Hans and Didi
Hans and Didi had their first clutch in 2014 and were very successful. During the hatch of their 5th clutch, Hans went missing. Didi has remained to continue raising the clutch. Supplemental food was supplied by the site owners and all of the owlets successfully fledged. Many generous viewers made donations to help purchase the supplemental food. During this time, a new male owl, named Jasper, mated with Didi and adopted the owlets in the clutch.
