The long-eared owl Chufik saw Chuchundriy the boreal owl, who was sunbathing in the sun. Thinking that Chuchundriy is his relative, Chufik began to squeak invitingly.
An owl squeaking does not mean that it is suffering at all. It squeaks to signal to its parents and siblings about its whereabouts, and that it wants to be fed. Well-fed owls usually sit side by side and are silent. Usually, in nature, squeaking begins in the evening twilight and continues until the parents have fed everyone by morning.
Owlets stop squeaking when they begin to hunt and not expecting help from their parents.
If Chufyrka hears his voice from this recording, then he starts to squeak stably in response, so I turn off the sound in advance. :)
