Soren, a Barn Owl, or a Tyto Alba, lives in a nest in a hollow of a fir tree with his parents Noctus and Marella and siblings Kludd and Eglantine, who is newly hatched, in a forest kingdom called Tyto. Soren falls out of the nest and onto the bottom of the forest, a dangerous place for an owlet, an easy prey for raccoons.
