ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________
Tawny owl incubation
Owls need three times as much energy to keep their eggs warm as they incubate. The crisp weather outside means Luna's working even harder to her body temperature up.
Luna and Bomber
But thankfully her partner Bomber is an experienced owl and keeps up regular food deliveries. These eggs are due to hatch any day now. Keep watching the livescreens to see the chicks!

Her little “shudder” with tail hanging out of her mouth…. I felt that 😂

[@veramae4098]

Luna's hungry. She downed that whole rat.

[@Nyxcha]

now that was a big rat ._.

[@user-lq4ct6dr5m]

This season is starting off great

[@AngelsonEarth69]

I love how he slowly backs away when she's eating.

[@cathymcglasson6947]

And she ate it whole

[@AC-ni4gt]

@@cathymcglasson6947owls and birds don't have the same eating and digestive systems as humans. That's why there's a bunch of little oval-shaped objects all over nests. Owls hurl back out what they can't digest into those objects called "pellets".

[@cathymcglasson6947]

@@AC-ni4gt very true

[@ingridbond3432]

Such a satisfied satiated look of serene contentment - complete w a little rat tail hanging down from her beak. 😁🌿💗🌸

Luna needs her energy great job bomber

[@beanbeanster7219]

I love how Luna so often looks at your camera at some point. It's almost as if she knows a possible 763000 people could be watching her. Thanks for sharing this with us Robert.

[@mirandamartin4001]

Luna and Bomber are the ultimate team. Hopefully the other 3 eggs hatch after what happened

[@Tom-ym7bm]

What happened? I was away

[@Josephe-Anne]

​@@Tom-ym7bm Gylfie the barn owl tried to enter Luna's nest. One of the eggs ended up cracked in the scuffle.

[@Tom-ym7bm]

@@Josephe-Anne Thanks! So sorry to Luna! Glad to be caught up & cannot wait to see if the other 3 will hatch. 👍

[@killbot86]

A full video from a couple of weeks ago showed that two eggs have already hatched while the other two eggs failed.....

[@daftirishmarej1827]

Luna is now stuffed. We all know that feeling!

[@Master_Petes_Theater]

Glad I'm not a rat! That's a big one! No wonder Luna had to pause a bit between swallows. I'm sure she was happy when she finally downed that long tail!

Bless her little heart, she looks so content after eating that big meal.❤❤

[@julieito9523]

That was hard to watch. It looked a bit challenging for her to consume. Good catch by Bomber !

[@lyngruen8607]

HOW does she NOT GAG?!! WOW! 😂🦉🦉

[@Foxie770]

It’s incredible they can swallow rodents whole!!!

[@clintevans1921]

You know it’s kinda funny. We watch these amazing videos and the tender moments with each other and their chicks. And then you watch them swallow a rat whole and you’re like..🤢🤢🤣🤣. For owls, instead of Taco Bell, they have Rat Bell! 😂

[@PC-dc1kv]

Wow, how did she eat that whole rat?! She obviously doesn’t have GERD. 😳

[@carollunn3370]

OMG!!! Scared down the whole thing!! How do they digest this, Robert? Wow!!!!! I think she may be fu & content for a while!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I can't believe she got that down holy

[@harrietrose4718]

The face of happiness and contentment bless them

[@saspredydious9295]

My goodness. How on earth do they swallow something so big in one piece. I thought they ate these creatures in pieces. Similar to how they feed the chicks. Time to go on a DuckDuckGo journey! Thank you, Robert. Fascinating!

[@denisechetty4019]

What a wonderful couple❤.

Hopefully Bomber gets to check out his young kiddos this time lol 😂😂

Ever the best documentary I've watched. Me affected when I see the Tawny Owls at the first time. Even now I'm happy whenever I see them Luna and Bombar. 😊

Holy crow.....or rather, rat! LOL Incredible they can down that whole! Excited for chicks to come! I finally figured how to find the live feeds. 😁🙏💜🙏💜

Luna may need some Alka Selzer after that.

I’ve never seen an adult owl eat before. Like you, I assumed they would tear the prey item into pieces as they do for the chicks. Boy, was I wrong! Big Gulp!

[@annadobie8383]

Crazy. Does the owl have to regurgitate the bones or can she digest them?

Owls produce a pellet which contains undigested matter such as bones and fur.
