Funny little birds, act dead aggressive in/around the mews but actually very nervous. I flew 2 a number yof ears ago, ok to fly when close to but over long distances in the open they feel very vulnerable and either won't fly or fly into bushes for cover.

He is two months old. But yes i will try to breed them next time around. Not sure how old they got to be tho. I have been told the smaller the bird the younger they breed. I breed two Kestels this year and the male was not even one so who no's.

Very cute :)

How much does he eat?
I notice you have a whole DOC on the glove - will he eat all that? Boobook, if you give her a complete chick (minus yolk), will eat all the best bits and leave the spine and the skin. So we chop up the DOCs for her into 3 then she'll eat it all.
Maybe we're being too soft?

Lee What else do you feed Bob?

I know you stated 1 DOC (day old chick) in the morning and a mouse in the evening, but what else insect wise I was thinking thats if you plan to feed them at all?. Do you or will you feed vitamins as well if so which ones?

Many thanks.

Meant to add great pics of this lovely native species - My Mum loves this breed along with her other fave the Great Gray talk about opposite ends of the spectrum :roll: Atleast the Little Owl is more affordable :P
