Over at the critter cam at The Wildlife Center of Virginia, both Barn Owls on “practice” live prey training.
These practice sessions should enable the young Barn Owl to observe the hunting skills of the adult Barn Owl. While this isn't something that is required for a young raptor to hunt successfully, it is beneficial if the option is possible!
Watch the Critter Cam this evening to see how the practice session goes for both owls.
