Saw Whet Owlets are probably the most fun and animated baby owls I’ve ever watched. Took them months to stop the major head bobbing and body dances. It could be early morning, mid afternoon, or evening, and they would be moving around, preening, stretching, head bobbing, and doing the twist. These babies do not sleep all day long as many Adult Saw Whets do. They would snooze for an hour or so and then become alert again.
