We have been flooded with emails / comments forwarded to us from Africam, and our own email. Thank you so much to everyone that has sent messages and questions etc. We will do our best to reply to each message, but please understand if we don't manage.
Quick update from last night (22 Nov):
Teeny hunted in our neighbours' gardens for a couple of hours - periodically flying up to the wall to look out. Teeny still hisses loudly (that's why we knows its Teeny!), and Pot Plant Owl was there with food.
We didn't see or hear Pappa all night. We are sure that Indie is with Pappa, and I suspect Pappa is showing Indie how to hunt bigger prey - like rats. Indie is our adventurer, so will be up for the challenge. Jelani was spotted briefly at twilight on the roofto[, but left shortly after nightfall. Jeli might be trying its luck with king crickets in other gardens that we can't see, or perhaps Jeli even goes into the wetland.
Thanks so much for the update! It makes our minds more at ease as you describe these happenings.
ReplyDeleteIt was so wonderful to read your update! Miss watching the owl family so much, especially the antics of Teeny! Sad that they had to because of loss of their land, but both parents couldn't have chosen a better place to nest and raise their owlets! Wildlife do know for sure who will love and protect them! Just so glad you have gotten your balcony back! I cannot say thank you enough for all you do for wildlife! Following this family has left me with countless wonderful memories, with an added bonus of meeting and chatting with so many incredible people of which I would have never had an opportunity to meet! God bless you both!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your news of PPO, Pappa and family. It cheers me to hear they are around the neighbourhood and are doing well. I can almost hear Teeny hissing as I write this. Thanks for taking the time from your busy life to share these details, it is appreciated!
ReplyDeleteDear Tracy and Allan,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for these updates! You are so kind to realize that we need to hear what is happening with "our" babies. :-)
Hope you are enjoying your webcam-less balcony!
Best wishes and God bless!

Golly it was great reading your blog today. Thank you so much for keeping all of us informed on our special owl family. Good to know that they are all doing well. I have been going over to one of the chatters photo site where they have videos and watching them over. It sure helps to see the babies and hear Teeny hissing. Hope they continue to do well. Thanks again for keeping us informed. We all love you both. May God continue to enhance your lives with many blessings. Patti aka pattiinVA
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much for updating us! I check every day on PPO Pappa and the babies (not so much our babies anymore). We appreciate all that you are doing! Lots of love. Jodimaher
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear an update from Jo'burg about the family we have been so attached to for so many lovely interactions! (Both families, actually, Tracy and Allan as well as PPO, Papa, and kids!) In the U.S., we are celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, and I have even more to be thankful for: people like you, friends I have made on Africam, animals taking care of their young! Life is so beautiful, and your generosity has made even more people aware of more of the wonderful things that surround us! Thank you so very much!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are still letting us know what is happening with our wonderful owl family. We all appreciate the time you take to do this. I'm missing PPO and family so much. Janet

Thanks all for the comments. Whenever we see the owls, we will update the blog for you. If we are lucky enough to get a picture of one of them now, we will also post that.
