I also have raised Great Horned Owls. They are great birds and fun to raise.. Mine were called- Hooter & Harry...raised on raw stew meat and barn mice..they lived for many years..then finally flew away into the wilderness...
Love ,Love it being a night owl myself , a few years back on a early spring Nebraska morning along side the Mighty Mo River I walked up on a huge Great Horned Owl (probably female due to large size) eating a bird she never missed a mouthful , speaking softly I just eased back & away snapping photos, few days later I went back gathered up the remains taking them to a Conservationists ( Game Warden) finding out that her breakfast was a Red Tailed Hawk NOTE to left of this comment is one the photos of her as my thumbnail
OMG, how cute are they!?!?!?! We recently had a baby barred owl in our backyard for about four weeks, The mom and dad owls stayed with baby and brought it food, but baby kept getting skinnier and his feathers were not growing properly, so the local wildlife rescue came and picked him up. We were very vigilant in keeping him safe, and so saddened when the rescue veterinarian made the decision to put him down. He had a previous foot fracture and other issues that would have kept him from flourishing in the wild or in captivity. It was the most exciting four weeks to have that little guy and his parents around!!
Does it matter . The mom was obviously not present and he did a great job keeping them safe , fed and teaching them to take flight so they could live happy in nature . No explanation needed . Great job , this planet could use more people helping animals live when they are abandoned. My husband and I did the same thing however it was not an owl it was a baby Canada goose and they’re incredibly smart and she was so great full . I can happily say she was in great health when we released her back into the wild before she took off for the winter . She was abandoned by her flawk as a baby because she was hurt (attacked by another animal) we took her in and nurses her back to health . She was so happy with us she would sleep in our bed lol if not she would cry all night . We released her when she was grown and able to fly and eat herself . Fully healed and she left for the winter . I love hearing these stories . Great video and great job !
It depends what will be the future of that bird. e.g. if bird is physically OKand she is expected to be returned into the wild, then I do not think it is a good idea to tame it! On the other hand, if it's been damaged and uncapable to live independently, I'd starve the bird (e.g. for 2 days, depends on condition of course) and started to feed it with a titbits from hand until stop taking food and then againe no food for a day or too. Once you notice some sort of acceptance, you may TRY to switch for a smaller amount of food but every day.
I was expecting some crying negative in comments that "" oh that's so dangerous, petting an owl and ifs that great horned, those owl will attack and so"" ..most dangerous being is human, though they are made for bite and attack but they do in a painful way...lol. Loved the video, have a dream to pet a pair of them!
Hi - is it true what Bebe and Webster wrote, that taken as downies from the nest, GHOs not only become ridiculously tame, but they can also develop some really odd personality traits? (quoting them almost verbatim, iirc) THanks!!
+Chester Kitty Hello! If you read Beebe & Webster, you must know what is imprinting. Every raptor taken as a downy can be imprinted and become extremely tame. However, such changes in the mentality of the bird may result in certain problems within the man-bird relationship and (e.g.) in case of redtailed hawks imprinting not recommended at all.
Nothing weird about it, from my perspective. Spending the 2nd half of your life on a piece of paradise with your loved one, spending your retirement years being productive in a rewarding and giving capacity - not to mention having a connection with an amazing animal that in normal circumstances humans would never interact with.. Sounds like intellectual and emotional fulfillment, to me at least.
I LOVE owls, these owlets are adorable. Owls are so different from any other creature, even other birds. They're so special and beautiful.
My favorite thing about owlets has to be their fluffy feather pantlegs
They get them at the Owlet Pantlet Outlet!😎
Wow, what an incredible experience to raise these two owls! It must have been so rewarding.
I also have raised Great Horned Owls. They are great birds and fun to raise.. Mine were called- Hooter & Harry...raised on raw stew meat and barn mice..they lived for many years..then finally flew away into the wilderness...
@@viennehaake9149 the birds were ready to leave the nest so they flew away
Thank you for a great video. Great subject, owls are widely loved and are very interesting.
Ultimate birds.... I love owls
Those talons and big feet.....oh and the big bites.. Thanx Dad for the rescue from the evil ledge!!
for birds of prey OWLS have one of the largest feet and talons, pretty incredible
That was fascinatingly awesome. Thank you very much for sharing this delightful video.

That's so cool! R.K. 2/18/2023.😀😄
The downvotes are probably from people who didn't expect a "first flight" video to open with a certain major feeding event.

How can be there people who dislike this?
They must lose their instincts to prey when being fed?
They look awesome. How fluffy do they actually feel?
Owls are super soft and fluffy to touch!
Hi, where are you from, man? :)
из какого города-региона? :)
What a music. Which is it?? Bimbo jet / tanha shadom
Can you explain why you had them?
probably as falconry birds

Try putting a bran.ch on the porch so they can pratice on and off jumps four inches up.
Cover that table with a carpet! Geesh!
Esa melodía se llama: "El Condor pasa" y es de origen peruano 5:50
Wow.. They eat a lot!! Does anybody knows how much food they consume per day?
+Carlos Prado On average 2 day old chickens or 5 medium size mise
+tokara61 that's impressive, congratulations to you for having such beautiful creatures.
The dead chicks just made me feel terrible...
Ну жрут они - прям "не в себя" :)))
The music they played in The Blue Oyster Bar in Police Academy. 😂
I’m currently assisting one as a rescue. Any tips on how to make his habitat more owl friendly?

Complete musical playlist?

ima get that ball 😅
9:31 - 9:34 bird drops an enormous load during feeding
Owner has an immaculate house so they do some serious cleaning in there
Where are their parents?

+tokara61 thank you for taking the time to reply. best wishes for your success ongoing!
How come he always gets the black one......
Cute birds but not legal to keep as pets where I live.
No les de pollos muy grandes,que chulos me encantan
Sick..you couldn't Just give them cooked chicken ??
Just when you think you have a weird family.
Nothing weird about it, from my perspective.

I know this song pote the se ksexno yiannis parios
Music is like what’s played after hours in a mall when your being chased by a killer.

The first song is what they played in The Blue Oyster Bar in Police Academy 😂
