A female barn owl (Tyto alba) gently feeds her tiny, one-day-old nestling bit by bit inside a nest box in Israel, captured on a live wildlife camera. At this stage, the chick is extremely small and fragile, requiring prey to be torn into minute pieces and delivered slowly. This careful feeding highlights the precision and attentiveness of early owl parental care.

What does this mean? (Quick science note)
During the first days after hatching, barn owl nestlings cannot swallow large food items or regulate their body temperature. Mothers carefully control feeding size and pace to ensure safe digestion and survival during this critical developmental window.

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.
