My wife and I live near a golf course. One of the golfers saw a baby Barn Owl floundering around in the grass. It had a deformed (not broken) leg and spine. We could only guess that it fell (or was pushed) out of a nearby nest. It would have died right there at the golf course if not rescued. Through social media, the golfer contacted my wife and asked if she could care for it until it could fly. So we agreed to take it in. Vets would not treat it because they are not licensed to treat raptors. This owl was a female and we named her Clover. She was so young she still had the white fuzzy feathers. We knew she would have no chance surviving in the wild. We made a home for her here. We fell in love with her and she with us. For the next four months we raised her the best we knew how. We fed her two medium size mice in the morning and two at night. We'd buy 100 frozen mice, thaw them out and warm them up. Clover would absolutely gobble those mice. Her deformed leg had a clenched talon. She could not catch and hold a live mouse with only one functional talon. Plus, her deformed leg always kept her off balance. After about four months, she stopped eating. Two days later she died on my wife's lap. She was barely breathing and finally took her last breath. She became such a part of our lives. She had such a personality. She loved sitting on our lap while we stroked her neck. She never bit us, but she would give us little love nibbles. She loved her life. Our hearts are absolutely broken.

Thank you for educating, I am not wanting an owl as a pet, however love to learn about these beautiful birds 😊

awww at 0:16 you made that sigh while looking at the list and your owl looked at you and did it too

lookie is so cute

This young lady is simply... A M A Z I N G ...! I have seen ALL YOUR VIDEOS and I love ALL OF THEM.

The owl: you called me it? IM OFFENDED

your owl is the cutest thing i have ever seen!!!

Such an elegant and quiet animal

Sounds like sage advice - you obviously have a happy, healthy owl and a lovely bond!

You look like Ariel! Beautiful owl as well, you two look great together!

Hello , Thank you for all great advise on how to bond with an Owl ... Yrs ago someone bought me a Barn owl which had fallen from a bridge All muddy like a dirty cotton ball I did my best to feed it even though it would hiss n cry I fed it very carefully. He grew up quickly and ended up growing into a beauty , So when I saw it Start to jump n practice Pouncing on imaginary prey I decided to take it to an Owl refuge 😔 Even though I didn’t want to I had to because I am from the U S and it’s illegal To have native birds . Btw at the owl refuge they told they couldn’t believe how beautiful he was and in such good healthy condition Your barn owl bought back so many good memories , Thank you

holly shes beatiful u hearing those tweets omg so cute !!!!

Wow... Just realized something... When you showed that video of you holding the baby Lookie.. From the angle she was facing she loooked like a Dodo bird. :D This is crazy.

Lol I love how Lookie is falling asleep. Lookie and Cosmos are the most chill owls I've met lol

I am so happy I came across your videos. I am not only being entertained by you and adorable little Lookie but also learning alot. I live in San Francisco, California and it is illegal to own an owl here. I have an owl that I adopted but he lives in the zoo. Unfortunately when I go see him I cannot hold him or pet him etc... but he does respond to me when I am there. His name is Wilbur and he at birth, fell out of a tree and contracted west nile virus. He was rescued by hikers and sent to the San Francisco zoo where they care for him. He was cured of the virus but still has some neurological issues as a result so he cannot be left out in the wild. I wish I had him and could care for him as you do with Lookie. I will watch more of your videos so I can learn more . Thank you for what you are doing in educating all of us. You can see my Wilbur in my picture in his barn at the zoo :)

Hi Ms. Vegen, Greeting from Myanmar ! I got an owl, may be teenager, in a street flying away from the crows under the broad day light, hurt hitting against the walls and closed windows of nearby apartments. So I picked up and kept it with me - he had been sick for about 2 days and now recovered from sneezing ! Thanks very much for your very informative videos on owl care !

dam..there both so cute...Nice Job girl

Great video n very helpful I got mine as an egg n im very excited for the experience im going to have with my owl.

It's true. You awesome. And yes having one I imagine is not cool. It's super cosmic cool 😍😻🦉. Thank you very much, I'm studying the owls behavior and feelings and meaning for an incarnation for theatre 🎭. And have always loved them. Their aesthetics delight me 👩‍🎨. I'm subscribing 🗣. Thanks to Lookie!! Your actitud and perspective makes me grateful to the focus you provide. Have a lovely time together 🦋

You are amazing. She is so precious.

Wow that is amazing.

I find this all so amazing. Question; how do you keep Lookie entertained when you go off to work?

You are as adorable as your owl.....

That is one good looking bird.

I got my owl (3 days ago) when she was 1 month and 2 weeks. The falconer told me that it will be easier for me to feed it being this big. Is there any chance to create a bound with her considering her age when I took it ?

I Love this woman shes so smart I just bought 2 baby owls and im learning from this lady Tnx sweetie I think i should talk to you about my baby owls and ask you some specific questions about my baby's

if ur having the owl live outside how can u create that close bond and get it used to living outside

You look like Poison Ivy (I love your videos btw)

I want an owl 🦉 so bad.... I'm not sure about the laws here in the United States. I love them so much! ❤️ I can tell your owl loves you very much! ❤️ 👍 Great video!

thank you for your videos

Great info, thank you...

Beautiful barn owl lookies

lookie looks like she's ready to sleep XD

I love your vids. I'm living thru you cause I just don't think I can own a owl but I think it's cool.

Can you put anklets on them when they are a few weeks old? So they can get used to it at a early age?

Hello! My owl came home when he was a week old. I was too scared of him at first (he was rescued, some kids killed his mum and he fell off the nest and my dad saved him) the only bonding thing that I used to do back then was feeding him and giving him water, now Cenizo is 1 year and a half old. He let me pet him and hold him but I don’t feel like we have a strong bond... and I would love to have one. He’s a tropical screech owl and I want to start training him. What do you recommend me? He doesn’t like when people touch his face or his stomach.

Can you take your owl travelling with you? For example in a car or maybe airplane and how to you transport them? And what environment can owls be in and what they can’t be in? Questions I’ve been wondering :) Love you channel btw! 🖤🖤🖤

hey you :) if you say go on walks.. is it possible to go on walks with the owl on the shoulder? or is it better on the arm

Et bien sure, Jolie Vegan! Tu es reelment incroyable. Tu as le coeur d'or !!

Hello, I have a baby owl. could you help me. Could you please coach me on how to care for it. Thank you

How can i keep my owl clean and how can do away with its smell

what kind of toys can you use or are acceptable to use with your imprinted owl?? Referring to play time and avoidance of boredom??

What should u do when u have to leave town or country and u cant take ur owl with u? Can u leave owl with family member even when u go to worck for whole day...?

I have school so , how to make them know you aren't home ? How to make them comfortable

How I gonna feed her, I do. n't see any vdo on freeing

What did u feed during that time (child) ?

how about juvenile or mature owl dear?

How do you discipline Lookie when she misbehaves?

Imprinting is very important for any animal for that matter. Makes it way easier for them to respect you

thanks for your effort in general telling your story raising your wonderful owl. I wanted to inquire about that owls has to be fed with cut rats or mice or frozen kittens. No way to be raised using plants or so .... because that would be against its nature , am i right ? and because its true nature is predator right ?

Can u train ur owl or walk with ur owl in midnight ?

I hear a baby owl.... making a "SHHHH . SHHHHHHHH" sound. But I keep seeing stray cats trying to get to her/him. Should I save it if the mother isn't there? I'm worried. I think it's a Barn Yard or Pueo owl. Also,, is sunlight bad for their eyes?

Kinda dark question how do you go about accepting the loss of an owl

I got mine at the age roughly one and half year old

Your a great representative for all raptors, thanks.

How do you fly a owl?

Hi, so I happen to get a barn owl from a friend, I think it's around 1 month old, and the white fuzz hair's about to be gone, and it's really defensive, I plan to keep it for a few moment then release it in the wild, but I find it hard to feed and calm it down, do you have any tips, because it's really defensive right now, I'm afraid I might stress it out. I really look forward to any tips and trick, thanks. Ps. I plan to release it once it's bigger and healthier and ready to make fly.. I hope anyone would help me give some tips.. thanku

i want an owl so bad my god they are so majestic

Aaaaaaaaaw ! I wish I have a Owl too...!!!

Does anyone know any owl breeders that sell little owls

where do you buy an owl? It's a bird of prey probably not in the U.S.

Barn owls look scary af..imagine seeing one at night..it would look like a very bad omen

ARE YOU ABLE TO HAVE AN OWL AS A PET IN OREGON

This 'vegan hippy' certainly knows her owl lore.I'd guess the only way to bond with an owl is, as she said, to have it imprint on you, so get it as a newborn....easier said than done with wild owls. Five of mine are this year's brood, they can fly ok and have no fear of me. About a month ago I was opening he shutters at night so I could see an electrical storm better, the sky was flashing but with no sound....and as i fiddled with the right side wall catch I heard a 'skeutch' noise and something grabbed and then released my3rd finger on the right hand! An owl had flown round the corner from the West wall where their door is and must have thought the wriggling finger was a mouse or lizard. I could quite easily have toppled out of the window and it's a long drop! Beautiful things owls, if a tad hooliganistic. The young ones make the most incredible noises, bangs and crashes up their in the attic, like boisterous puppies with feathers and wings. And they are self-feeding, unlike puppies. May the force be with you, owls.

I'm a guy. but I feel like either way, whether it's an owl or a duck, or a dog, it considers me it's mom. It's kinda nice.

I have a squadron of large white owls which live in a box in the attic. They get into the box via an 8" square hole at the top of the tower part of this old watermill I live in in France. I suppose this was built into the wall as owls are useful as guardians to keep mice under control....don't want mice around a mill with grain being stored after all. I seem to have a mother and 5 younger owls but I think the mother may have a problem as she breathes so loudly I can hear it at night. Too many Gitanes? I'll be converting the attic but will make sure the owl box is conserved as I like owls more than I like mice in the house.....and of course, being a Harry Potter fan, it does save on stamps. Who needs sms when you have owls?

From what I've read in the United states you have to catch owls or other birds of prey and they have to be a year old

YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON AND LOOKIE IS GORGEOUS !

so basically it's a full time job?

What type of Owl is she?

I NEED a barn owl

This is so sad to keep an owl as a pet.

Hi there! Have you ever said what you're real name is? I love to watch how you handle you owl, Lookie is adorable! I have a Nanday Conyour and his name is Malcom. When I take him out of his cage I put a diaper on him. I got them out of the pet warehouse magazine, you can get the size you need and in different colors. The are called flight suits for birds if you like to look them up on the internet. Anyway I was just wanting to tell you that I love your videos. Keep up the good work!! :-)

If the persona get a 1 month owl and it has a paralaiz wing can exist a bond
