The owlets will "Branch Hop" before they fledge. They will move from branch to branch and tree to tree. They get their first taste of gravity which can be comical.
Starting to climb the tree

Loosing its balance, hugging the tree

Biting a vine trying to keep it's balance

The vine snapped, it can be seen in it's mouth. Owlet looking to mom for help but none is coming.
(Download)
It landed safely. Only about a 6 foot drop. Immediately started climbing again.

Success!! I had total faith in you buddy!!
