You’re welcome Deborah. At least we have one that survived. Wonder if they will do an autopsy on the older one to see what the cause of death was. It looked healthy.
they believe it was because of the dad not coming to feed them
😥
about the baby owls, btw thanks jerseygirl for the video, I wasn’t aware of this…so I went to YouTube to find out what happened, a couple days ago Athena had abandoned the nest bc both the owlets had died they believe due to dad not coming to feed them, so they also believe something happened to dad since he hasn’t been around
lo and behold one was alive
Here is the link that is on Athena’s little owlet that was found alive.
ty
thanks Jersey
so sorry to read that one baby was lost. What Happened? I guess the cameras are down because i haven’t seen any feeds. Hope the 2nd little one is doing fine.
Athena, I am so sorry you lost one of your little ones. Our hearts go out to you. Please return you still have one strong little one that needs your love and affection to grow up to be just like you and it’s daddy. We all love and miss you.
