Training the Harry Potter Snowy owl for falconry 

*I think shes more bonded to the cameraman than anyone at this point*

this too cute and you're right any creatures take lot time to care for them and given whole attention.

She makes a sharp, long screech especially for food, and then twitters and warbles when eating. Cute.

Are you not supposed to feed raptors with your hand? I think at that age it should be capable of feeding with food on the ground. On the other hand, I know owls do imprint and react differently than hawks/falcons, used to have a GHO which was sweet, adm did manage to catch a few rats in the park.

Doing great! She's so cute!

I never knew baby owls are so vocal. She has a lot to say. 😂

Damn that owl is noisy. A very beautiful screech but way to vocal. That is the down side of imprinting. You get a very noisy bird. Honestly I thought that only the red tailed hawk made that type of screech. You learn something new every day. Owls are amongst my favorite birds. I am hoping to get into falconry one day and would love to have one. Though I would likely have a great horned, or maybe a saw-whet if I want something smaller. I could also go for a barn owl. Their plumage is my favorite of the owls, even though their face is nightmare fuel. It would really depend on what I would want to hunt with them and what kind of environment I would do the hunting in. I may even end up with a Harris hawk or peregrine falcon if I can not find good hunting places for owls near me. Honestly I am not that picky on what bird I get. A long as it is a good experience for both me and the bird, any bird would do. Will have to do a lot of research before choosing and I only want to get one bird. I do not think I would want a "starter" bird that eventually gets neglected once I get a preferred one. I would rather choose a bird and stick with it.

I was going to click away, but then noticed you hand feeding the bird and suddenly got really curious. "Wait. Do they have some sort of magic to prevent food screaming?" Nope. No they don't. It's apparently just as much of a cardinal sin with owls as it is with falcons and accipiters. At least it didn't seem to be as deafeningly loud as some falcons. Are you going to have to remove vocal cords or does it go away with enough hunting with owls?

She’s so cute! You all did a good job!

how to buy snowy owl..?

How many mice/rats did you feet it @2:00? Id have imagined they wouldnt receive that much normally?

Snowy owls are so beautiful. Did not realize that they eat a lot! Great video!

My husband and I would love to become falconers as we both have a huge love for owls! I love how she is in her own way saying "Hello human! I love you!" Camera guy: You're not supposed to be in there. Owl: What's yours is mine human!

Years late, but how did you handle when she reached sexual maturity? Does she try to court one of her handlers, or attack "rival" humans? Trying to understand how one deals with these issues in owls specifically.

I found a baby horn owlett about 3 wks old on the ground with some maggots on it I rescued it clean him up. Now I'm wondering some say I can over feed it and kill it I seen you giving quite a few mice at once will they quit eating when full? I hope I'm not under feeding it. how do you tell boy or girl? Thanks for. any help.

what age was she you started flight training with her?

Great video thanks for sharing

i love when they are juveniles but have the white face feathers like a mask
