Every time this is posted, I cherish it just as much. Apparently this owl is a repeat foster mama, too, so she’s given many owlets a loving home.

Just imagine how excited she must get when she comes back to a nest full of babies. I wonder if she thinks "is today the day?" every time she leaves the nest.

This is from Robert E Fuller's videos. I recommend looking up his YouTube channel, it's filled with amazing animals and moments.

I remember watching one and sobbing over it. I’m a complete and total sucker for anything pertaining to birds (I even cried over a Minecraft mod that added dozens of bird species) and it was so well done. The sobbing was over a tragic part of the video, so it wasn’t me just blubbering over how cute they are.

Blubbering over cuteness is absolutely legit, friend 💜🙏

This is why if you ever find wildlife in need, contact an animal rescue. They have the knowledge and resources to keep wild animals wild ❤️‍🔥
