the good stuff that is digested gets pooped out! Hawks, crows, and other birds make pellets too!! And I have a family of hawks in a field next to my house (we have been neighbors) I have definatly seen the mother take a massive dump sitting on the street lamp in front of my house!
@MPSecare Aw, COOL! I like raptors! They're fun to see! I get tired of seeing crows & seagulls all the time! - I live in Southern New York Occasionally, I'll see a different bird across the street, & use my binoculars - FALCON! During the warmer months, I have a feeder on my balcony for another RARE visitor - hummingbirds! YEARS &YEARS ago, during the summer, I'd see quite a few blue jays, and on rare occasions, my favorite - cardinals! I haven't seen either of the last 2 birds for a few years.
@stevenscottoddballz ahh I have a handful of ruby throat hummingbird nests in my front yard, excellent! Make sure you keep the nectar fresh, if it ferments the birds can get really sick off of it!
@MPSecare Aw, SWEET! I remember when I was living in Las Vegas. When I went to Church Outreach (visiting those who were new, or haven't been to Church for a while to check on them, to pray...) One visit we made the member came out to meet us, & pointed up in the tree branch just above us. I saw my FIRST hummingbird nest! They're SO cute! SO small! I would LOVE to see the size of the eggs!
Yes, I do know about keeping the nectar fresh. My grandmother taught me about that when I was young. Thanks
Nice vid. I like the B2 Bomber night owl idea. They called the F-117 Stealth Fighter the night hawk, but night hawks feed on insects. Not very scary sounding if you ask me. They should've called it the F-117 Night Terror and used the Great Horned Owl as the official symbol for the bomber group.
why dose the eagle get top billing as the name of a fighter jet?Bald Eagles are dandified buzzards.Nw the owl,thats truly a leathal flying machine.totaly silent in flight,gan fly and see in the dark,low level kill performance,nearly 360 degree head turn,can kill and eat prey the size of a rabbit.yea,owls rule,but eagles are ok
One hunting strategy they use is to use a single loud hoot to flush out prey. Just the sound of their hoot sends small prey into motion. That motion generates sound that is the last sound these animals ever make.
Yes,I wonder who gave owls this "wise"look,true they are smart,but they are very efective killers,in fact,their is one incedence of a Gret Horned Owl,a truly magnifacent bird of prey,killing a human that was messing with its nest.Yes some are truly cute(Sawett,Screech)but they are hardly the kindigarden "give a hoot,dont polute"cartoon.And I know it dosnt sound cool,but how about: F-15 HORNED OWL,or B-2 NIGHT OWL STEALTH BOMBER,just a thought.
If you look at several of my videos you can see the owlets start out white and evolve into the mostly red brown adult plumage.
The direct answer is yes I can tell this is a juvenile because of 1) the light plumage, 2) the way it carries itself (awkward movements) 3) an adult would not eat a meal this close to the house, they are more secretive.
OMG OMG HE IS SOOOO CUTE!!!

I'm curious - I've heard about Owl "bringing up pellets" of the undigested bones. Is this the way they defecate? Or is this something different?
stevenscottoddballz 2 months ago
@stevenscottoddballz Thats a good question.
I am no expert, but the way i understand it, their plumbing is very different from ours.
They only have one outlet, it it produces a wet product, that is mostly liquid.
Solids are removed in the stomach and coughed up as pellets. Bones, feathers, bits of fur, shells from crabs, all must come up.
After typing the above i found owlpages dot com has a great page. Google 'owl digestion'
A much more detailed and reliable source.
