The Barking Owl

Could a tree be a whole neighborhood?


High in the Australian bush, a barking owl named Bram thinks of his old eucalyptus tree as home. But when a bright red ribbon appears around its trunk, he realizes that home may be in danger. With the help of sugar gliders, possums, rainbow lorikeets, and a few clever ideas, Bram must find a way to help the humans see that this isn't just one tree. It’s a neighborhood. 


In this episode, kids will learn: 


  • Why we call them “barking” owls 

  • How silent flight helps owls sneak up on prey using specialized feathers

  • How tree hollows become essential homes for barking owls, sugar gliders, possums, bats, frogs, and many other Australian animals


Wild and Kind Kids is a weekly, screen-free animal podcast for curious kids and their grownups. Every episode blends an original story with real animal science, helping children build curiosity, empathy, and a deeper understanding of the natural world, one remarkable animal at a time.


Listen during bedtime, quiet afternoons, long car rides, or homeschool science lessons about birds of prey, Australian animals, forests, and habitats.
