Trillian, the very Powerful Owlet stretching her wings.
POwlet siblings in a Brisbane conservation park.

An Owlet and adult Powerful Owl, one looking more alert than the other. The owlet's sibling was roosting alone 30m away but joined them at dusk, triling loudly, playing with bark, and head bobbing to get a sense of everything around it. Always special to watch. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A Powerful Owlet in a Brisbane park. When it's warm they'll sit high and you get a better look at those impressive talons. These juveniles practice hunting skills by 'attacking' leaves, bark and unwieldy looking sticks they've snapped off mid-flight. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

We checked in on the Powlets who may be without an adult after a nearby adult was taken into care, due to poisoning. They've moved to their non-breeding roost, and although we didn't see an adult, they are being fed, and they have been moved, so at least one adult is around #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A pair of Powerful Owlets looking fierce. We've been checking in on this pair after an adult was taken into care not far from their roost www.actforbirds.org/ratpoison. So far we've only seen one adult around, luckily that's not unusual. Both Powlets look well, and fed. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

This pair of Powerful Owls took some serious detecting work to find. They had been seen in some unlikely roost spots so it was a good day to finally track them down. Even better to see them both, one, the male this time, had breakfast. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

A little leftover something after brining up a pellet. It's hard to know what it is, POwlets often practice hunting while waiting for breakfast. I watched this one fly in, grab a piece of bark with its talons, land overhead and start ripping strips off it. I imagine they accidently eat some. #birds

Bringing up a pellet is hard work for a Powerful Owlet. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Following reports of an injured adult nearby I went out to check on this family. I could only find the Owlets, and they looked well. At this time of year the adults don't call much and can be harder to find. Time to look again. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Congratulations to the Tawny Frogmouth on being crowned bird of the year 2025. This one, named Ralph by my daughter and friends, looks suitably pleased with the accolade.

Not much bothers this female Powerful Owl, she often roosts over busy paths in a Brisbane park. Yesterday an incoming international flight caught her eye, and she tracked it as it flew across the sky. #birds

Time to vote for POwls again :)🦉

A Powerful Owl pair roosting in a Brisbane park earlier today. Sometimes it's tricky to work out who's who, but when they're so close together it gets easier, female on the left. Don't forget to vote POwls for bird of the year today. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Day 3 of voting @australia.theguardian.com Tawny's can be cute, for a not-an-owl, but POwlets have that cuteness factor in multiples!

A female Powerful Owl with her powerful talons and fierce stare. They made it through day 1, time to vote again for the Powerful Owl in @australia.theguardian.com Australian bird of the year 2025.

Voting is open for Australian bird of the year! Time to vote #1 for Powerful Owls! @australia.theguardian.com. All POwls are special but here's a particular favourite, Trillian from a few years ago.

An Australian King Parrot feeding low. I moved here over 20 years ago and to see such exotic birds hanging out in the local park is still as captivating as the first time. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

Some Powerful Owlets stay close to their nest tree, some move to the non-nesting roost sites nearby, and some seem to go much further. This photo was taken when the owlet was newly fledged, & was a new family for us. We've been back to check in on them. So far, without luck #birds #wildoz #brisbane

It doesn't take long before the Powerful Owlet loses interest and goes back to sleep. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

The Powerful Owlets are inquisitive about every sound. This one was watching the Noisy Miners fly past at dusk. #birds #wildoz #brisbane
