My Siblings For A Bed

A young Barn Owl nestled in a pile of seven other barn owls. She was the oldest of the lot, and the best fledged. Barn owls are the most common babies received at the raptor rehabilitation center because they lay large clutches, often in vicinity to people.

At the center, barn owls babies are encouraged to be self-feeding as soon as possible (usually within two weeks at the latest) and are housed with other barn owls close to their age group. They like to huddle.
