The Snowy Owl trains the chick to swallow prey

Snowy owls are an iconic species of the Arctic. Animal world of the Arctic. Birds of prey. Snowy owl on the nest, parenting behavior, animal sounds. A female Snowy Owl (named Zuzu) nested in year when there were few lemmings in the tundra. Zuzu laid only four eggs and all the eggs hatched. In the beginning, when the chicks were small, the number of lemmings caught by her partner was enough. But the owlets are growing rapidly and lemmings were not enough. The female also begins to hunt in such conditions and male prey a birds also. The male brought a prey (the Snow bunting) to the nest. Mom is persistently trying to feed the older (8-9 days old) of the chicks with a large pieces of prey. The owlet needs to learn to swallow food in large chunks in order to easily swallow the prey whole in a few days.

I always admire the fierce apetite of these tiny chicks and later bigger Owlets !. Incredible the quantities they can swallow 😮😅. Of course it is necessary they grow fast and strong 😊. Just amazing !

Thanks for your comment! According to some experts estimates, one Snowy owlet eats about 140 lemmings during its growth and dependence on its parents

В конце концов съела сама 😅 Глядя на Зузу, пришла мысль, что она наверное сама так выросла. И выросла ведь! ❤ Зузу и птенцы, все они такие замечательные! Как птенцы выросли за одну неделю - это удивительно и очень здорово! Спасибо большое за такое чудесное видео! 💖💖💖🌱
