Eurasian Eagle-owls - Germany / Uhu-Cam

[Kinderchick]

Thanks for all the links with info, Alison... very interesting!  Yes, the feet on the owlets are enormous.  And I do love their fluffy coats! The first photo looks as if mom said, "Pose for the camera now."

They are beautiful, love their 'coats'!

Gee, I've never heard of an Eagle-owl before. Are they a crossed species?

I don't think so . . . they are a type of European owl (Bubo bubo). I think they are very handsome owls - and look at the size of the feet on the owlets!

Some info on these owls:
