I've seen about six barn owl nests, left them along, but watched the babies from a distance, through binoculars or a long lens camera. And they were sure cute. But mom tosses them out of the nest, and they fly--or don't. And if they don't, the drop like a brick. The video was cool to watch, but kinder than mother nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-86391295060630186792012-06-04T11:23:08.461-07:002012-06-04T11:23:08.461-07:00Don't need to worry about that one becoming de...Don't need to worry about that one becoming dependent on humans...<br />:-)Jedi Master Ivyannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22301740.post-26109257440498697032012-06-04T10:57:09.273-07:002012-06-04T10:57:09.273-07:00Is this commentary on individual views of dependen...Is this commentary on individual views of dependence and freedom?
