BARN OWL (OWLET) Dying Part I (Very Sad - HUGO DIED APRIL 11

IF YOU WANT PART II go to http://s202.photobucket.com/albums/aa203/soph9_photos/WA%20Owls/?action=view&...
PART II won't convert for some reason!
I watch a Barn Owls nest in Washington State via live streaming cam. On April 4th the first owlet died, last night another let died and the third is dying as I type. I think the nest is contaminated and there must be a parasite infection that is killing them all. BEWARE this is sad to see and there will be more parts. I feel it is educational to publish!

@shoona101films it's nature and not my nextbox. plus, this was from 3 years ago and the cam owners stated they would never interfere with what happened in this box

Im a 17 yr old male and i cried to this,i love barn owls and this is brutal. That mother or father should be put down, right away.

@MedicalKiller212clan why is you name medicalKiller?

Words like traumatized are a little out there. Parents are upset when their offspring die and it effects them but you sound like they carry long term scarring from it which i've only seen in humans which through many generations of breeding have issues with death and letting go, nature is nature. i don't expect to be helped when i'm sick. if i die i die. On the other hand i'm not that ok with being buried in a box. Just because we can stop the plague and heart attacks doesn't mean we should.

@TheEbonchi well hopefully if you got that sick you would go to a hospital but I get your point.

It's a damn shame, but this kind of thing happens often in nature. None of us like to see it, but it is part of the natural cycle. It brought tears to my eyes, but I know it is an all too real occurrence in nature.

ok dude calm down the worst stupid excuse of human kind has been "lets put this poor animal out of misery"...Thats like giving up on it....If you were wounded walking around I bet you wouldn't be saying kill me please it hurts me...Just think I bet all the animals put out of misery Most didn't even wanna get killed they just want to be left alone in peace

[jomill78]

ok so get up off your @ss and help the last owl out, sted of just standing there watching it cry for help.......

to us nature is sometimes "cruel" and its very hard to watch but nature is simply that ..nature. Man it sucks at times for us animal lovers tho - we just want to see the big happy family version all the time

The mother killed the owlets!! Sometimes the mother gets disturbed by something and rejects the owlets. She then sees her owlets as pests and enemies and attacks them. That's why she is just standing there. I know it's sad but this is nature.
