Really good video! Great information and you can tell you really care about people buying these birds on a whim. Beautiful birds but not something I’m ready for
Video is fab! Very well explained. Everyone thinking of owning and training one of these birds should do their homework and definately give this video a watch! I always imprint and train my Barn Owls this way and the results are great. Thankyou for making the video
Thank you very much for this! I recently started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation facility to hopefully be certified to work with native species in the near future. The facility I go to has a new baby barn owl that is going to be used as an educational animal so I get to see it being trained; this video explained a lot of the important ideas really well!
Thank you so so much for this video I run a small animal rescue and had two barn owls dumped in a small rusted dog cage, they said they were imprinted but all they have done here is hiss at me and I am really concerned. They have been pets for kids who were fans of harry potter, never flown outside, got a long road ahead of me. I have not found alot of informaion on how to care for them then this came up on my feed and thank god.
Beautiful bird! I've been reading and researching about barn owl intelligence. I keep coming across contradictory statements about owls being completely non social animals; simultaneously, I've read academic journals that discuss how barn owls have wide social capabilities and great memory. What are your thoughts on barn owl intelligence from working with them? Do you think there is unfai testing due to the farsighted eyes and solitary nature of these birds? Again, brilliant video!
That was very interesting, great warnings on loosing your birds of prey, we have a Harris hawk loose near us been around for a couple of years, I hope It doesn’t breed with the buzzard that would be so bad , not sure if that’s possible . I also know a lad who lost his barn owl ,no telemetry, Your barn owl is a fine looking owl.
Thank you for this informative lesson! Have one question from the end of this video. Is the owl flying off the glove, circling, then returning to the same person? Is that a normal flight pattern or behavior for owls? Or is this something you teach them to do? Maybe she was flying from person to person. but if she was leaving, circling, and returning, that is a neat behavior. How would you train them to do this? Thank you for your time! Watched this video to learn more ins and outs of working with owls.
Great video learn a lot. I have been given an owl but the one they gave me is already 4 months old and agresive and i would like to know how to gain its trust n What is best for the owl and how i can have a strong bond with it. Please make a video on how to gain trust on a owl that hasn't been imprinted.
As per our video, we wouldn’t work with an owl that hasn’t be imprinted as it can be very stressful for the bird, you’ll need lots of patience and time
Guys i need help as a single child i have always wanted a pet never a bird cause i m a dog person so on my 17 th birthday i got my self a spitz and b mix baby however after 2 months of having my dog suddenly today a barn owl droped by at my house now in our culture Barn owls r symbol of Wealth so when the owl slapped my dad with its wings my dad thought he was sick and got him inside of our house now he lives in a room closed for today... I wanted to take it to The vet with my aunt however he Actually digged his claw in her fingers The owl only likes my dad he flies away when i try to pet him... He didnt eat any Raw chicken he only ate a mouse i think
That glove is a bit dramatic though... Like you're working with a 10lb golden eagle. That barn owl weighs about as much as your cell phone. My rescue owl would perch gently on my index finger.
