      Yes, there is occasionally some trademark infringement by another group, but they usually stop using it around this time.

      While this owl family is definitely very superb, there are a few others if you look around! We have owls for every occasion.

    That live feed is great.

    I saw her earlier today, ripping up dead prey and feeding it to her two babies! They were covered in gore, but still adorable. And hungry! I had no idea baby owls could eat pieces as large as they did.

      I have the worst timing, I never see anything. I’m glad there is a diligent team of people taking screenshots!

      This one looks really good!

      I’m glad to see the nest full of food, someone had commented they hadnt seen Mr Owl in a few days. I guess he’s just busy hunting non-stop.

        I saw a post on a different site this morning. They had 3 barn owl chicks a bit old than these guys but still very small and they said they were eating 15 mice a day between the 3 of them!
