Snowy owls are an iconic species of the Arctic. Animal world of the Arctic. Birds of prey. Snowy owl on the nest, parenting behavior, animal sounds. A female Snowy Owl (named Zuzu) nested in year when there were few lemmings in the tundra. Zuzu laid only four eggs and all the eggs hatched. In the beginning, when the chicks were small, the number of lemmings caught by her partner was enough. But the owlets are growing rapidly and lemmings were not enough. The female also begins to hunt in such conditions and male prey a birds also. The male brought a prey (the Snow bunting) to the nest. Mom is persistently trying to feed the older (8-9 days old) of the chicks with a large pieces of prey. The owlet needs to learn to swallow food in large chunks in order to easily swallow the prey whole in a few days.
