Watering the plant one year chased the babies off the nest too early and I was devistated that I caused this. I made a remote watering system out of a 2 litre pop bottle, some aquarium tubing and a wine bottle cork. I made the tubing as long as I needed it and burned one end closed. Then with a tiny drill, I drilled holes through the hose at the end for the pot about 2" apart for about 18". I drilled a hole in the cork and inserted the open end of the hose in the cork and put the cork in the bottle. I cut the bottom of the bottle off and hung it uphill and far away from the nest. Now I water the bottle and the holes release the water into the pot!!! Voila! Hope this helps next year! You can bury the hose in the dirt so it doesn't spray the babies, too!Daylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688642126619679722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-86104172407204654062011-10-17T15:13:11.482-07:002011-10-17T15:13:11.482-07:0017Oct11, 11:35PM, watching Pot Plant Owl feed her ...17Oct11, 11:35PM, watching Pot Plant Owl feed her two babies. Is it just me or does she make sure both get fed? After watching Barn Owls for so long, with the fling it in and every man for himself approach, this is such a kinder and gentler approach. I love watching this site.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430627040865984788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286055343012911904.post-88481612131690645432011-10-16T14:19:17.834-07:002011-10-16T14:19:17.834-07:00I missed as well.. :/
