▶️ The Snowy Owl feeds her little blind chicks



Nov 15, 2022

The female offers food to her blind chicks by making specific sounds.

During breeding, the snowy owl can lay up to 14 eggs. They nest in the harsh conditions of the tundra ecosystems in the Arctic and they begin to lay their eggs in May, when winter is still going on in Nature, but the first thawed patches appear. Nests are arranged on the ground on separate thawed patches. Females begin incubation with the first egg. The interval between laid eggs is two days. Incubation of one egg lasts about 33 days. In newborn owls, the eyes open on the 9-10th day. The female owl should sit tightly on the nest to warm the eggs and small chicks. The male is feeding the female all this time.
