Owlivia Update

We think that 3 out of 4 of Owlivias eggs have hatched, though it may only be 2. The first chick hatched 1 week before the others and is now large enough to sit next to her.  He or she can be seen trying to nibble on the numerous mice bodies.  We were worried that the difference in size might mean he/she would pick on the smaller ones to compete for food but this is a good year for mice and there is plenty to eat.

The young chick can also stretch his/her wings now that there is more space available.

Owlivia our Barn Owl

Some photographs of Owlivia from our live cam sitting on four eggs.
You can see the story of our barn owl at WWW.highwoodlife.com, under wildlife.

The eggs should hatch any time soon and if you visit the site you can what happens.  It is nature so anything can happen!

We asked our family and friends to name her!

 Sometimes it is as if she knows we are looking at her.
















 Owlivia turns the eggs to make sure they are kept constantly warm.
