Our Barn Owls are growing up very fast with
feathers taking the place of their fluffy coats. It is an amazing
transformation that people rarely get the chance to see. We have been watching how these chicks become
more and more self-efficient and shape into big Barn Owl adults. We are used to
these owls species here at Ubizane as they regularly fly by during the night in
between the Fever Trees. They love
making nests in these tall enchanting Fever Trees as well as in the thatch
roofs of Tree Lodge. Barn Owls have been
the night companions of Tree Lodge staff members for a very long time and so it
seems fitting that we rescued these little ones to bring them back to strength. This morning we took some photo’s during our
feeding session.
The smallest one of the three still has a
lot of feathers to grow but he’s getting there slowly.
The
middle sized one looks odd with only a few fluffy patches on his head.
Meet our oldest Barn Owl. He is changing into an adult very fast with
beautiful feathers almost covering his whole body now.
Keep checking our blog for the latest
updates on the transformation of our beautiful Barn Owl chicks!
