Congratulations! Your owls look like the perfect parents, they keep the nest completely clean, plenty of material and loads of chicks! Good luck!

The're all in seperate 42"x16"x16" cages with optional divider for nest checks, this season has been slow to start but is going well now with over 50 chicks in nests at moment between owls, bengies and parrot finches, having to plan extra cages/flights at moment for when chicks are weaned in a few weeks.
It took the owls 1 or 2 attempts to get things right but once first pair got it right in view of other pairs they soon followed suit.

They're so cute! Congratulations! I was lucky enough to sit with someone at the bird mart who was hand feeding baby owls. They're so tiny!
