Sweet Siblings

Sibling cuddle bugs! These two sibling recently fledged Northern Saw Whet owls certainly gave us a show. In between naps, they would nip and groom each other as well. When they groom each others feathers, this is called "allopreeing". This is also a behavior that may come in handy during the breeding season. :) These Owls know how to keep their plumage in tip top shape!
