A young Powerful Owl being harassed by a Blue-faced Honeyeater. Chicks are mobbed as soon as they're out of the hollow, especially in more open parks where BFHE and Noisy Miners thrive. This POwlet made its way hugh into a gum tree by the next day, away from foraging smaller birds.

A young Powerful Owl looking skywards as a Blue-faced Honeyeater squawks, open-beaked close behind. POwls don't seem too bothered, just annoyed by the smaller birds, larger ones, like Currawongs can strike them and possibly cause damage.
