Barn owl (Tyto furcata) nestlings show clear excitement as a rat is delivered to the nest box at the University of Florida, captured on a live wildlife camera. The chicks react immediately with eager movements and focused attention, a sign of strong feeding motivation and healthy development. This moment highlights the importance of successful hunting nights for growing owl broods.

What does this mean? (Quick science note)
Barn owl nestlings respond strongly to prey delivery because feeding opportunities are brief and competitive. Rapid reactions help ensure efficient food allocation and support fast growth during the nestling stage.

This video is meant to document the lives of wild animals so that we can learn more for both educational & research purposes and serve as an aid for the species conservation effort. We do not set up, stage, or intervene but only document the lives of wild animals.
