| Owls
feeding themselves on fat lizards! |
| |
| I'm
told that the three juvenile owls are doing well, still feeding themselves
on a supply of lizards provided by their surrogate mother! The real
mother apparently puts in an appearance but is not approaching the
youngsters. As can be seen from the photos below, the three juvenile
birds are coping well with whole lizards. |

| Three
juvenile Owls arrive in garden! |
| |
| After
heavy rain and wind 3 juvenile owls were found in a garden in Ban
Na Kru, Nakorn Phanom province in northeastern Thailand. As can be
seen from the photos below, they appear to be Asian Barred Owlets
Glaucidium cuculoides and are fairly close (within one week?)
of fledging. |

| They
are being kept on a hanging cage to protect them from dogs and have
been feeding themselves from chopped up lizards and insects provided
for them. When taken onto an insect rich field the three juvenile
owls began to forage for insects of their own accord and it appears
that the mother may have made an appearance. A close eye is being
kept upon them and food is being supplied, with the hope that the
parents will return to take care of them. |
