I posted this in the lounge, but it will probably be old history in a couple of days. So I thought I would post it here and keep the updates in this forum.
A pretty cool bird for sure. I can get within 4-6' of her now.
I walk around her and talk to her several times a day. She doesn't look or act at me as a threat.
We have a new outdoor pet! Trey noticed a Great Horned Owl in the tree right outside of our kitchen window. The tree is about 15' away and she is about 8'-9' above ground. She hasn't moved at all since last Friday 3-1. I have done a little research, and she will be on the nest for 33+- days. The male gets her food since she doesn't move at all. We can hear him hooting close by, but I haven't located him yet. It will be fun watching the little owls after they hatch. They will be able to move to the branches at 6 wks. and fly after 7 wks. but will not be competent flyers until 10-12 wks. They should hang around until Oct.
Do any of you know what food I could put out for them? Yea I know they eat rodents and birds, but they don't sell either in Kroger's meat dept. I put out some COOKED chicken and they didn't get it. I will put out some raw chicken to see if the Male will get it.
Hooter has a new family We are new Grandparents :wink:
