Gylfie the barn owl is working really hard to care for her chicks on her own. But with three hungry babies to feed, I've decided to help out.

ABOUT THIS FILM
____________________

Gylfie

Gylfie was widowed this week after her partner Finn died. She has three young chicks to care for and I'm not sure she will be able to hunt for enough food on her own, so I've decided to drop in a cache of voles and mice to support her.

Finn

Sadly Finn drowned in a water trough used for livestock. This is a very common problem in hot weather and during the breeding season when owls need to bathe to keep clean. They normally use shallow puddles but seem unable to determine how deep troughs are and once inside, the steep sides mean they can't get out.

What to do

If you have a trough for livestock the solution is simple. A float a crate upside down is best gives the owl something to stand on.

Gylfie & Finn's story

Finn's loss is a great tragedy. He was a particularly loving partner to Gylfie and an outstanding dad to his chicks.
