Didi and Jasper

Didi and Jasper started their first clutch in December 2016.

In Febuary, 2017, Didi and Jasper had a successful Clutch 2, in June Clutch 3 and in October Clutch 4. Unfortunately, Didi went missing while the owlets were just days old and they all passed away.

Hans and Didi

Hans and Didi had their first clutch in 2014 and were very successful. During the hatch of their 5th clutch, Hans went missing. Didi has remained to continue raising the clutch. Supplemental food was supplied by the site owners and all of the owlets successfully fledged. Many generous viewers made donations to help purchase the supplemental food. During this time, a new male owl, named Jasper, mated with Didi and adopted the owlets in the clutch.
