The life of an owl "after the box"....
To those of us who wish to see the way a Tawny Owl left his box in The Netherlands , few days ago (May 13), you can watch excellent videos on pages 9-10 on this site:

The mother had 3 eggs but just this owlet survived. He had a lot of food all that time but at the end, after his mom left the box during the day, he was very bored by himself.
Their window is connected to branches and this makes it easy to go out and even come back. He left early in the morning and was very cute trying to walk on the branch. Few minutes later, mother came with food – it was a very special and even touching video to watch when she saw he is not there(on page 9).
During his first day out, we were able to watch him jumping and walking on the branches of green trees, because the outside camera covers a large area there. You can see it in many of the videos (page 10).
During the first night, Mom came again with food she stayed a while in the box and looked sad or thoughtful.
Hope you'll enjoy those nice videos with an happy end which helped me to forget the sad events of last weekend.
