Fangorn our 5 week old Tawny Owl and Oak our 21 year old Tawny Owl!
It’s hard to believe that Oak once used to be so fluffy. At just 5 weeks old Fangorn is now the same weight as Oak!
I legitimately had no idea they could live that long. For some reason I never looked it up and just thought owls lived like 5-8 years.
I love them even more now.
Aww, I am glad you liked it. Owls don’t usually live too long in the wild due to all the natural and manmade dangers, but given protection they can live a long time.
I got to know my man Hootie for a bit, and they didn’t know how old he was, but he had a medical procedure that the received as an adult that was banned over 20 years ago, and he lived at the park for a number of years after they acquired him, putting him near 30, which is very tremendous.
They are amazing animals and I’m glad I can help you enjoy them even more!
