Some cultures consider it a blessing to have a Barn Owl's nest in your home. I would love to have one!🦉

I got to watch a family of barn owls that roosted in a palm tree across the street from me. I saw their two offspring fledge from the nest! It was so beautiful and exciting!💕🦉🦉💕

Hi, I made the file with the translation of the subtitles into Galician, if you want you can add them to the video, just copy the text below in the notebook and save it with .SRT extension instead of .TXT. That .SRT file can now be added to the video directly in KZbin Studio. Congratulations on the job and thank you so much for showing it. Greetings! (The file to be copied starts after this line) Ola, fixen o ficheiro coa tradución dos subtítulos ó galego, se queren poden engadilos ó vídeo, tan só é copiar o texto de abaixo no bloc de notas e gardalo con extensión .SRT en vez de .TXT. Ese ficheiro .SRT xa pode ser engadido ó vídeo directamente en KZbin Studio. Parabéns polo traballo e moitas grazas por amosalo. Saúdos!

Saving animals like this hurts the natural balance. Birds have fallen out of nests and died for millions of years. This is the reason most animals have more than 1 offspring when they breed.

[@user-lq4ct6dr5m]

I think it okay for saving the chick , one chick will help raise the number of the species

[@annafowdy]

Well, barn owls are quite rare in certain parts of the world.

[@brakefluidbrain]

Feeding rats by leaving garbage around hurts the balance too
