Her face when he finally wakes her up... 😂
Acorn the barn owl owlet just wants to sleep, but her brother Oak has other ideas.
Who else had a sibling like this?
This is Fum & Gebra! Very curious case of a falconer’s trainee Barn owl and pet cat becoming good friends and engaging in play/grooming together. The cat, Fum, unfortunately passed away in 2013, but what they had was something very special and I’ve yet to see replicated
The youngest is now the heaviest 🦉⚖️
Jean Thorpe of @ryedale_rehab and I rang Gylfie's barn owlets this week.
Interestingly, although the youngest chick, Acorn, hatched five days after its sibling and was considerably smaller as a chick, she is now the heavier owlet.
⚖️♂️Oak. a male, weighed 355g,
🦉♀️Acron, a female, was 410g.
Oak has already taken his first flights. Watch Acorn's fledge on the livestream from their nest 👉https://t.co/tQ6NZsQjSY
