A baby Barn Owl testing out its wings captured by @luke_brady_johnson It takes a long time for baby Barn Owls to fledge, it’s around the 7 week mark that they first start their wing flapping exercises. By 8-9 weeks they will have made their first short flights, and by 10 weeks they are able to take to the sky, hunt and find their own territory. #InternationalOwlAwarenessday
