When one man in Belgium, Jos Baart, heard a commotion going on outside his third-story apartment window, he assumed that it was just a bunch of pigeons having a scuffle. But when he went to have a peek, it turned out to be a trio of the Eurasian eagle-owl – Europe’s largest owl species!

And since they decided that they were going to move into the planter just outside Baart’s living room window, there have been some cute changes. Apparently, the birds got into watching TV. They have even joined him in marathoning his boxsets by peeping in through the living room window.

Baart even captured some video footage of the adorably large chicks peering over his shoulder to watch the TV. It was shared with the Dutch nature show Vroege Vogels. While the chicks are busy wanting to watch the TV, their mother is nearby, not that impressed with Baart or his television.

In the video that has been posted to Twitter, Baart explained that the mother often perches nearby to keep an eye on her chicks in their nest – often keeping her eye on things for up to six or eight hours a day.
