A baby owl is called an owlet. Owlets are young owls that have not yet reached adulthood. They are typically covered in soft, downy feathers and are cared for by their parents until they are old enough to fend for themselves.
Owlets go through several stages of development before they become fully grown owls. During this time, they learn essential skills such as hunting and flying. The term ‘owlet’ is commonly used to refer to these young birds until they mature into adult owls.
