    It does not surprise me that Yanis has achieved 'star' status in your channel. He seems a nice bloke, hard worker, willing to learn and what's more adept at learning as his plastering skills blossomed. I really hope Alex gets his 5000 as I would love to learn more about Yanis, both young chaps deserve a bit of recognition.

    Owls in France:
    Clay owls
    Long-eared owls

    • @heidit8009

      Yes it does look fully grown. It must be looking fir a burrow or nesting sire. Perhaps the other owl is a mate.

  • @tomfrank9447
    @tomfrank9447 Před 4 dny +7

    So if you ask me, I would say that this bird may be a young animal, but it is already fledged. His plumage no longer looks like that of a nestling ... I think that is more of a full -grown bird ... a dwarf ear owl, they don't get bigger than 20cm and are also native to France ... but only in summer. They hibernate in Africa.

  • @AndreatheDoria

  • @tonyatippetts2316

    The owl is not a baby owl it’s a little owl - Athene noctua - maybe not a typical place to live in a piping system. Normally they live in tree holes or in caves in ruins or as in your case in the rain piping system. Be happy to have such as inhabitants

  • @josephrockers7697
    @josephrockers7697 Před 4 dny +7

    As you were doing your introduction, I realized that you probably do the same thing as I do, and that is to process ideas externally. Some people process their thinking internally, which means a person should take what they say as their final decision, whereas, those of us who process externally are always bouncing ideas off others before making a decision. For us, people should take the last thing we say as our decision. If you know how a person processes information and ideas, you will not be frustrated when some of us change our minds (sometimes very often).

  • @liseboyd1014
    @liseboyd1014 Před 4 dny +6

    Hmmm Burrowing owls are quite small. We have them here in west Texas. They live along side the prairie dogs. If that’s what this one is, it may be an adult. An ornithologist would know for sure.

    Please keep the owl, it will help with any pests in the convent, maybe make a little hole for the owl to stay in(it looks like a burrow owl but haven't watched the video all the way through yet). Barn owls have different markings and burrowing owls are small like that when they're fully grown. Screech owls have little tufts and are grey in color.

    • @rosieburton3558

      Burrowing owls aren't a species native to Europe, they're only found in north and South America. But we do have a species that looks very similar called a Little Owl and they're not a borrowing creature and in fact like to live around farm land and small woodland areas. It might also be a eurasian pygmy owl 👍
