I have been collecting bits of footage of the first year with my owl. In this video I show how a one week old owl grows and develops into a fully grown bird of prey. Its like an episode of real life owl babies! Training birds of prey takes a lot of time and effort, but owls are different. Although not to be taken as a tutorial this video shows how to train an owl as well as how to raise an owl. Training an owl with falconry techniques can start at a much earlier stage than parent reared birds as we raise the owls by hand, this is called imprinting.
If you are thinking about getting an owl or have recently got a bird, this video is not what you should use as your source of information on how to train your owl. This is just a video showing a year with my owl, from picking us a chick all the way to flying an eagle owl.

Thank you for watching!

The past few days has been a blast for my wife and I. I recently became a volunteer for owl and raptor in bc. Now I receive owl's when I get called for an emergency. So far handled and delivered a female screech owl and a extra small saw-whet female owl. Both successfully delivered for medical attention in relation of accidents "cars". My area has no one for these beauties so it makes me glad to be here to help.

I have a few baby owls that were hatched by two wild owls on my property. I wanted to keep one chic as I thought this would be cool. But after watching this and realizing the responsibility of basically being the owls mate for life. I decided against it. Just too much responsibility. Thanks for the video.

@@MercerFalconry I'm in South Africa. There are no laws against almost anything to do with animals. Then again we don't have crazy people trying to keep crocodiles in their apartments. If you read my comment you would see that my conscience and investigations as well as common sense led me to the decision NOT to keep the owl. One of the reasons I wanted to initially was that the other two chic's died so I briefly considered interfering before the other one died as well(they died of exposure because the mom laid the eggs in a very exposed place, hence I was concerned) Also, I am in AFRICA: there are owls EVERYWHERE as well as Golden Eagles etc etc. so chill, they are not endangered here - and yes the last chic is still with us in the land of the living...

I have an owlet that had been given to me as a work at a veterinary clinic. It came in with spinal and brain damage. We believe it is about a week and a half old as it has just started opening its eyes. We're expecting it to make a full recovery and hopefully be able to migrate back into the wild

Like feeding them chicks is much better way than any Grinder, because I understand that male Hens would just beat themselves up with each other so prevention is key. Which is sad but so is life. So if they are KOd humanely and then fed to animal thats the best ending. Even if this one is imprinted and its difficult to deny his request to mate its for his safety as one wrong interaction could end badly for him

Hello . I was thinking to get a barn owl for imprinting. But I have a question. Do all owls need day old poultry chicks and rats to survive? Like I almost dropped my plan of getting an owl after I came to know that they require dead cockerels or rats (as suggested by some people). Like my question is that can I raise the owls without feeding rats or dead chicks ? Can I just feed them variety of birds like sparrow, pigeon, chicken hearts, and other small bird ? Thank you very much

The reason the chicks are used so commonly is because they are cheap and a very good complete diet containing all the nutrients the owl needs, if you keep an eye out, the next video I am making is all about what to feed the birds

Do you do free flight with any non parent reared owls? New to your channel so sorry if you've gone over this more in another video!

No I don’t, parent reared owls are very difficult to work with and not worth the stress!

He is called Sway and he lives in an aviary in the garden with all my other birds, and he did get on well with Blue the dog but unfortunately she got cancer at a year old and is no longer with us

Great video Dan, why can eagle owls run so fast I don’t get it!

I think the reason is that the owlets are so big that they don't fit in a tree hollow before they can fly, so they have to spend some of their time growing up on the ground, where they might need to run fast to get away from danger.
