The little owl is in good shape so probably hasn't been without food too long. There were 2 dead younger siblings outside the nest hole so I am guessing something bad happened to the mom or dad or both. When food supply to the nest goes down for whatever reason, the babies get hungry and will fall/jump from the nest in search of food. Then they fall prey to dogs/cats/other wildlife and starvation. Luckily this little owl was saved but of course he isn't happy about it and is screaming to let me know!
