Owlet defends nest from Fox
I found this clip while following a series of links from a German livecam. It shows an owlet, one of three in the nest, defending his home and siblings from a hungry fox. (Spoiler: the fox does not win. I knew you'd be worried)

I just watched the clip - That little owlet should have the name of Spunky! He is so brave & adorable (liked him better then the BarnOwls)
Sorry, I originally put this comment in those for the article above this one...

This is a fascinating clip, and that owlet's instinctive pattern of defense is incredible.
I wonder if other owl species, which nest higher, also have that kind of ferocious defense instinct.
Is that an European version of the Burrowing Owl, or do they have another species of ground dwellers on that continent?
