This is an exciting lesson. I was able to set up a night activation camera in the hollow of a tree inhabited by a family of Southern Boobook Owls. Southern Booboook Owls live in Western Australia and they are the smallest owl on the Australian continent. These movies can be used to show the behaviours of any owl species. There are six owl movies.
Movie 1 - the baby owlet rotates it’s head/neck 180.
Movie 2 - the adult owl delivers a mouse to the owlets in the hollow.
Movie 3 - the adult owl delivers an invertebrate (possibly a moth)
Movie 4 - the adult owl delivers another invertebrate.
Movie 5 - an adult owl enters the hollow.
Movie 6 - a second adult owl enters the hollow.
Here is link to the owl movies that have been uploaded onto my website.

Use the accompanying worksheet to guide students as they view each movie. Students record what the owls are doing, what they eat and what goes on in an owl hollow in the middle of the night. It’s very busy!!
