LIVE Owl Cam Joburg

Exciting times are ahead! On Friday evening, 22nd October 2021 at 18h05, we placed a Spotted Eagle Owlet into this owl box to be fostered by this owl family. There was no history on the owlet when it was handed into the Joburg Wildlife Veterinary Hospital (JWVH) and the best chance of survival was to place him in a nest with owlets of similar age. We have done this before with success. However, things can sometimes go wrong and it is for this reason that we are asking all of our followers to help us monitor this owlet’s progress. The new owlet is about 5 days older than the 2 owlets. We have a very unique opportunity here to see exactly how the fostering goes. The female Spotted Eagle Owl (Bubo africanus) laid 2 eggs and they hatched 13th October 2021. EcoSolutions installed this Owl Cam at one of our occupied owl boxes last year. The Owl Cam is in a suburb called Linden in Johannesburg, South Africa. We had thousands of dedicated viewers worldwide watching the owlets grow.
