Four are in New ForestThe New Forest Otter, Owl and Wildlife ParkIt is protected with. According to manager John Crooks, the chicks were originallyHampshireI was in the countryside of the town, but it seems that she had strayed with her mother before she could fly. It also suggests the possibility of being kicked out of the nest because he was young in the hives caught in the nest.

Chicks spent several weeks at a hospital that reproduced the owl's nest, and when adults' feathers become firm, they move to a bird breeding ground, learn how to fly, and put on muscles. It seems that it is closing to a stuffed toy named "Mami Owl" now.

Mr. Crook pointed out that a lot of erroneous information about Mori owl is widespread. The owl looks clever from the appearance of the impression, but in fact it is not such a thing and chicks are strongly curious, it seems that there are times when you can leave the nest though you can not fly yet. Since there are nails, it is possible to climb the tree again, but there are cases where it falls often and can not be found again.
