Thank you. A couple of years ago I made one for @lucyparkerpaul.bsky.social as a Christmas present, then got a bit jealous decided I needed one myself 🙂

Worryingly, there was a hunting arrow on the ground only a few tens of metres from the Owlets. The Powerful Owl Project is reporting this to both the police and the council. As well as being a danger to wildlife, the arrow was only about 50m from a pretty busy walking/cycling track.

Thank you!

I'm not eligible, but the left one pops more for me.

Thanks, Amanda,you are very kind.

Sure, as my boy observed when he was 5 or 6, survival of the cutest. It's a problem in what we select as worthwhile. And I know you're not taking shot at me. But having watched this Owlet emerge from the hollow for the first time, and then develop and explore its world over months, I'm team Owlet 🙂

I know what you mean, and I love snakes. I've even done a venomous snake handling course. But I'm more invested in the Owlet's story, so it's Owlet for the win for me.

Cheers, Tony!

The same Powerful Owlet a couple of weeks later.

There are too many birds in need of help, that's for sure.

I love the Spotted Pardalote as well, such beautiful birds. Any day you see one is a good one. But this week I'm team Emu-wren 🙂
