What is being done to help snowy owls from being endangered?
As with most owls, the mother stays and keeps the young warm, whilst keeping predators at bay. The father owl hunts continuously to keep his family fed, often lining the nest edge with prey that is at that time surplus to requirements. Once the young snowy owls are too demanding for the male snowy owl, and large enough to leave, the female snowy owl joins in the hunt and supply of fresh prey. Eventually, the young snowy owls are encouraged to chase their own prey, initially caught but not killed by the parent snowy owls.
