FINCHforum

I am so excited I have had these two owl finches since April and could not determine male or female. It wasn't until last week that I saw mating several times that I got my hopes up.. This morning I went in to say good morning and noticed one of the owls in the nest just sitting there. I wonder what is going on so after it left the nest I took a peek and I found 3 yes 3 eggs . I have been dreaming of having baby owls... This can't be happening but it is.... I haven't checked to see if they are fertile as I wanted to get in and out fast so as not to scare them. Now its a wait and see game.....

So happy for you Sherry Here`s hoping they are fertile and they make excellent parents

YAY!!!
best of luck

Oh Sherry that's awesome! I'm getting two owl girls in October to be mates with my 2 males. I cannot wait to breed them!

Any idea what size clutch they have?

Mine have laid between 6 and 7 eggs Now if I could just teach them that after they hatch, they have to be fed

Are they not good parents? I am hoping mine are....

Sherry that is fabulous! Keep us posted.

I think whether they are good parents or not varies greatly and may also depend on their experience level.

Cindy may read this and have some more insightful comments -- I just have two pairs and they have been molting/separated for the last few months but I did have a good experience with one pairs skills -- they were excellent parents even though I lost all but one of the clutch of five after weaning.

Oh that's awful! I hope they have good luck I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Woot-woot! Finally, Owls on our side of the continent I'm very excited for you! fingers crossed for sweet cuddily baby owls and good parents!!! (I may want to buy some from you one day !
Shhhh don't tell my husband...

What those birds!! Oh I have had those a long time...

That's what I always said to my hubby when he asked about a pair of shoes Oh these old shoes.

Would love to sell you some. I go to Olympia once in a while.

So glad I'm not alone in this one. I tell him, I was wondering how many months it would take you to notice these ones.

Mine usually lay four eggs at a time. Congratulations.

I checked the Owl nest this morning and i found 5 beautiful eggs.
She spends lots of time in the nest wonder if she is done laying.
