Owlets are already big. When will we choose names to them?

There is no use to give them names now, they'll be gone soon.

Hi all

Compilation little ones in the window. Between 20:13 - 20:29

[Maggy]

Great Fleur!

We call them Big and Small

Right Hellem! Family names for this family!
We call kids of this family like that every year!

21:42 Small is hardly visible in the window, Big keeps trying to get there too
another attempt

21:43 Big gets into the window and looks like pushes Small out

21:44 Big is in the window, I can hear Small is moving and making sounds outside
21:45 I can hear Small is moving outside
21:46 Big steps out and comes back into the window
21:47 on the way back into the box

[Sja30]

Did small left the box?

[Maggy]

Sja30, yes, looked like Small was pushed out of the window.
21:47 is it Big who is back to the box?

21:48 I can hear another one is moving outside and is making happy sounds

21:49 that's too much, I need to rest now!

[Fleur]

Oh, I was in the kitchen.
Are they left ?

Yes, One.......

21:59 I was busy with the movie, in the meantime the second is gone too ( and have no movie from that moment )

[Sja30]

I think they both gone

[Maggy]

21:52 what should I do next?

21:53 the owlet is making happy sounds and hungry sounds, I think it is Small

should I get into the window?

Sja30, they tricked us!!!

[Maggy]

( and have no movie from that moment )

Maybe Shanta will be able to record that.
Shanta, thank you for all the videos of the last owlet's day in the nest box!!!
WOW, that was unexpected!!!
I still cannot believe it!
They didn't wait for Hellem or for better names!
This season is so, so different! They are 30 days old and usually they leave around that time, but it could be different too. I thought they were slow, but in one day they just started doing everything while I was sleeping!!!
21:54 Small gets into the window

21:55 Small is balancing in the window

21:56 Small is moving in and out of the window
and then Small steps out

[Hellem]

21:54 Small jumped on the window again
21:56 It seems that Small jumped out

I think that Big left at 21:43

Suddenly we have an empty nest box, have a happy life little owlets

Maggy , I was here

[Fleur]

that was really unexpected. I have no recording at all.

I hope also Shanta can help

I wish both owlets all the best in the big wide world !!!!

[Maggy]

Hellem, so unexpected, right?
This year everything was different! So interesting to watch how different it could be!
Now we'll be listening how they call for food from outside.
They both were the sweetest kids ever!!!

[Maggy]

Hellem, good you were here, I was around, but very busy, couldn't pay much attention.
And Abigyl, they didn't even wait for Friday eve!!! How could they!!!???

[Hellem]

Yes, so unexpected end, they surprised us again, they were very cute owlets

Thank you very much Maggy, Fleur, Shanta

Fleur, good you were with us this year all season long!
Abigyl, I hope you'll be able to see how they left!

[Hellem]

[Abigyl]

All

I saw this afternoon the "wings festival" in the box.

Later I saw on the phone that suddenly box was empty. Looked to me it's a little early but they were hungry and wanted to see where food comes from.

Since they were only 2, things were easier for them.

It's very hard to watch this nest without an external cam. In other owls nests in Europe they have 2-3 cams and we can watch the complete season even when they are branching, like now.
I'm sure we'll hear them around in the next days.

Good luck nice kids! wish you much food an good health

[Abigyl]

On 2013, I watched them for the first year, there were also only 2 cute kids.

We saw them leaving on the cam and it was very special (for me).
