- Hi there you huge human bundles of kindness! ;-)
This is a video I made especially for UPE Assignment (subscriber) because he requested a video on how your owl could die the first days you bring it home and how to make your house owl proof. I hope this answers your questions and if you have any video suggestions, don't hesitate to comment. :-) I'll be making more 'emotional' videos like the one called 'Another barn owl video: what's a soulmate?' I made a few weeks ago. If it's not an informative video but an emotional or 'artsy' one as I like to call them, I'll always put 'Another barn owl video' in the beginning of the title. Let me know in the comments what you think of this idea. :-)
Take care and don't forget that I love you guys and really appreciate your comments and support!
Even thought I don't plan on getting an owl. This video was amazingly insightful at owl ownership. I really love your content and effort into videos! Thank you for the great video!
If you wanted to know anything about Owls...I dont think you can find a more detailed and most informative Any where else.

It sounds so cute to have a little blanket or teddy for your little baby owl
I had a pair of barn owls because someone found them and couldn't take it back to their nest. Here the wildlife authorities used to be trashy and they said they couldn't do something, so I decided to take care of them at 15 years old, my parents helped and supported me, but one of the baby owls died at days, and the other one at months, now watching your vids I can spot my mistakes, I guess I did some things fine using logics, but was sad that they died, I was so sad for that :(
Hey, don't blame yourself. You couldn't possibly know all of this stuff and it's not like you bought an owl without having the knowledge and then it died. You were in this situation because you're a good person and wanted to help the animals. If this were to happen ever again, you would succeed. Please don't blame yourself. I understand that you were sad ofcourse. Much love from Belgium!
Vegan Hippie I'm literally in her exact situation right now I'm 15 yrs old
Except it's just one 3-5 week barn owl
have you figured out what to feed it?
Grecia Jimena Ramírez Michel :(
I believe its called a "perch" in English. that's just what everyone calls the things birds sit on or its used to describe someone "perched" somewhere. like batman is perched on a ledge etc. but your English is great I had no idea English wasn't your birth/native language when I first found your videos.
Thank you for explaining! I found out about the "perch" word when another subbie commented and used the word in his comment hehe. But now I'm sure ;-) CZcams is teaching me so much hehe!
I'm happy to help! English can be weird and a lot of people have trouble with it. even people who spend their whole lives in America speaking only English can't get it right.

Hello! Thanks so much for making this video. Some parts made me really nervous, like causing the owl to bleed to death if we accidentally pluck the pin feathers, or breaking its leg if we attach the bracelet wrongly. OMG 😱 I think i'll just watch more of your videos with Lookie, maybe I get myself a bunny instead. I rescued a baby bird before. It slept with me for 3 days. Then I passed it to someone who's very good with bird but it died the next day! I couldn't stop crying...
I'm glad you realize it's not as easy as it seems. If having an owl is really your dream and having owls is legal in your country, then I'm sure there are also falconers in your region and I would suggest you save your money for the education and then you can have your dream. :-) Nothing is impossible. I'll definately keep making more videos as well informative as 'artsy' (aka emotional) ones. Have a super nice day and talk to ya soon ;-)
I am watching all of your videos on Lookie. I love owls and have always wanted one but was too afraid I'd hurt it by not knowing the correct way to raise and handle one. But I am getting my owl fix by watching your videos. Keep them coming; we love these teaching videos. Also, "draft" is the correct word in English for cold air blowing in from the outdoors that make us sick. Yes. This is correct; you have it right.
This video is so helpful. I didnt know about that blanket. So i will gave it to her right away. You have another subscriber here. Keep doing great job with this kind of videos. Big fan here. ;)
I really want to have pet owl.......but I already have 4 cats :P
LOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Vegan Hippie I have a pet barn owl 2
My name is Poon the Cat same i want a pet owl
My name is Poon the Cat I also have cats and want a an owl, I love cats and owls!
Thank you so much for your educational videos. Great information 😊
Love your videos.I’m getting an owl in September.I had one a few years ago
Love the videos great work
Hello, to that tutorial part of putting a blanket/Teddy Bear/Plushie, I would improve it a bit with washing it with specialized chemistry used to wash clothes for babies, and making it absorb your scent (rub your sweat, or something), so it has way higher chances to recognize you as its parent.
Thank u for information, because I rescued an owl and now I need guideline to keep owl as pet
Thanks for your video it was very educational much love bless ❤️
how informative!
Ik ga er van uit dat je Nederlands bent
Waar heb je de Springel gekocht en hoe heb je je prachtige kerk uil die schoentjes aan gekregen
(Ik wil zelf namelijk ook een uil maar ik snap nog niet alles helemaal)
En hoeveel en wat geef je hem te eten
En mag een uil gewoon rauwe biefstuk kip en vis?
Where can I buy a bird standing perch? I've looked everywhere in most pet stores but none that seem safe or large enough for two burrowing owls?
Is it possible for one of the growing feathers to break while it's jumping around and trying to get out of the box?
When you owl is an adult do you have to still feel their stomach when feeding them and do you still have to hold them by the stomach if not where and how.
Ty for all ur video Gb ur beautiful owl .would love one .bye shalom...ur teaching are wonderful Ty again
Wow..they are just like us❤️
I love owls
Your owl is so pretty
Hehe, thank you! I got lucky, you never know in advance how they're gonna turn out :-D

Thank you for your great video.
Hi, we have just found a baby owl , can you advice us please on what we can give it to eat?
Hai, I got a mottled owl 🦉, a semi adult one,...it has got some injury on its left wing due to the attack of the crows at a mid day time, and the owl arrived accidentally at my house yard and I rescued it somehow, please tell me how to care it properly...
Hello ma'am

Good job.
Lookie sure is beautiful.
I have a 3 week old barn owl and it has a drooping wing what do I do? Or what does that mean? It’s not bleeding
Plzz i need your help ... my oul dont eat anything from 2 days , im so scared whaat should i do to make her eating pllzzz
what should we do if the owl is not eating and getting weak. plz tell me i am so worried about him
hi there how do you prepare a mouse for an owlet ?
Hi miss your videos are really awesome and helpful.
But you know there is no mentor for owls what should I do?
And is it good to keep a baby owl or grown owl?
Lookie is so cute I have a few questions what age do you recommend getting an owl and are they loud and do they die easily and if it gets a cold when it’s grown is it still lethal(dangerous) and are they good family pets pls answer I love your channel
i love your owl!
Oh thank u so much!!
Hello I was wondering if you put the barn owl on the bow and connected it to the jesses if the owl try's to fly off would it pull the bow over
It doesn't pull the bow over because it's heavy enough :-). The larger the bird, the larger your bow is gonna be :-)
Is the blanket/teddy bear only needed if it didn't imprint on you and it replaces the mother, is it just to keep them company and content while their alone, or if the owlet imprinted on you it wouldn't need it. if it's the answer's one of the first two, would a plush owl work for a teddy bear?
No it's needed even if it did imprint on you. Lookie imprinted on me and still needed it. A plush owl is great!
I have a baby owl and i fed him pieces of chicken breast when i felt his belly and theres only bones should i feed him More?
The stand you showed at the of the video is called a springul ?
Correct me I spelled it wrong please , I’m goin to order one
This is a dumb question but do you put holes in the lid
how maby times they in a day fir baby owl and how many for a big owl??
Taking care of a little owls is scary stuff but I am determined to keep him alive.
Thank you for the explanation! The only chicks I've ever raised were chickens which are much hardier birds. Thank you for the information , seeing as it gives a basic handle for what you'll need to learn from your falconer. I'd love to get a barn owl, but I'm curious if they're the 'easier' (I know that no animal is 'easy', some are just more difficult to raise than others) birds? I think in another video you said a man bought two snowies without realizing that they're the most difficult owl to raise; what are the more difficult owls to handle? Thank you, and have a good day the both of ya!
Barn owls are the easiest to keep and to handle so if you want a bird of prey, these are the smartest choice for your first owl. The little owl is also not difficult to keep but has a very stubborn character and stays rather shy. So I wouldn't recommend that. Eagle-owls are also not for beginners as they are really big and dangerous. They become as tame as Lookie BUT the difference is: if I make a mistake with Lookie, it's not deadly for me, if you make a mistake in raising an eagle-owl or a mistake as you're flying your eagle-owl, you can get seriously hurt. Hope this helps?
It does. thank you very much!
My owl had recently fallen asleep standing up, in the middle of Brancher's age. Is it okay to sleep on the bow perch? I'm afraid he will fall...
i got one ask how take care of owls????!!! como sê cuida de corujas quando espaço é comida elas precisam?????!!!!!
Where do I get the bow and can I buy one off of Amazon
Falconry is the best and oldest training for birds of prey. There is a ton of information and one should research and keep learning about these flying reptiles.
What did you feed her when she was 3 days old?I have little owl that is same age as when you get yours.Till now i give to her chicken meat .I m feeding on 1h
thank you so much.
Where do you buy these owl supplies?
what to feed a 2/3 months baby owl?
Falconer is lowkey an epic title to have.
Your english is just fine.
very informative. someone just brought me a 10 day old owl chick. knowing to feel the belly to see if they are full is SOO helpful. I work with exotic birds and their crop (belly) is higher up on the chest.
can youtell me what to feed a 10 day old? I gave it chop meat.
If it's a barn owl, don't give it normal meat. Give it one day old chicks or mice and baby mice and baby rats. Don't give the hair and bones but only the flesh and organs because the 21st days of their lives, they can't make pellets yet.
Your english is very good.
The English name Springal is a Bow Perch.
I have 5 years experience with Hawks and Falcons, Owls are a new Frontier for me but it sounds like most of the same rules apply.
What if mice and chick meat isnt available?Can I feed them with small pieces of meat?Pork to be definite.
Pet stores have frozen rat and mice babies. Also you can order frozen baby day old chicks for delivery.
how did you train lookie to come to the glove?
+ Jacob Sid
She has a separate video on that.
I have a burn owl like u, but always she mekes noise , sounds like kot kot kot , I don't understand what I do🥺
were should you get a baby barn owl
Can you give an eastern screech owl poultry vetRX?
Thank you for this video!
And i think there are no word in english language for what you call draft :D i know what you mean i Serbian we say "promaja" for that mysterios thing that kills
Why do you have to put the owl in the container with the lid on it ?
Informative video for me I have 2 owl baby
waar heb je die springel gekocht als ik vragen mag?
Online bij Real Falcon (Nederland)
Hii.... I have a sem owl but she don't eat eni food. So I am so sad ... Plzz help me
Lookie seemed to go into a defensive pose when you petted her belly and between her legs. I'm guessing owls don't like that, so you need to be very quick as to not disturb them too much? Or was she just trying to reposition herself without falling?
Edit: and by pet, I mean check if they're full .-.
It's not necessarily that she didn't like it but more that she was very active when I was making the video and she didn't wanna stay on the glove, she wanted to fly around but I cut that out ofcours :-). That's why she was moving so much. You little owl will totally allow you to feel her belly :-)
Ah, okay. Thanks. I've just always been in love with owls my entire life and felt a bit of a connection, especially with Barn Owls. I want to know as much as I can before I even consider scrounging up enough money to visit a falconer (owler?) to learn more and attempt to befriend one though, so this is really helpful. ^-^
Such beautiful beings, though. 😍
*and make sure I'm mentally prepared to take care of an owl
Courtney Harrington I feel the exact same way about barn owls. 😍😍😘😘😙😙😚😚
The "bow" to which you refer, is a bow-shaped, self-standing perch [9:12 ]:-)
I've been a bird lover for *years* and have done my research every single day. I wanted to get a parrot for a long time. But my parents hate their screech since my whole family prefer a quiet home.
And ever since I've found owls, I'm thinking of getting one. But I'm afraid that in the future when i get an owl, I won't be able to give it the attention it needs (birds are attention seekers but they're just SOO sweet and always melt my heart)
Do u have any tips for that?
I'm not a professional but if you can't give your bid the amount of attention they need if recommend getting a pair of possible so they can entertain each other but with two it will be harder to bond and train them than if you had one is still possible though this is for parrots not sure about owls
How can we feed a baby and and what should we feed a baby owl ???
Is it good to feed Owl with Crickets?
uhhhhhh so cute
I found an owl under a tree and I brought it home for it not to be killed by dogs or cats.I have been feeding it chicken wings WITH the bones mushed up. it is the third day at my home and for some reason it doesn't want to stand up. Every time I try to feed it, it sits on the table, rather than standing up like it did the first day I brought it home. when I try to make it stand up it just sits again on the table. The first 2 days I had it, it was very energetic and , at night, it jumped out of the box I have it and started wandering around the house. Now it seems very depressed and tired. send help
Λογοπαίγνια ΑΕ what happened? Next time you find a wild animal. Find a wildlife rehabilitation center.
Where do I get a baby owl?
Here in my town there’s no specialist … I just rescue a baby owl is too little and I’m afraid of not doing it well … today he didn’t wanted to eat
My owl poops a lot, how can I deal with this? How can I hold it? How to put her leather shoes
Please help me out i found a baby owl under a tree today n it is so little that it cannot open its eyes yet ....if you find my message please help me m afraid that it would die
I found an owl as big as Lookie and its wounded. I treated the owl and i cannot feed right now because i am scared it will bite me. I want to form a bond with him
If its a wild owl I doubt you will form a bond with it sorry. I’m glad you are trying to look after it
Sounds like all kinds of nope ...question : does he exhibit intelligence? I’ve seen a few videos that say they aren’t very smart or responsive to learning
ah you from???!! you have others species of owls or you have Just barn owls???!!!!!!! ☆☆☆☆thk so much for your Video
I also used to have a Little Owl but it passed away. I'm from Belgium. :-)
Vegan Hippie Cool my father is from Eten Leur noord Brabant Netherlands.
so cool i have a owl too its a baby
My owl doesn't stand on my hand it stands on my head i don't know why
i cant stop looking at the video thubnail for some reason...
I jst got an baby owl, my frn killed the mother owl when we were out hunting, I told not to shoot the owl because I knw she has baby owl. We separated for hunting, tn he killed the mother owl without the knowledge of me n now I've adopted the baby owl. Thanks for the video
can you save the baby owl from bleeding out if a feather pin broke, or is it inevitable that they will die? or what about other types of birds that are good for beginners besides owls?
Yes you can, there's a medicin for it but I didn't have it around the house. I guess a parakeet would also be for beginners? Or do you only mean birds of prey? Owls aren't REALLY birds of prey because they don't have crops. But I call them birds of prey to point out that they can still be dangerous and need a lot of care. If you want a bird of prey, owls are the easiest. Especially barn owls, little owls and rufous-legged owls.
Vegan Hippie birds of prey, thanks for the reply.
If you haven’t got hemistop (blood stopping powder) in your home, regular wheat flour will do in a pinch! It will make the blood stop at the wound so that more blood will not spurt out.
Birds have a very small blood volume to begin with, so it’s really important to do this as fast as possible if there’s an actively bleeding wound. Sprinkle the wheat flour onto the wound so it makes the blood clump up and stop new blood from leaking out.
Wow how could have owl like Eagle owl or snowy owl
Hello,Vegan.How are you?I am Tiffany from China.I have few question want to ask u abt baby barn owl,I think my baby barn owl get cold:(,what can I do for that?I am so afraid, I give it a towel already,she is only three month year old :(,please give me some advice,thank you very much
If she's three months, then I'm surprised she's cold. What the room temperature you put her in?
Vegan Hippie Hi,thank you for shortly reply.It would be very helpful for me.The room temperate is 25-27°C,is that too cold for her?
No that's completely fine. She's probably not cold then but if she's shivering after meals, that's normal...
I found two baby owl , I guess they are around 40 days old , can I feed them small pieces of cow meat ?
Nooo! They will die if you give them that! Only raw pieces of mice and one day old chicks!
Vegan Hippie please help me! In my contry it s the middle of the night and i just found a baby owl on the street, in a City. I don t have Any mice. What can i Feed it? What should i do?
I found an owl in the road and idk what to do, gonna look for places that will take it in the morning, if their are none I'll attempt to raise it
How do I get an owl in india
since when you take care of Lookie ?
For 4 and a half years now. I got her when she was 3 days old.
Oh, look, it's Soren.
How did you get the owl??? You were speaking about it as if from a pet store or breeder..#"whenyoubringtheowlhome"😂😂😂😂❤
Damn. I had no idea they were so frail
So, it is okay to keep my baby barn owl on a box right ? Because some people said that they are better to be kept in a room (?) i dont really know why. can you confirm that its okay to keep the baby owl until it grows in the box ? thanks
It's ok to keep it in a box. The only "harsh" part at a certain moment is when they start to jump: you have to put a lid on the box (the box shouldn't be completely covered with the lid but you put a book or something on the lid so that your owl can't jump the lid off) and they jump with their head against the lid so many times! That was hard for me but apparently, this is how every falconer does it in Belgium. I guess you could keep them in a room but the whole room will be covered in owl shit.
thanks for the fast response. Yes, i did that do my javan scops owl. He is a bit older than my barn owl. It's a pity that i missed the information about having a teddy bear or blanket on the box with them. I wish i got that info sooner. He tried jumping off the box, as if he is trying to fly away. I just got a barn owl a couple weeks back. May i know until what age they are allowed to live outside the house (considering the weather). I lived in Indonesia, which is a very tropical country, so maybe the things that i need to look out is heat stroke, rain and wind, but yea, what is the appropriate age for them to be able to live on a pole outside the house ?
thanks before :)
oh and is it okay for these young owls to live inside my room (with ac in it). around 20degree celcius temperature set.
The environment is ok temperature wise
They need to stay inside the first 3 months even if you live in a warm climate. This is because the first three months, they can become sick very easily and die. After three months (when they have all of their feathers) you can start taking them outisde to socialize them with traffic, dogs, horses etc. Take it for walks, A LOT. This is what I did with Lookie. Don't only go in nature but also into the city. That way they get used to everything.
I wasn't even watching the girl I was watching the owl the hole time XD😁😂
