:sham3: Thanks Loza.
Nest of love indeed! Isn't it something how they allopreen each other. Altera is so affectionate with her owlets. I have yet to see her do that with the adopted owlet, but I could be missing it. Although, Principio is being well taken care of and well fed.

Altera spent some time with the kids today. They have really grown. Mom is in the planter. Primo is on the right facing the cam, Secundo has his back to the cam, and Principio (the adopted owlet) is under Mom's tail. Primo has explored the full ledge including the yucca plant and the ledge that extends beyond the yucca plant.

5:16 pm - Oklahoma time.

What a great video Loza. Rusty is so funny. He wants to see the kids. He thinks if he stares and hoots at Iris long enough, she'll give in, but no such luck today. :girlcrazy: Poor Rusty. Thankfully, he has gotten a glimpse of the kids on the rare occasions when Iris leaves the nest. These two are such characters. I love them.

I found a video of Altera and the kids preening the newly adopted owlet. This was on April 2nd, only a few days after the owlet was placed in the nest. I love the acceptance. :15heartbeat:

Altera spent some time today with the kids again. She kept Principio, the adopted owlet, company in the planter and I saw her preen the youngster. She offered everyone a leftover half rat, but no takers for lunch, so Mom gulped it down herself. I understand the kids are not keen on rat on the menu. They prefer rabbit.

I love when Rusty stares at Iris...he just wants to see his kids. Iris has really been keeping the little ones under cover. They are precious. All of them. I can't get enough of OKC either. Love them all. :15heartbeat:

They are all so big. Primo and Secundo enjoy perching on the Yucca plant at night. Primo has not yet made it to the railing, but that time is coming soon. Today, they all chose to hang out in the planter. It's amazing they still fit. Primo is at the far end of the planter with Principio in the middle and Secundo closest to the cam. Principio still likes to cuddle while Primo remains full of adventure and Secundo is more layed back. They are all self-feeding.

The oldest owlet came out from under Mom with eyes wide open and took in the world. That energy didn't last long before it tunneled back under Iris for a nap.

Thanks Loza. I finally had some time to check them tonight.

Rusty and Iris
7:57 pm - Rusty and the kids. Iris got off the nest and Rusty came in to admire his babies. He is so good with them. He relocated two mice from the outer edges of the nest and placed them in the nest bowl with the owlets. Once Iris flew back, he made a hasty retreat.
Image

I understand these owlets will not be released to the wild. They have been banded.

6:35 pm OKC time - Primo, the oldest owlet looking very grown-up

6:40 pm - Primo's close-up.

7:14 pm - From farthest to closest - Principio (Noob) the youngest adopted owlet, Primo the oldest in the middle, and Secundo.

Both Primo and Secundo have been perching on the rail and fledge should be any day now for Primo. Principio, who is also called PNoob has been perching on the Yucca plant. All doing well.

:clap: Primo fledged last night at about 10 pm and made a return visit to the nest with Altera, so this youngster appears to be doing well on the wing. Today, it's chilly and Secundo and PNoob are cuddling in a planter. Primo is not there. Looks like one of the cameras is gone. They had bad storms last night that appear to have knocked it out. The fledge seems to have occurred during removal of the camera. So, Primo may have been scared off the ledge.

Secundo and Principio-Noob (PNoob)

Here's a video of Primo doing some practice flights and getting good lift earlier yesterday. video courtesy Debbiemango.

The oldest owlet is a girl and the youngest is a boy. Two days ago, the little boy climbed out of the nest bowl for a meal. This morning, his older sister downed a whole rat for the first time. They are asking people to submit potential names that start with "S".

Primo was seen in a neighbor's yard yesterday and was calling for food last night. Altera was very vocal off nest at sunset. She is not usually heard and the moderator's thought she might be communicating with Primo. Secundo and PNoob were fed well last night and are huddling in a planter today.

:sum9: Secundo fledged last night. Strong flight to the adjacent balcony. This owlet was more than ready with nice short flights across the nest balcony and solid landings. Poor little Principio (PNoob) wanted to follow Secundo desperately and started hop flapping with awkward landings, wingercising, and perching on the rail after the fledge, but is still too young to go. PNoob stayed on the rail as close to Secundo as possible and kept a constant eye on the older sibling. These two have been close...ever since PNoob was added to the nest. He/she will miss those nest mates, but PNoob's turn will be soon enough and they'll be reunited. I understand the kids stay with the parents for 5 months. BTW - Primo was spotted on a neighbor's roof and is doing fine.

I stopped watching last night around 10:30 pm OKC time. Hopefully, all stayed well.
