Thanks Janine, Misty and Debbie!

Janine, he is a very grumpy looking baby. Aren't they suppose to look like cute, happy puff balls?

Thank you Donna, they are still getting probiotics, eggfood and lots of foods that they can grow strong with....this clutch was definately different, think the parents did a better job in caring for them...there is no prolonged begging and they were virtually quiet in the box until right before they fledged.

Thanks Sally...I just checked the zebra nest that I put the two fertile eggs from the other pair of owls. The eggs were on the verge of hatching a week ago, there are two babies about a week old, the zebra eggs are about a week from hatching. The 2 babies hopefully are the owls, they look like it, they look good and will be unrelated to the the other 4. If these are owls the zebra pair are doing a good job.
