Meet the Birds | Hiccup the Little Owl

[@andrewfleenor7459]

"Like throwing a paper bag in the breeze when he tries to fly" is possibly the most savage burn I've ever heard applied to a bird of prey. Poor guy. :D

It actually winked, too cute I'd die.

[@elizabethwhite2151]

“Unfortunately, that is just his face and he cannot change it.” He could not be more adorable. Thank you so much for your work with these magnificent birds and for your wonderful videos. They do our hearts good during a very difficult time in the world. 💜💜💜

[@PromisedJubilee]

When we lived in Wyoming (in the US) we had a little burrowing owl that lived in your yard, and he looked perpetually grumpy 😆 we loved him.

[@jgw5491]

He can't help that he has a "resting b_tch face". :-)

[@carrief102]

I love how he doesn't even wait for the fly command. He's just like "You are too far away, don't worry....I will come to you." 😍

[@jankent5677]

Hiccup says “ why do you keep plopping me over there, when I want to be over here!” What a cutie patootie !

Topic Idea - "Bird Body Language" - you talk about how you an tell their mental state by their physical state... Other signs such as health or illness. Its always a joy to see how you understand and care for your birds - From birth and through life. You're a wonderful "bird mom" :)

[@AK-jt7kh]

Yes! I second this!

[@FrenchPaul1988]

I don't think you'd get much about their health from body language. They'd rather try to conceal illnesses. However it can be helpful to know attitudes or behaviors that can be telling on the bird's mood.

[@peterjansen4826]

I did not even notice that Hiccup looks angrily, I have learned by now to look at the chest, feathers and movement, unconsciously.

[@ravenmorrigana1093]

Ditto. It was only when he looked straight at the camera that it came across as a stern/grumpy face. I only use animal markings to help me tell individuals apart.

[@ankansharma4897]

one of the cutest bird species. Love those big eyes

I used to go and visit a cute little owl in an old abandoned plane near to where I lived, it was so beautiful. Seeing them so closely is so nice, interesting and helpful knowing about them too. Thank you for being such a wonderful caregiver to these beautiful creatures, you do such a great job, and are so caring with all of your animals, you can tell that you truly love them and care about them.

I came for Fable, and have stayed for her, Hiccup and *all* the rest of your birds. (!!!!!) You honor us by sharing your work with us! Thank you, and Namaste. You rock!

[@Lady-Lilith]

170 grams! Wow... so tiny and adorable! I love how such adorable creatures can look so angry or even scary. This adorable owl may have RBF but he's seriously the cutest. I love how he's so talkative.

[@waynerogers864]

I have been fascinated with owls since I was a little boy (60+ years ago). Having grown up in an area of dozens of family dairy farms there were plenty about. The occasional sighting was always a real treat. Wouldn't mind hanging out with Hiccup for an afternoon.It would be be a real hoot for this old guy. Thanks for the share.

The little guys always have such a serious glare on them. Just like when you go down to the pub.

At about the 6:40 mark in the video, I was thinking of asking a question about the way he flies. I didn't even have to ask. I really enjoy your videos with all the birds. My wife gave me a great birthday present in the form of a day at a birds of prey center near me. They have days set aside for photographers and I will be going this Sunday. They do flight demonstrations with various birds just so photographers can get great flying photos. Thank you for sharing your passion for these amazing birds.

I love your videos. This Owl warmed my heart because we have a lot of owls in Marco Island, Fl and I think they are so precious. We are currently battling to keep owl sites protected. We put a barrier around the site to protect them but some people think it is not their space and cover the site. I love them. We as a people should respect all life but I guess that is too much to ask. IAny time I walk I see 2 separate sites and I look from far away. It is interesting how they can move their heads almost all the way around. I watch your videos every time you post and I love them. Just wanted to share some love. Barbara
