The vids people made all say a giant rabbit! That's a big one if it is. Mom came home and she was scared of it. This is the funniest video I've seen in a long time. Big, bad eagle owl mama is beak snapping and jumping sideways to get away from this big furry thing. She scares the owlets and they start beak snapping, too. Funniest thing ever! I love the part where she comes back in to take another look at about the 50 second mark. Watch the owlets faces in the video, too.
Patti, If you look at the ringing video at time-stamp 8:12, you'll see the man moving the carcass, and he seems to have a hard time with the weight of it. Still, if that's a rabbit, they must grow them a lot bigger over there.
I saw that scene unfold live, with the adult so cautious of the carcass and the little ones beak snapping the whole time. Later I saw (and heard) her feeding it out to them, and still later those youngsters took a nice nap with full bellies.
It's worth watching the junguhus for awhile during the day, just to get a good clear pic that shows their orange eyes. Every time I looked up, there was another owlet, and they were even cuter!

These baby owls have been screeching for food for 2 days now,mom owl is never there.I know they are watching the owlets with camera I see it move,so hopefully they well feed them again.I wish I could talk to people running camera but I don't know German...
Don't beat your head against a brick wall! Try an online translator, for example https://translate.google.com/#en/de/ And if you need to translate the German page into English first, you can do that, too. Good luck!
There's a noisy, crunchy feeding going on right now at 3:26 am nest time. Something's getting torn up and distributed. It's hard not to worry about these youngsters. I honestly think they're doing fine. And the older they get, the better they can take a time with less food.
I finally got someone who could read German so she read the daily report on the page.Momma brought small booty for baby owls but last night brought a large rabbit at 3:00 in the morning their time...
