Young owlets venture out of the nest onto nearby branches at about three weeks, and begin taking short flights at about five weeks. |
At dusk, the spotted owlets in the cracked-up jackfruit and mango trees would be calling querulously, bobbing their heads and glaring at you out of great golden eyes. |
After the young hatch, she broods the owlets for about three weeks. |
Once the young hatch, the female broods for about three weeks while the male brings food to her and the owlets. |
In the first two weeks after the young hatch, the female stays on the nest to brood them, and the male brings food for the female and the owlets. |
The female broods the young for 2-3 weeks after they hatch, while the male brings food to the female and the owlets. |
