Bonnie and Clyde Hijack the Eagle Nest!
Bonnie and Clyde are a mated pair of Great Horned owls. They couldn't manage to find a home of their own, so they hijacked Willie and Marie's, the American Bald Eagles, home.
Bonnie has made her own space in the nest and has laid an egg. Watch as the battle for the nest pays out on this video! Subscribe to our channel for more farm fun!

Farmer Derek lives and works on the Klingenberg Family farm and ranch. He works with his Dad and two brothers. They raise Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Cattle, and Cats. They background all the cattle and then graze them in the Flint Hills and they end up at the feedyards in Western Kansas.
The farm was started in the mid 30's by his grandpa who immigrated from West Prussia in 1923 when he was 9.
Growing up, Derek's family priorities consisted of church, family, work, music, and eating a lot. He now has his own family of three cute girls along with his wife Kara. Derek spends his time working on the farm, dancing with his girls, and making KZfaq videos.

Great horned owls don't build their own nests - they usually take over abandoned nests other birds are no longer using, but this is pretty aggressive.

@DrRiddlez2015 2 жыл бұрын

not really, GHO usually lay eggs at different times then other raptors and when they're looking for a nest they usually come across an abandoned one, However, if the nest they want is occupied they will relentlessly attempt drive the tenants away, because time is of the essence.

Wow. There is an eagle nest owned by Harriet and M15. For many weeks this breeding season great horned owls have brutally attacked the poor eagles for their nest. The eagles have won the battle and now raising 2 eaglets that are now three weeks old. Poor M15 still unfortunately gets attacked every now and then but it doesn't scare him off. Those owls though are powerful and has no fear and so persistent.

@nickymarch2914 3 жыл бұрын

Those owls at SWFL are an absolute nuisance and seem to do that to Harriet and M every season. I remember last season one of the eaglets, who was older and roosting on a branch, even got knocked off by an owl. They just strike them at the dead of night when they’re sleeping all the time, I feel so bad 😭

@sevenrats 2 жыл бұрын

That just isn't true. Once the owl is on that nest it has the advantage. If the eagle could catch the owl out in the open then it would be able to kill the owl but Great Horned Owls will always have the advantage in the forest. Great Horned Owls are very aggressive and they're shorter wings give them an advantage in cover. Also even if the eagles do manage to get back on the nest, as soon as darkness falls the owls will comeback with can of whoop ass. No eagle is getting that nest back.

@marypritchett115 2 жыл бұрын

@@sevenrats We have to agree to disagree here since we are not eagles or owls. It has been said that owls do not make their own nests because their incredible night vision capability robs them of brain capacity to take on nest building. Eagles lack night vision and are sitting ducks at night. In the day, however, their cognitive abilities give them the upper hand. They would not give the owl a chance to come back at night.
