This wildlife livestream captures American barn owl (Tyto furcata) nestlings collectively attempting to consume a large rat inside a nest box at the University of Florida. When prey exceeds the size a single chick can manage, nestlings may cooperatively tear it apart, driven by intense hunger and rapid growth demands. Such feeding interactions highlight competitive yet adaptive behaviors that maximize energy intake during development. Moments like this provide valuable insight into raptor feeding ecology, sibling dynamics, and survival strategies.

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.
