A huge THANK YOU to Bryanston Avian Vet for saving Pappa.These photos show the damage Trich causes to the mouth parts of infected birds. As stated, he is on the flight path to recovery and will be returned to our balcony once the Vets are totally happy. His immune system will be strong and we hope he will have a resistance to Trich.
It is not an option to release him at Owl Rescue, as much as we want to (for his safety). He is territorial and wont be happy sharing and his is likely to fly home anyway.
Thank you to Brenden at Owl Rescue Center for visiting and monitoring him. And all the sterling work you and your team do for owls.

The only egg that survived doesn't seem viable (eggs were laid February 5 and 9). But female still incubates it and male brings food.

All three owlets are fine and grow fast, but their nesting place doesn't look so cosy as before. Lot of poops, pellets and leftovers of food.
But owlets itself look cute. Watch owl family on Wendy's photos at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elsmP3TfwSY

We've waited a long time and finally today was the day Pappa was brought back here and released. A huge big THANK YOU to the Owl Rescue Center and Bryanston Exotic and Avian Vet for caring for him so well.
We have realized that this is not the original Pappa based on how young he is. Somewhere in the past we must have lost the original Pappa, like we lost the original female.
But the good news is that this male is still a PPO Pappa who has claimed the balcony as his family's nesting spot.
Brendan from Owl Rescue Center released new Pappa who eventually flew off.
Ten minutes later, he flew back to the balcony... A sure sign that he's happy to be back!

from YT-chat: Les Moore: 5:07 momma got up and the egg was broken Les Moore: momma is grieving now. She will be ok
Inside was all liquid.
poor Mom, it's heartbreaking, she came back and sits on the broken shell,
certainly grieving
I'm sorry for the nice couple. All that long sitting in hard pouring rain and storm - all in vain.
I hope they will have better luck next time.

Owlets grow fast and will soon start to explore the vicinity of their nest ( BTW the additional platform installed by Wendy is very useful). Owlets got names # 1 Hawk, # 2 Hatch and # 3 Miles.
Although they may already feed themselves, they still like to be fed by Shadow.

The owl dad is a good food provider so far and the chicks grow fast. II hope that all of them will survive, although, as in Tawny Owls families, the smallest one has little chance
Now in the hollow it gets tight when the mother arrives.
Unfortunately, the IR lighting in the hollow is very poor. I hope that later the external camera will be installed and you will be able to watch owlets in the hollow entrance.
