Pound for pound, Barn Owls consume more rodents – often regarded as pests by humans – than possibly any other creature. ✿ We remind viewers that sometimes owlets may not survive - the parents will dispose of things in "The Owl Way" -viewer discretion is advised, this is nature and the "Owl way". ✿ ~ ✿ “Animals, like us, are living souls. They are not things. They are not objects. Neither are they human. Yet they mourn. They love. They dance. They suffer.

Adventures With Mel & Syd

With warm temps yesterday afternoon, the Mr.Mister was turned on, a small leaky creek appeared inside and her biggest issue was where the leak was coming from :),
Syd was hot but comfortable. Everything worked according to the Kanga plan with the mister and it cooled the box down by at least 5 degrees inside.

She left the box at 8:33pm. Screeches & deets heard 11:01 & 12:18am.
Syd landed on the roof 3:41, looked around then took off 4:02 after hearing the sweet voice of Mel deeting. Several screeches & deets heard since. UFO plopped down from the palmz onto the roof 5:04.

UFO (was it Mel or Sydney) checked out the Mister, jumped to the porch 5:07, looked inquisitive then flew towards the trees a minute later. Syd appeared on the PG 5:46am, leaped up to the porch and into the Kastle 5:48.
