- A video of imprinting and raising an imprint snowy like from Harry Potter. From 12 days old through to flying free and becoming A flying display bird down at Tattershall Farm Park. Tips on how to care and fly owls for falconry, and equipment and techniques need to make a happy bird...
*I think shes more bonded to the cameraman than anyone at this point*
Yer me to 😂
She makes a sharp, long screech especially for food, and then twitters and warbles when eating. Cute.
this too cute and you're right any creatures take lot time to care for them and given whole attention.
Thanks so much
Snowy owls are so beautiful. Did not realize that they eat a lot! Great video!
wow - this owl is such a smart one and she is so beautiful too..
I never knew baby owls are so vocal. She has a lot to say. 😂
She’s so cute! You all did a good job!
Thanks 🙏
Doing great! She's so cute!
Thanks mate
Damn that owl is noisy. A very beautiful screech but way to vocal. That is the down side of imprinting. You get a very noisy bird. Honestly I thought that only the red tailed hawk made that type of screech. You learn something new every day.
Owls are amongst my favorite birds. I am hoping to get into falconry one day and would love to have one. Though I would likely have a great horned, or maybe a saw-whet if I want something smaller. I could also go for a barn owl. Their plumage is my favorite of the owls, even though their face is nightmare fuel. It would really depend on what I would want to hunt with them and what kind of environment I would do the hunting in. I may even end up with a Harris hawk or peregrine falcon if I can not find good hunting places for owls near me. Honestly I am not that picky on what bird I get. A long as it is a good experience for both me and the bird, any bird would do. Will have to do a lot of research before choosing and I only want to get one bird. I do not think I would want a "starter" bird that eventually gets neglected once I get a preferred one. I would rather choose a bird and stick with it.
Very gorgeous snowy owl
Thanks very much
@@Hawk-riders your welcome
Great video thanks for sharing
Michael Thorn your very welcome mate share like crazy 🙂
My husband and I would love to become falconers as we both have a huge love for owls!
I love how she is in her own way saying "Hello human! I love you!"
Camera guy: You're not supposed to be in there.
Owl: What's yours is mine human!
I no there great arnt they 😂
@@Hawk-riders They really are! I live in Michigan and we have 11 different kinds of owls all over the state. The most common to my area of the state though are the Great Horned, the Eastern Screech, and the Barn Owl, which my husband particularly loves due to their heart shaped face.
Super Video! Vielen Dank dafür 😊 Ich habe seit ein paar Tagen eine 6 Wochen junge Schneeeule und hoffe, dass ich sie genau so gut trainieren kann.
Còn chim quá dễ thương bạn.
Are you not supposed to feed raptors with your hand? I think at that age it should be capable of feeding with food on the ground. On the other hand, I know owls do imprint and react differently than hawks/falcons, used to have a GHO which was sweet, adm did manage to catch a few rats in the park.
Yer that’s true you are not supposed to feed hawks and falcons by hand, but I always feed owls by hand, it just makes a really strong bond when flying them
Such a little cutie pie!! 😘😘😘💟💟💟💋💋💋💋💋💋💋
Thanks 😊
That's cool.
Cheers buddy
I found a baby horn owlett about 3 wks old on the ground with some maggots on it I rescued it clean him up. Now I'm wondering some say I can over feed it and kill it I seen you giving quite a few mice at once will they quit eating when full? I hope I'm not under feeding it. how do you tell boy or girl? Thanks for. any help.
Can't wait
Hope you like it 😮
Oh i did :)
How many mice/rats did you feet it @2:00? Id have imagined they wouldnt receive that much normally?
She was on about 4 to 6 a day if I remember correctly 😀
What do you feed her ?
how to buy snowy owl..?
i love when they are juveniles but have the white face feathers like a mask
what age was she you started flight training with her?
About 16 weeks mate
Excellent video. I want an owl now
Glad you liked it 😃
Where's the glove from? thanks
I realize it is kinda off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream new movies online ?
@Madden Huxley yup, been watching on flixzone for since april myself :)
@Madden Huxley thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I really appreciate it !
@Isaiah Rhys No problem :D
Years late, but how did you handle when she reached sexual maturity? Does she try to court one of her handlers, or attack "rival" humans? Trying to understand how one deals with these issues in owls specifically.
No she’s always been fine and is still flown daily now by different people
Cool, thanks for the reply! @@Hawk-riders
Where do you buy these snowy owl chicks?
From breeders 😃
@@Hawk-riders do you know where you can buy them from? Here in the UK or abroad? I'd like to take up falconry one day and buy one after I'm certified.
Snowy Owl's are mine and my sister's favourites.
Yer There’s loads of centres that breed them. Just give a few a call and see if there breeding this year
@@Hawk-riders thanks so much for your advice.😊

Ur dog looks stoned 😂😂😂
