Dinnertime For The Owlets 🦉 04/27/23 19:22

The oldest owlet had been eating for quite a while, now it's time to feed the other two owlets and the baby makes sure to get its fair share. Trying to swallow a piece a bit too big several times, Mom lets the youngest owlet know to take the piece from her instead. As long as there is a sufficient supply of prey, a mother Great Horned Owl will always make sure each owlet is fed fairly. Feeding the first, and usually, the more aggressive owlet before the others will help to fill it up first, so feeding the remainder of the owlets will be less interrupted and also make sure they get a sufficient amount.
