Klaara leaves the nest, unfortunately, of what we were all afraid occurred: more than two chicks in the nest, the hard reality of the wild life.

21:14 Klaara is out, there are 2 owlets (((((

[Abigyl]

They are bored; their "work" and playground are not there anymore.

Now they'll have to fight each other.

What sad happening - I had hope for these three owlets, they hatched so close to each other.

[Felis silvestris]

How sad!

21:14 Klaara is out, there are 2 owlets

I knew that since 13:28. They are cannibals. I can not understand this. Sorry, Maggy!

I woke up with a very bad feeling and went to read reports and I new what happened. I understand your feelings, Birdfriend. And it's a very, very sad, heartbreaking season, I was so hoping for a better one! But we have what we have, there is clearly not enough food, and when there is not enough food youngest owlets die. :((( And when they die they have to be eaten. The little one was not very active by the morning, I knew he was doomed. :((((

[Maggy]

Maybe it was Klaus?

I also thought it was Klaus, sometimes he comes to hide in the box.
I watched the video, I think it was Klaara.

09:33 Noise in the nest:
Klaara is jumping up and down because
Kisd are moving around and under her, and...
SomeOne is HUNGRY !

09:40 Klaara has some prey under her. She feeds one chick while the other Hungry chick is still calling.

10:00 Klaara is still digging and looks like she has some food and feeding, but someone is still hungry. Hope this is the scenario and not worse...

This is when it happened. After this very long feeding, the nest was quiet and they were resting most of the after noon.
During the event it looked a different feeding but I still wanted to have some hope.

[Maggy]

23:21 a bird delivery, I think it was Klaus, first he didn't know what to do


then he got down into the box and left the bird there

[Maggy]

22:23 the bigger one is checking on the bird

Sounds right. In the morning I couldn't watch them anymore, just couldn't...
And last year after Milda died it took 2 feeding. So later it was a second feeding, looks like. That's why they are not hungry tonight and Klaara was in the nest box longer.

April 24th

00:14 the chicks are sleeping
00:17 they woke up

[PINKELUZA]

The bird is too big so that the chicks can swallow it.
