Description
Baby Burrowing Owlets seem to listen intently as mama gives instructions. A cricket can be seen lying on the ground, so probably the mom brought it in to feed the babies and somehow in the process it fell. So actually the babies are most likely looking at mom for the food which is lying at their feet! These baby owlets, about two weeks old, are not too sharp yet when it comes to these things. :)
Burrowing owls are born underground in burrows, often these are burrows built by prairie dogs. They hunt crickets, grasshoppers, and other bugs, as well as small mammals such as mice, and small reptiles. They are excellent parents, bringing food to their babies until the young ones are hunting bugs for themselves, and even afterwards for a while.
The adults have barred chests; the babies start getting these barring marks as they get a little older. Baby burrowing owls can be very entertaining to watch as they run and jump and play with each other!
