LIVE American Barn Owl Florida Cam 1| The Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology| University of Florida

All birds in our streams/videos are WILD and can enter and leave freely. If you enjoy watching the birds, please consider supporting the cameras. ☕ $5 or more • Support our work (one-time or monthly): https://ko-fi.com/chartergroupbirdcams Your support keeps the cameras running and helps us share wildlife with the world. These videos document wild barn owl behavior for education, research, and conservation. We do not stage or intervene. About the Nest Boxes These boxes are monitored as part of research at the Shamir Research Institute and the University of Haifa (Israel). Cameras are installed before eggs are laid or after all nestlings hatch to avoid disturbance. Camera boxes represent only a small portion of the pairs we monitor. Some nests fail due to food shortages, which is a natural process in wild populations. Watch Dr. Motti Charter’s lecture:    • Everything you ever wanted to know about  ...   Nest Cleanliness Barn owls lack a sense of smell and bring dead prey to nests; some may rot. Owls also regurgitate pellets and do not clean nests. Natural sites remain this way until they collapse or fill up. We clean nest boxes once per year, making them cleaner than natural nests. Cleaning too often may cause nest abandonment and remove beneficial insects. Subscribe:    / chartergroupbirdcams   Adults are not banded, so we cannot confirm if the same pair breeds each year.
