Snowy owls are an iconic species of the Arctic. Animal world of the Arctic. Birds of prey. Snowy owl on the nest, parenting behavior, animal sounds. It was a warm evening, which rarely happens in this part of the world. The Snowy Owl (named Didi) got a lemming from the male and is feeding her many chicks. She laid 9 eggs in the spring. Now she has eight owlets of different ages. The younger ones are still small, helpless and blind - the female has to keep them warm. The older ones are already quite independent in thermoregulation and can keep the younger ones warm on their own. Owls begin incubation by laying their first egg. Therefore, their chicks may have a big difference in age and size. In this nest, the oldest owlet hatched 18 days before the youngest and has already eaten several dozen lemmings. We observe Peace and Tranquility in this large family of Snowy Owls. There is no aggression between owlets of different ages here. You can watch more videos of the Didi family on my channel @snowyflyer in the Snowy Owl “D“ playlist.
