Wild Life Drawing: Baby Barn Owls #2.5

Due to unbelievable demand, we're adding in one extra class at the mid-point of the development for our two fluffy little baby Barn Owls – still without names! At this stage we will see the owlets starting to grow their flying feathers and gaining confidence to explore the world around them, but not yet taking flight. Barn Owls develop quickly, and are fully grown at 12 weeks, and in that time they undergo a dramatic transformation as they swiftly turn from ungainly balls of downy feathers to beautiful, fully grown Barn Owls. 

The owlets hatched out around mid July and are doing really well, and so the first class on the 9th August will see the owlets at just under 4 weeks old, still in their downy feathers and just learning to walk. As well as drawing the owlets, we’ll be learning all about the different growth stages – from eggs to adult birds. This species is native to the UK and we’ll be using the classes to explore the conservation issues affecting the birds and what we can do to help.

The drawing classes are open to all, from beginners to advanced. All drawing materials are supplied, including paper, but please feel free to bring colours or any other specific media you might like to use. The aim is to inspire a sense of appreciation and understanding for the animals and their conservation in the wider world.

Wild Life Drawing is working with the finest animal handlers, sanctuaries and organisations to put on these events. All the animals that attend the sessions are well used to humans and different environments and are always accompanied by experienced handlers, their welfare is our highest priority. The falconer that keeps these birds is a trusted and experienced animal handler that works with the RSPCA to rescue, rehabilitate and re-release wild birds of prey around the South of England.
