Snowy owls are an iconic species of the Arctic. Animal world of the Arctic. Birds of prey. Snowy owl on the nest, parenting behavior, animal sounds.
Snowy owl (named Didi) nest. Summer time in the Arctic. Didi laid 9 eggs in spring. Now she has 8 owlets of different ages. The younger ones are still small, helpless and blind - the female must warm them. The older ones are already quite independent for thermoregulation and can themselves warm the younger ones.
Owls begin incubation by laying their first egg. Therefore, their owlets can have a big difference in age and size. In this nest, the older one hatched 18 days earlier than the younger one and has already eaten several dozen lemmings. Parents are very busy catching prey and feeding offspring.
