Скачать или смотреть Barn Owl Balances on One Leg — Egg Coming Soon?

A peaceful and intriguing moment unfolds as a barn owl stands on one leg while roosting, a common behavior that may also appear in females approaching egg-laying. Owls often rest on one leg to conserve heat and energy, but when paired with nest box occupancy, calling, and increased restlessness, it can indicate that an egg may be coming soon.

This gentle posture allows researchers and viewers to observe subtle cues in pre-laying behavior, thermoregulation, and roosting comfort. Moments like these highlight how barn owls prepare their bodies for the demanding process of producing and incubating eggs.

This footage is meant to document wild animal behavior for educational & research purposes, supporting barn owl conservation. We do not stage or intervene — everything shown is fully natural.
