A thread about owls. Post and appreciate these birds. What kind of owls live in your region?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkFXo253SRkBarred owl live cam.
Owls freak me out. They look really weird and act strange. And the fact that they can spin their heads 180° is also kind of creepy.I've never seen one IRL though.
I had barn owls living in an old shed years ago that were unfortunately chased away by bluejays. I also like the great horned owl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LOH9paYtV8
There's some pygmy owls that live in my area, they've raised babies a few years in a birdhouse in the front yard. I've seen a few larger ones getting harried by bluejays, but I'm not wholly sure what kind they were
>>4965191What kind of owl is this one?
Screech owls nest somewhere on or near my property. I never see them nor have I seen their nest but I can hear the horrid fucks from time to time.
Does anyone know what kind of owls these are? This guy and his buddy were chilling on my roof and doing weird things with their headshttps://files.catbox.moe/idpugv.mp4
Owls are cool. My dog likes to bark at them when they hoot in the trees on my property.
>>4965516Surnia Ulula.A Hawk Owl.Its not nocturnal like most owls.
>>4965562Are you a burger or Euro?
>>4965562Looks like a barred owl
>>4966178Oh I didn't knew there was a daytime owl, that's very cool
Welp another year another thread another crack at trying to get some useful information out of you birdfuckers. How do I get rid of some owls without harming them? I don't care if you love owls. I don't care if you think they're the most wonderful things on Earth. I know that they are just acting in their natural way, but it just so happens their natural way of life makes them a fucking nuisance and I need them gone. I tried music but the neighbors complained. I hung CDs and milk jugs up everywhere and it didn't do shit and I got a fine from the HOA. I got rid of the trees on my property but the owls just started scraping and honking on the roof. I filled in my pool but there's a creek only about a mile away, I found out. I even tried putting up a Japanese deer scare thing but the owls ignored it and the stupid neighbor kid hit it with his lawnmower the day after I installed it. Please, I'm begging you, it has been three years. I am so tired of owls. I need to sleep.
>>4966594Where do you live that you have problems with owls? Are you living on a nest of rats or something?
>>4966830Appalachia. What does it matter?

>>4975071Hell yeah, owlets!
>>4975071I think they changed the url since I made OP, this one is working:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKbhyQKBrGE
>>4975351It's beautiful
>>4964870>implying owls are birds
>>4964870
Aw man OP. You opened up some wounds. 2 weeks ago was walking around our property when I saw what I thought to be a cat sitting looking at squirrels. Turned out to be this girl. She was clearly hurt so I took her to bird vet asap. Not sure if they had to put her down but we were surprised to learn she was still alive when we got there. Truly Alien species.
>>4964870owls are very strange and creepy creatures, especially the ones in the barn.
>>4977729I WANT IT!
>>4975348Holy those fluff balls are cute. I like owls. The Cornel site has a vote to name them too.
>>4964870hoot hoo hoot
>>4964870I want to pet an owl.Wish I could visit one of those cool ass pet zoos.
>>4975351literally me
Who?
>>4978622The owlets are literally giant puffs of feather now
>>4966594I think I'd love an owl infestation
>>4975348>>4975071>randomly check thread, last I checked they freshly hatchedwtf
>>4964870Literally who
>>4985707That owl cam has now been turned off as the owlets have left the nest box and are exploring the surrounding environment. I wish them all the best.
I think I saw an owl at work I was walking under a tree and a huge bird flew super fast away with only 1 wing flap. It was incredibly fast and I could barely see it.>>4968059>cat>IDK dude I normally kill these things but this one is as big as me
Also most birds will see you and fly away only if you get close. This one was big, silent, and GONE as soon as it saw me.
I love all owls cause they are permanently just high as fuck on LSD
>>4964870I'm interested in the eyes of the owl.I know they have a third eyelid they can blink like an alligator. What other eye facts are there?I've never seen the whites of an owl's eye, do they even have whites?I know they can see well in darkness, but how well can they see in the daylight?
>>4964870Found this little fella when I'm going home
Have you ever been attacked by an owl? One tried to grab my head while I was on a night walk. Did I look appetizing /an/?
i hit an owl with my truck coming home off work tonight. i feel real bad about it please forgive me owlbros.
>>5000152when i was a baby a great horned owl tried to carry me away. this is a sign about my Destiny
>>4964870the owls are not what they seem.
these birds look nice, and sound funny
>>4964870Long eared owls are nesting every year close to my bedroom window.The young ones get pretty loud at night when they scream for food so I have to use ear plugs to get some sleep.Going to post some pics I took a few years ago.
>>5005258
>>5005259
>>5005261
>>5005265
>>4968326skeksis ass mf
>>5005266Cool as fuck. Wish you had a better camera though.
I spotted some juvenile Great Horns the other night, screeching while jumping between trees. I do hope they're still around tonight, I want a good picture of the young dude.
Why are these things larping as fern
>>5005258Have you considered putting up a nest elsewhere so they're not that close to your window? I can only imagine how loud they are that close up.
>>5019102OMG what kind of owle is this total cutie pie?!?
>>4964870I used to visit a barn owl every night and it became relatively tame and would let me walk right up to it. I wasn't willing to risk touching it and getting mauled though. The downtown area of my city is abandoned and in a state of decay so you can find a lot of wildlife there.
https://wildyards.com/owls-in-georgia/These kind apparently; I've heard the pic related more recently. I love it.
OWL AWARENESS DAY
>>5012240reminds me of the 4th kind.Shit movie but it scared me when I was a lad.
>>5030109hmm?
>>4968059proof that animals are small humans pretending
>>4973540This looks like my severely recessed classmate.
anyone else here ever sift through owl pellets as a kid to see what bones were in there or is my country just weird
>>5037984i havent found any
>>5040920ayy lmao
>>5021411Cute
>>4964870I heard these guys are idiotsI don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, you don’t need to be smart if you are good enough at your thing, but it’s weird that they get the wisdom rep (if they are actually dumb)
>>4965563Actually funny.
>>5027813>>5012240haha
Are owls friendly birds?
Happy 6 months
>>4965562thats a camera
>>5045292>>5046393I wish North America had fish-owls.>>5047814With humans? They're generally fearful of us and will try to keep their distance, though they will be more tolerable towards humans if exposed throughout their life. Burrowing owls are one such example, specifically when their only available nest sites are close to urban areas.They're also very territorial and often mate for life, though long-eared owls are an exception. Many of them will roost together in a single tree during the winter. Female northern saw-whet owls are known to find a second mate when their first brood is old enough.
>>5047814They are tolerant and can be surprisingly friendly towards people when imprinted as chicks and raised by them. But they are not attention-seeking like social parrots or dogs.
>>5051754They do have varying levels of temperament when imprinted which is impacted by how they were raised and their environment. One example I will always find fascinating is Carl Safinas (right) and Alfie (left). Alfie was an abandoned owlet when Carl found her. He rehabbed and cared for her and when it was time to release her, Alfie chose to stay in Carl's backyard. However, she is not reliant on people for food and is self-sufficient in the wild. Over the years Alfie had several successful broods with at least two mates (both of whom were completely wild). All the while she is extremely close with Carl, where she often perches on him while he's working or relaxing outside.
Anyone have vids/pics of owls turning their heads 180 degrees?
>>5053406Have they mistaken me for Simon Cowell?
>>5041141I think it’s the big eyes and the mystique of being nocturnal that gave them the rep of being wise
There's a regional park I hike at and there's a tree with an owl that was perched awake on it during the daytime. Was it retarded/dying?
*inhales*N
>>5054133Depends on the species. Some are active during the day. Could also be a young owl, they tend to be active during the day as they figure out how to be, well, an owl.
>>5058065*record scratch**freeze frame*Yup, that’s me. You’re probably wondering how I got here….
I saw an owl for the first time in my life recently. It was sitting in the hollow core of a poplar tree that had fallen over.As soon as I stopped it flew away. Could have been a tawny owl, not sure
