This is the fifth episode in a mini-series, introducing you to some of the birds I work with.
Introducing the smallest bird that I currently work with. He is just 3 years old and homebred. Hiccup is a Little Owl, the UK's smallest resident species of owl. Even though the weather is rubbish at the moment I find ways to keep him entertained!

"Like throwing a paper bag in the breeze when he tries to fly" is possibly the most savage burn I've ever heard applied to a bird of prey. Poor guy. :D

Topic Idea - "Bird Body Language" - you talk about how you an tell their mental state by their physical state... Other signs such as health or illness. Its always a joy to see how you understand and care for your birds - From birth and through life. You're a wonderful "bird mom" :)

@AK-jt7kh 3 жыл бұрын

@FrenchPaul1988 3 жыл бұрын

I don't think you'd get much about their health from body language. They'd rather try to conceal illnesses. However it can be helpful to know attitudes or behaviors that can be telling on the bird's mood.

Fun fact! Typically the hunting times of owls typically depend on their eye colour, little and short eared owls hunt usually in the day as shown by their yellow eyes. Dusk and Dawn hunters such as the great horned owl have orange eyes, and hunters like the barn and tawny owls hunt at night with their brown / black eyes
