The Owlets Are Here! The Owlets Are Here!

This is the time of year when many owl eggs are or have hatched, and little blind fuzzy owlet balls are screeching for mama and food.

They are so cute! Just watch this video:

But there are more to come. Owlets can be hatching till the end of May.  For most owl specie, the fledglings remain in the nest for several months. They then will venture out to near-by branches while they perfect their flying skills. By fall, they will be ready to fly out on their own.

 So, in tribute to baby owls, this week's featured items are for... you guessed it..... Babies!  After all, we love human babies, too.

It's spring! Time for starting anew and, yes, some spring cleaning, too.  For owls, that means finding the right nest and adding the right touches for the precious soon-to-be owlets.  

Unlike other birds, owls don't build their nests from scartch; they just move into abandoned nests or burrows of other birds and mammals, or hollow trees, depending on the species. But of course, a little redecorating is always in order. For the Burrowing Owls, that means adding a little touch of cow manure to hide their sent from predators. Ugh, but, pretty smart, really. Generally, though, they use leaves, sticks, and whatever else they can find to make the nest more comfy.

Not unlike humans, where a little added or spruced up decorating does much to liven up an old room; but unlike the owls, it doesn't need to be only for soon-to-be babies. 

 So, time to clear out that stale winter air in our homes and add some fun and colorful decorating items with, of course, cute owls!
