A Little Owl's Work Is Never Done

May 27, 2009: The owlets are rapidly growing and their parents are constantly bringing them prey. The owlets eat whole prey now, and you can see the end of the tails go down last. Turn up your sound to hear their squeals of delight when food is delivered!

This video was filmed around 1 AM, Netherlands time. The nestbox is actually dark, but the camera has an infrared light. So keep in mind that the owlets probably can't see each other or their parents at night. They find each other through their superb hearing,
