Crystal Baby Owl by Mats Jonasson
Once a baby owl is born, its young owlet brothers and sisters may often try to feed younger siblings. Two to three hours after birth a baby owlet looks like a fluffy ball of fur. As young owlets grow they become more aware of their surroundings and can move about their nest.
Once the baby owls are old enough to come out of their nest, they will start looking around, hopping from branch to branch of the tree in which their nest sits. If the baby owlet falls from a tree branch it will either climb up the tree and hop back to its nest if their is a suitable route, or it will just remain on the ground. One important thing to bear in mind if you see a baby owl on the ground is that it is proaby best to leave it where it is as longas it is not in danger from its location. This is common advice for most baby birds. Their parents will, in most cases, be able to locate their offspring by their calls, and will feed and protect them until they are able to fly. In the case of the owl, flight occurs after they are about 10 weeks old. This crystal baby owl depicts an owlet who is venturing out onto the branches of its tree for one of its first peeks at life outside the nest.
