http://www.beleefdelente.nl/steenuil Well we have the same problem as last year with the pigeon in the nest. Check out the 1st video on the right. And the 2nd video.

The pigeons just won't let the owls in the nest. They sure try. New videos on the site.

Not sure if the Owls will nest this year. Not with bad momma pigeon on patrol.
The pigeon keeps looking in the owl nest!

The pigeons are trying, check the 2nd video in the 1st column! As a matter of fact, watch them all!!

Pigeons will be discouraged for sure. Even the steinuil have difficulty to enter.
Fortunately they are slimmer during feeding of the youngs, necause the have so much round trip to do

Cute baby tho!

The juvie has problem with one leg. They think that he will not survive because he will not be able to hunt.
It seems to be a congenital anomalie.
But here in MTL Polly survive with the help of her mother and father. She had a BB who died last week unfortunately.
Bad year for all species of birds

That's so sad, they never had problems before this. Poor baby.

I wish they would help that little baby owl. It's just flapping around with 1 leg stuck straight out. Very sad to watch it suffer.

Sorry, Donna, it's too late to help the leg but they could still rescue it and keep it in a sanctuary.  This little darling will never get out of the box with that leg, he will starve unless someone does something before the parents expect it to start it's fledge routine, which it can never accomplish.
