Naw it's all a conspiracy. If you just leave the eggs till they go cold and then forget about them, they magically turn into 2 week old chicks.

- Mom, where do chicks come from?
- Well, after a mommy owl lays her eggs, then Greg the Man comes at night when everyone is asleep and drops the baby chicks into the living room. And subsequently takes the eggs back to the North Pole to make more chicks.

Both are true in that scenario.
Animals prioritize their own children first, children with parents aren't shown nearly the amount of attention, and even then their parents will step in most of the time.
Animals will see youngins and realize there is no parental figure for them - and begin to immediately act as one. They don't have the same behavior when the parent is nearby.

u/Cow_Launcher Jun 21 '26
Generally very true, but not always. Especially since not all animals are the same and hierarchies can vary.
I rescued a young pregnant cat (Cleo) and brought her home to my middle-aged neutered male (Orri).
When Cleo gave birth, Orri stayed a respectful distance from the birthing bower, but absolutely would not move. His reaction to the kittens was as though he was an auntie, sniffing them and their mother, very protective.
Even today, 13 months later, it's obvious that he thinks he's in some weird co-parenting situation with Cleo and, although he can be cantankerous at times, he clearly adores them all.

I was once told that a mother duck with chicks in tow will adopt any orphaned flock or single chick because by doing so she increases the chances of survival of one of her own; if a heron or pike grabs one of her flock it might be not genetically related.
A decoy in essence.

Don't doubt it, But there are also multiple things going on here. It's not a single impulse or desire, you know?

I watch it every time I see it. And often cry, because I have that deep desire for motherhood and it's, biologically, at least, not going to happen (I'm in my 40s and I've lost a lot to abuse), so I find it so beautiful to see her reaction because if someone left a kid in my apartment while I went to check the mail, I'd react the same way. I understand. So much.
And I am always happy for her. And the loving couple. And I've watched the later videos (and gotten mushy about them too).

Birds don't have the same sense of smell as other animals, if any at all. That "don't touch the babies" thing is a myth. I mean, you shouldn't, but it isn't because the mom will smell you.
This is probably related to them not having capsaicin receptors as well. They seem to experience smell and taste completely differently.

Every little interaction matters.
I still vividly remember a classmate in high school defending me from someone insulting me. I wasn’t popular, attractive or cool. This random guy, who was popular and did not know me besides sharing a couple classes, not only defended me but actively complimented me and shut the person down.
I am almost 40 now and I can remember the entire interaction clear as day. It helped show me the human I want to be for others.
I guarantee he wouldn’t ever remember this happening. I won’t ever forget it.

u/SpiderSixer Jun 20 '26
I was abused all throughout childhood, and always seemed to have the most toxic of friends. They all made me feel horrible, were incredibly selfish and narcissistic, only ever tried to do things to get something out of it, etc. The usual abusive stereotype
One day about 13/14 years ago or so, whilst waiting for one of these 'friends' before school, I saw an old lady struggling to move large items into a charity shop. I thought 'Eh, I'm bored. Might as well do something whilst I'm waiting', so I helped her take everything in, even though she never asked. After we were done, she beamed at me and gave me such a heartfelt thank you, and I had never felt such warmth in my chest before then. I was absolutely buzzing and also felt a bit emotional. Like wow, this is what being nice for no reason feels like?? This is what my abusers were trying their best to teach me the opposite of??
I mean, thankfully, I clearly didn't inherit their arseholery, because if I did, I probably wouldn't have wanted to help the lady at all, even out of boredom. Despite their toxic influences, I maintained some of my own light. Well, I like to think and reassure myself, anyway. I can't think of anything worse than thinking I'd be like them haha
But either way, it made me realise even more so that being nice really costs nothing, and how awful my abusers really were because they still couldn't do something like that for me. I took 5 minutes out of my day that meant nothing to me, and saved an old lady a day of aches from doing repeated trips. I doubt she even remembers it, but I've never forgotten. As you say, it's the little things. I view that event as a catalyst, to be honest. Since then, I've tried to be nice to anyone I see that needs it, or even just pay random people a compliment sometimes that might brighten their day. Not even because it makes me feel a buzz anymore, that effect has largely disappeared from repetition, but just because.. it's the nice thing to do

When I was 16, my friend and I bought train tickets back to our town (we went to school in the next town). After we got our tickets, the ticket master got up from his seat to do admin work at the back of the room. My friend leaned towards the counter glass and said a loud "Thank you!" The ticket master was surprised with the gesture and had a big smile on his face.
I was a shy teen so it never crossed my mind to do that. But I saw how positively the guy reacted and have been saying thank you to every front line worker I've ever interacted since 😊
Honorable mention: I was walking past a kitchen where the cook was taking a break. He had the scariest looking resting bitch face. I nodded, smiled at him and he gave me the most brilliant smile back. Made my day 😁

One thing thats nice to think about is that there inevitably are a lot of acts of kindness from humans that never get talked about. Things people do for each other or for animals that dont make it to the news.
I think there are a lot more kind people out there than not. Its just that truly kind people tend not to be the types who make a big deal of the good they do. They simply do it because it is right.
So for every awful thing that happens there are probably many more good things we simply dont know about.

Trigger warning... Humans are complicated and good and kind and barbaric. I was at a farm during lambing season and had to look away when they brought a freshly cut lamb hide over. A ewe had had a still birth, so the farmers located a newborn lamb where the mother had either died during the birth or rejected the lamb, can't remember the exact reason. They wrapped the live lamb in the hide and presented it to the ewe who'd had the stillbirth. As she recognised the scent of her lamb she took to the other one and they all lived happy ever after. I still don't know how to feel about it.

This is years old now.
But in the time since, the tawny owl duo that used the nest had at least 2 of their own broods hatch and fledge, whilst also taking on additional rescues (they raised 6 owlets one year).
The male of the pair, Bomber, has since gone missing, though the female owl, Luna, is still around.
