Two Tawny Owl Chicks Are Adopted by Wild Owls | Rescued & Returned to the Wild | Robert E Fuller

This is the tale of two orphaned tawny owl chicks that have now been successfully rehabilitated into the wild. Their story is particularly unusual because they were fostered by a wild tawny owl family living in my garden.

ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Two tawnys successfully adopted
After rescuing these owls, I fed them until they were strong enough. I then placed them with wild owls that live in the valley below my art studio and the adult owls soon adopted them, feeding them alongside their own clutch of baby tawny owls.
Eric & Ernie
Like their comic namesakes, Eric and Ernie, are a very entertaining tawny owl duo and their story is a heart-warming tale of rehabilitation into the wild.

Imagine coming home and seeing two random children😂

[@fatdogz5777]

“Feed me mother” O-O

[@laurakastrup]

Surprise adoption.

[@leocush2653]

Wait that's not where children come from? My mom has some serious explaining to do.

[@alexia3552]

"The owls are sending us children again"

[@spagsauce]

online shopping works really well

[@ahmadtheIED]

Robert: Whistles Owls: Yea yea I'm coming

[@Demont]

It's amazing how these owls are willing to get so close to you

[@EmyN]

Free food 🤷‍♀️

[@TuberoseKisser]

Food will make any animal come close.

[@patty7791]

Robert: You’re “simply the best! “ No one else comes close! THANK YOU!

[@lucypucy6961]

Free food, don't need to work hard wy not. Fat yamy dinner

[@KaleighMacKay]

So cute! So fluffy :)

[@RobertEFuller]

Glad you enjoyed - I thought you’d like to see Bomber who is currently a bit of a terror of the barn owl live cam. He is actually a great parent and this summer he took on Eric and Ernie the surrogate chicks as well as his own brood - respect ✊ can’t wait to go onto a live cam on these soon...

[@seabirdsdontfall9805]

OK now I have a new respect for Bomber, the resident villain of the Barn Owl universe. Lovely to see these Tawny Owls. Love your work Robert.

[@kylec.8350]

You are amazing and very good with wild animals inn general.

[@robinsmith1091]

I love how well birds of prey care for young

Wow. I find it amazing the adults will take in orphaned owls... and they come pickup prey when you call. Totally fascinating!

[@Sigridovski]

It is fun how Eric and Ernie sit together in a tree and not together with the other four chicks.

[@aileen694]

Those babies are incredibly cute! Even their eyelashes are fuzzy! With Robert's accent, at first I thot he was saying "toenails!" Wonderful work you do, Robert.

[@mortalclown3812]

It's amazing that you can keep up with their different appearances and tell them apart at a distance, too. Here's to your astonishing work with wildlife, Robert. Blessings on your path always.

[@gravedigger1454]

Having these amazing reatures coming this close to you must be the most amazing feeling as well as the best reward for a job well done! I envy you, sir!

[@todrapayne]

I would feel really cute if I had eyelashes like Ernie's. 😁

[@ellengarcia4041]

They are just the cutest little creatures... adorable. Those fluffy eyes just make your heart melt! Nature is so wonderful. We as humans are so wrapped up in trivia need to stop and smell the roses and open our eyes to the nature that surrounds us. Thanks so much Robert for giving us this valuable insight which we would never have the opportunity to even contemplate from the other side of the world.

[@nnsllvn2]

the 2 little owls stuck together how nice for Bomber to adopt them.

[@Preacher_.]

That's so cool of you to provide some extra food for the orphaned chicks especially because you're doing it in a way that doesn't jeopardize their chances of being able to survive in the wild.

[@juliescott9485]

Stunning video Robert. How wonderful that adults owls will look after little orphan owls awa their own. What a wonderful owl world. I just adore owls. Cute wet hair-dos too! Thanks so much

[@displayname5100]

I just need to comment on you wearing protective gear instead of investing in getting the adult owls to accept you. That REALLY proves you put these owls' best interests first. Thank you!! You're an amazing person!!!!

[@mikemoffitt8645]

🏆 Robert,Please Except This Reward For Being The Very Best of Humanity

[@jennyc1164]

I love coming back to these earlier videos and reminding myself of all the owlets that @Robert E Fuller has rehabilitated. Each one is special. Thank you so much Robert for the joy and insight you give us 🙏💚

[@xyz7572]

Eric and Ernie are so cute!! It’s so good to see them sitting next to each other in the tree, warming and comforting each other. 🥰 And really cool to see you out feeding them by helping the adults find food! And I love their wet hairdo-s 😂 Amazing video, thank you Robert 😌👏

[@ilavazquez458]

I'm just very happy ☺️ that this kind gentleman does so much for birds & animals! He does justice to wildlife & to his country too! I much enjoy all the beautiful photos & his art & the wonderful videos!

[@tarabunch4112]

I'll never get tired of owlet headbobs

[@makmak151515]

That is one patient man. I had no idea owls would adopt the little buggers

[@BeautyDaughtMom]

I just wanted to let you know, what you bring to the world, through your actions, your videos, is true love and beauty. Thank you. I would absolutely love to have an experience such as you live, daily. But, thanks to your videos, I am able to learn, enjoy, love and live vicariously through you and the amazing animals you feature. Thank you & God bless you! ❤️Shelbie =)xo

[@Blue24Osprey]

What a remarkable, incredible look into the lives of Tawnies. Magnificent, fantastic, lovely, interesting and beautifully photographed vid! A million thanks!

[@anna-rosephipps3132]

Eric and Ernie !

[@missthang4982]

I just died seeing the fledged owlets soaked!! 🤣 🤣 Lol

[@Chemically_boosted_Camille]

The comments on these videos make it sooo much better 🥰

[@RobertEFuller]

Thanks 😊

[@hArtyTruffle]

Ernie - “‘what do you think of the show so far?” Eric - “It’s rather nice here, don’t you think?” 😏

[@MosmMAli]

wow the parent owls feel a moral obligation to feed the foster owls how angelic not even some humans feel that urge

[@ahmaddanish4061]

Roberts the kind of guy when he was born he comfort his parents and named them .

[@erichhitchcock3368]

Wow, how blessed you are Robert. I must share something. It's because of a cardinal why I have two daughters (I have a spiritual relationship with birds). Back in early 2001, I was living in Watertown, Massachusetts,US (it borders Boston and Cambridge)...I had just moved there after a four year relationship. I had a large picture window, and was on the telephone with an aunt in Connecticut; as I talked, I watched the snow falling. Just then a male cardinal lands on the outside sill, looking in at me...next thing you know, I just blurt out to my aunt, "I'm moving back to Connecticut." It surprised me just as much as her. Cardinals were the signature bird of her mother, who was my father's mother. Within a short time, I was back in my home state. I was asking myself why I'd left the lovely Boston area for the Hartford area once again after being away for twelve years. I found out! On my way home one day, I stopped at a convenience store. There was a pub/restaurant just off of the parking lot there, as I was getting out of the car, I heard my internal voice say, "Go in there, you will meet someone." (it was not like me to just change course). I went in, and walked right over to the waitress, who became my wife. While we divorced in 2015...I have two wonderful daughters in my life. Thanks Grandma!

[@rachaelrogers2104]

Thank you Robert for sharing these priceless and educating moments.. I appreciate all the things you do.

[@realkangaroocafevietnam]

Thanks Robert, you're a champion. You're kindness & caring has affected me deeply. Thanks so much.

[@traceythomas3027]

Just recently found these videos. Absolutely great to watch! Thank you for all you do for these beautiful creatures.

[@RobertEFuller]

Glad you like them!

[@thomaswilleborts6771]

Great documentary,Robert! I am a big bird loving person and yes owls included. They have the ability to hunt in silence because of their special feathers. This owl in Belgium is called Bos-uil. I do love his coat and the darkbrown eyes. It's very cute to see them evolve and flew out from the nest. Hihi,the wet-heads are waiting for food in the trees. What a beautiful,fast and close encounter when they pick up the food you gave the parent to feed the youngsters. I really enjoyed this video so well. Thanks to you,Robert🪶🪶🪶🦉

[@RobertEFuller]

Thanks 😊 glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@lucypucy6961]

Robert, you very good 👍,,mom,, for this chick's 😃 . Love 💘 ❤ 💖 💕 your video, & my kids 18 & 14 y.o. too!

[@sarahwig1]

Absolutely incredible, thanks for sharing. They are so beautiful.

[@rosalindaramirez6286]

WOW!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! THANK YOU!!😇

[@clarkelliott5389]

We have "Barred" owls where I live. The male and female call to each other throughout the day, but mainly at night. Beautiful and graceful flyers.

[@dudebromisterjake]

These are some of the most breathtakingly majestic toenails I've ever laid eyes on.

[@jaynesvijeo249]

Bless wild animal rehabbers! It isn't an easy job.

[@elainereed4842]

You are appreciated more than you’ll ever know. Absolutely love your videos, Thankyou so much!

[@GlitzyWitch]

It's so good that the wild owls take in orphaned owl, beautiful ❤️

[@theresaprice310]

Amazing the adults take care of the adopted chicks also

[@hazelwood-wi9sk]

The BBC, National Geographic, et al, should buy your videos to distribute them for educational purposes. They are absolutely wonderful!

[@grawham]

That scene by the feeding post was REALLY COOL and a smart way of mixing up these sorts of videos. Not that they were getting boring or anything, but I love seeing how you are developing and improving the videos on your channel!

[@claudiahbabic5102]

It's like the adults are going to the supermarket hahaha. Momma owl, "Hey boys... I'll be back in a flash, going to REF to get some stuff for dinner..." Such a cool life you have!

[@cellinimedusa4679]

Bless you and all you do for God’s beautiful creatures

[@RobertEFuller]

Thanks 😊

[@user-fd9sz8er1r]

Very beautiful young owls 🦉🦉 I love this video 🥰😍🤩

[@umfuli]

Thank you for your video. I have an owl nesting box here in France, just waiting for new residents. I hope that this year will be the year. Thank you again.

[@RobertEFuller]

Best of luck!

[@beth-rg8bm]

You have like the best job in the whole world.

[@stockholmpearlsandviews4772]

Thank you for sharing this with us Robert. They are interesting and stunning birds.

[@jonankrah]

What an amazing film. Thank you for sharing something so positive! Made me laugh, and I have a lot of admiration and respect for you because I’d expect to see a film of such quality on main stream TV, but it seems you did it without a film crew and all the expense that goes along with one. Well done 👏

[@georgia19801]

Amazing video. What beautiful eyes these owls have

[@austin1839]

Animals will treat their own kind better than humans treat each other.

[@moggy992]

I agree 👍

[@Sigridovski]

Oh, now I can clearly see that they are happy and feel much better when they are in the nest box, than in captivity before. But how on earth do you know that wild owls that are not their parents will foster them and feed them?

[@RobertEFuller]

Just I was brought up on a farm and used to do it with hens ducks lambs et. and tried it with wild birds and for the most part it works

[@KellieEverts--conductsNightTra]

Robert Fuller is my fave bird presenter. He makes it fascinating. I'm sharing with friends on my mailing list.

[@juliegogo2941]

I see a light hearted movie about you and the WILD wildlife. With a bit of humor. Thanks

[@000oasis]

Are those whiskers around their beak? They are so adorable!! 💖❤️❤️😍 their wet head hair style really made my day lol 😂

[@theempath8244]

Drowned owls. Gorgeous Owls. Thank you for looking after them and letting them go wild again.

Robert, your passion for these magical owls is inspiring. Thank you for doing this and bringing these wonderful images to us. Eric and Ernie are quite handsome!

[@amandah2490]

Amazing that the wild owls will adopt other chicks!

[@xyz7572]

So lovely to see that they were adopted by two owl parents 🥰❤️❤️❤️

[@mizsparkie5479]

It is beyond wonderful to see these owls like this, how thrilling to see the parent come down to grab the mice.
