This video was filmed and shown for educational and informational purposes to illustrate the correct feeding of owls living at home.
The video is useful for those who are thinking about getting an owl. The video shows scenes of proper owl nutrition. Viewing is not recommended for people who cannot see how predators feed.
Daytime birds of prey and owls at home should eat the same as in nature. They should not be given clean meat, fillets cut into pieces, cat food, etc. The owl needs whole carcasses of rodents and birds. But it is impossible to give newborn chickens on a regular basis of the diet. The chickens have not fully formed bones, the composition of vitamins and minerals is not balanced.
The most optimal food for large owls is rats weighing 120-150 grams. It is necessary to give whole carcasses so that the bird itself tears off pieces, using physical force, training neck muscles and sharpening the beak.
Medium-sized owls should be given mice.
Rats and mice are sold in special stores, already prepared and frozen. They are bred on special farms for animal feed.
Some owls can sometimes be given quail carcasses, but rodents must be present in the diet!
If you are not ready to feed the owl properly, you do not need to start it. Without proper nutrition, the owl will get sick, suffer and its life will end quickly.
