These Barn Owl Chicks Have the Best Owl Dad

Finn the barn owl has turned into an excellent first time dad to his two barn owl chicks. My latest film follows his story from those early, clumsy attempts at romance, to his increasing confidence in his role as a protector and provider.  To support my channel and the wildlife rehabilitation and conservation work I do, please donate here: Barn owl pair Finn & Gylfie now have two tiny chicks in the Elm Stump nest. Sadly the youngest chick didn’t make it, but the remaining owlets are doing really well. You can see them on my livestream here: THEIR OWL STORY. Finn and Gylfie first hooked up together last year. Finn is just two years old - this is his first breeding season - and his inexperience has been amusing to watch. You can read more about Finn, who is an orphaned owl and was released here at Fotherdale, and his romantic courtship with Gylfie here:
