Here’s one way that Northern Pygmy Owls are rebels in the owl world. The females in most species of owls start incubating as soon as they lay an egg. Not a female pygmy owl. She’ll lay an egg every day or day and a half, with a total, usually, of five to seven eggs. But only after she has laid all of her eggs will she settle in to incubate.
