Snowy owls are an iconic species of the Arctic. Hatching started a week ago in the Snowy Owl (named Kiki) nest. Owlets are still small and do not require much food. We noticed that the mother gives to the newly hatched chicks pieces of her own pellets. Perhaps this contributes to the formation of a speciesspecific internal microbiota, which is very important for the normal physiology and health of owlets. The male brought half a gosling to the nest. Mom feeds offspring in small pieces. Kiki makes specific sounds when she offers food. You watch feeding small owlets in great details
