This barred owlet slowly gained courage and actually branched the next morning. Its (probably older) sibling had fallen out of the tree a couple of days earlier, spent the night in the brush and climbed up a palm and was being fed regularly by the adults. I will post images of the actual branching next which was actually amazing to watch and capture.
