(Wikipedia)In captivity owls can be removed from their parents and transferred into anotherenclosure at 12 weeks of age, they are able to perch, fly and feed for themselves.10.16 Growth and Development• Downy young – first short white-downed, later long creamy down• Fledgling- only traces of down• Immature/juveniles- look similar to adults.44
11. Artificial RearingMasked Owls have the ability to double clutch so you may want to use artificialincubation and rearing to get as many young as possible from pairs.If you want to double clutch, the fertile eggs must be removed after they have beencandled and place them into your incubator.Once you have removed the fertile eggs, most, but not all owl species should recycle afterabout two weeks. (Parry - Jones J)The hardest of all eggs to hatch in an artificial incubator are those that have had nonatural incubation under a bird. So seven to ten days of natural incubation, once thefemale starts to incubate properly will make your job a little easier. (Parry – Jones J)Figure 14 Masked Owl only a few days old11.1Incubator TypeIt shouldn’t matter the type of incubator used as long as temperature and humidity arecorrect.
