ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________

Parental Support:

For several weeks the adult barn owls continue to provide food and protection for their newly fledged young and I see Dryer and Gylfie bringing them food. During this time the young owls will be practising and perfecting their hunting techniques until they no longer need feeding.

Developing Independence:

As they improve their flying and hunting abilities, the young barn owls become more self-sufficient. They start to explore further from the nest site.

Full Independence:

Eventually, the young owls will leave the care of their parents entirely, and they will leave their home territories, finding their own and becoming fully independent hunters.
