I have been collecting bits of footage of the first year with my owl. In this video I show how a one week old owl grows and develops into a fully grown bird of prey. Its like an episode of real life owl babies! Training birds of prey takes a lot of time and effort, but owls are different. Although not to be taken as a tutorial this video shows how to train an owl as well as how to raise an owl. Training an owl with falconry techniques can start at a much earlier stage than parent reared birds as we raise the owls by hand, this is called imprinting.

If you are thinking about getting an owl or have recently got a bird, this video is not what you should use as your source of information on how to train your owl. This is just a video showing a year with my owl, from picking us a chick all the way to flying an eagle owl.

Thank you for watching!

    What a beautiful owl. The bird seems really bonded to you. How lucky to have a majestic raptor as a companion.
  • 4:32 maybe it's just the wholesome music but he looks so excited to see snow for the first time then the way he looks at you, I swear it's like he knows you two are having a moment and he's trying to not be all emotional πŸ˜‚
  • The past few days has been a blast for my wife and I. I recently became a volunteer for owl and raptor in bc. Now I receive owl's when I get called for an emergency. So far handled and delivered a female screech owl and a extra small saw-whet female owl. Both successfully delivered for medical attention in relation of accidents "cars". My area has no one for these beauties so it makes me glad to be here to help.

    Beautiful owl sir ! I raised my EEO from 4 days old and it was the best thing I've ever done !! He's a bit stubborn when flight training but has the best attitude and is super calm
  • It amazing to see how they look and change from when they born in until they become adults πŸ‘β€πŸ˜€

    I have an owlet that had been given to me as a work at a veterinary clinic. It came in with spinal and brain damage. We believe it is about a week and a half old as it has just started opening its eyes. We're expecting it to make a full recovery and hopefully be able to migrate back into the wild
  • I have a few baby owls that were hatched by two wild owls on my property. I wanted to keep one chic as I thought this would be cool. But after watching this and realizing the responsibility of basically being the owls mate for life. I decided against it. Just too much responsibility. Thanks for the video.
  • Wow how he flies freely to you how beautiful - a very lucky bird to be allowed to fly freely clearly you have a meal in your had and he is hungry = well done.
