Mr. Tiger brought a total of 7 treats to Mrs. Tiger and the 2 owlets last night between 8:54p.m. and 6:37 a.m.
Here is a video compilation of the deliveries from overnight. [Video].http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSKknBwuSD4[/Video]

There is a HUGH rat in front of Mrs. T right now that I thought was a rabbit (sorry Bunnie) but the mods said it was a BFR (Big Fat Rat) and posted this pic of it. You can see it's tail in the PIP.

Looked in on Mrs. T this morning and all is well. Planter box laying full of food and she is asleep but one of the owlets is popping out from under her. Their eyes should open this week and in about anther week or so they will be too big to hide under mom. I think she'll probably move to the rail when that happens and let the owlets have the box. Can't believe how fast they are growing either. Their little faces look so full and round and their cheeks look like chipmunk cheeks. So cute.

Here's a video that Bobandtheowl posted of one of his GHO babies.

I love that video of the young owl. It must be amazing to have that happening right in your yard. Thanks, Patticake!

Mrs. T was subjected to high winds as she covered the two little ones. Earlier in the day there was the first horking that resulted in a pellet Mrs. T then consumed. This evening, Mr. T brought a rat and then proceeded to eat it himself. After he left, Mrs. T fed the little ones from the rodents in the planter. At one point one of the babies reached over and grabbed a chunk of the rat and chugged it down, and kept right on eating. The two little Ts have very healthy appetites.

Mrs. T left the box for longer than usual tonight. She was probably gone 15 minutes giving us a good chance to see those babies and how they've grown!

Mr. T. arrives with a fresh rodent.

I got a few pics, too! Mrs T is staying out more tonight than I have seen her do since the owlets hatched. Soon she'll be forced to stay out of the box because the babies will be too big to fit underneath her. One of the owlets had one eye open tonight. The other one must be stuck together with owl eye glue.

Holy Cow!!!! Me and Peg were watching Mrs. T hold a Starling in her beak that Mr. T brought sometime last night when one of the owlets gets it and starts chugging it! First it was chugging with the bird sideways in it's mouth but then after several times dropping it and picking it back up, it got it going down the right way! There was no way I thought that little owlet could swallow a whole starling but I was wrong! Peg and I were in SHOCK at what we were witnessing. That little owlet chugged down the whole thing and mantled that Starling, too!!!!.

Also put pics in our Picture Gallery. Unreal!

Thank you for getting that video Peg cause nobody would believe us without proof! LOL

Shortly after Tigress ate the Starling, Mr. T showed up with his second delivery of the night which was a mouse. Teegra promptly ate that one. Mr. T's first delivery was a rat which is still on the nest right now.

3rd delivery by Mr. T tonight was another Starling. I wonder if this is GHO baby food? It will be interesting to see if this continues to be something he brings that the owlets eat. Mrs. T didn't see at all interested in eating the other Starling. It stayed in the nest all day until the little one ate it. Now there's another one to replace it. hmmmmm Gerber Starlings?
