Two rescued barn owl chicks danced synchronously while being fed chicken meat.

Footage shows the bird siblings swaying left and right on the basket while a resident - who volunteered to take care of them until they were ready for release - gave them small bites of food in Phetchabun province, Thailand.

Resident Preecha Nukrob said: ‘They were found in a farm under a tree after a heavy storm. We thought that they would die if we left them there, so I asked to take care of them until they were ready to return home.'

Barn owl chicks often sway their bodies because it helps them develop better balance. It is a common behaviour in many young birds to help them learn how to stabilise themselves while standing or adjusting to their environment.
