Eurasian Eagle-owl Nest Owlets squabble over prey 6-4-2017

Male brings in 2 deliveries but owlets are still squabbling over food -- not as much prey so fighting to keep what is theirs -- this video is edited to parts where squabbles occurred

The nest is probably the most beautifully constructed I've seen. Perfectly flat base, uniform side wall of very nice greenery wrapped around a feature tree trunk, wall a nice safe height with a practical gap just wide enough to allow for easy landing and departure, and unusually clean and tidy. Really a beautiful nest.

Almost a nice place to for a good nights sleep on a nice summer evening, a good pillow and a light blanket, owlets cuddling and father owl telling stories

My thoughts exactly

[@austin1839]

I find it crazy how some people think they know how to raise these owlets better than their parents.

Which one is "Bad Leroy Brown"?????

[@jemroses1]

When there is not enough food brought in for all of them to have there will be fights......the mother and dad owls know there are three owlets not TWO!!!!!!

[@08dsfree]

They are either starving or mmean.😋

[@polo7422]

it is a matter of survival so not mean just wanting to make sure they survive - have to fight for what they need

She should tear the mice up and give some to each.

Eurasian owls .... half Asian half European ?

Not the loving sibs you see in some nests! Even when food wass stolen in the Barred Owl nest I recently watched the owlets still got along pretty well. The two having the food stolen by the oldest unified! I wonder if that is coincidence or do youngsters know to band together against the bully?!

Because of their being green conifer branches in the nest, I strongly believe this nest is man made! It would be too difficult for these birds or Eagles to break green branches off a tree. Good idea and great nest design.

Too sad abouth that little owlet. His siblings is too greedy.
