A week ago in the evening from the local store, dark ... Between the trees I heard a hoot .. when I check the second hoot, the largest owl was coming straight to me, with those high wings. I ran to hide and it disappeared.. when I walk again there it comes back to me.. generally I never understood owls ... I love them now... my totem animal ❤️😍

The majestic ever so beautiful owl every night I get the pleasure of hearing them and have followed the sounds they stop making the sounds as soon as I reach the tree they're in always.
Some owls do use the same nest idk why he said that. There's legit footage on robert fuller's channel of a female owl who has had many broods over the past 5 years and she always nests in the one spot unless it gets taken which never happens. Also other barn owls on his channel do the same thing. The tawny owls also do this

I've been around owls quite a bit of my life. They are very beneficial, killing many rodents which kill many humans.
I had a couple build a nest in my yard it's no joke about them being the best pest control system! In 3-4 months not one snake, lizard,frog was left in my yard. I believe they took out the possums too. I wonder what needs to be done to encourage them to visit regularly.

Owls don't make nests like the video mentions, they take nests or use things to nest in. The only reason a owl would pick up things is to smooth out the nest and make sure the eggs are secure enough.
A good interest at many levels from entertainment to science .

Why do owls wink? Do they know we are in their presence, or are they just watching us as we are watching them?
Species that are NOT native are legal to keep as pets in many states. They are difficult to keep. Examples: illegal as pets Barn Owls, Great Horned Owls and Snowy Owls. May be legal : Eurasian Eagle Owls, Spectacled Owls and Tawny Owls . Read the letter of the law carefully down to your local level.
One night a few years ago I walked out on my back porch and a baby owl was sitting on my plant holder.. I absolutely walked over and the owl had his/her head tucked down.. I couldn’t tell what it was so I pat his/her feathers on the chest and he/she didn’t move so I left it there and the next morning he/she had left.. I felt honored that the owl stopped by to rest . Soft soft feathers❤
I almost died today from an owl owl love me I survive owl attack at Kennesaw State University last night I been acting weird lately this started symptom sign that an turning into an owl I started showing sign that are not ok like today my eye change color from brown to yellow and the owl eye then some owl ear started grow out of my head I was dying I can’t believe this happened a minute later my heart stop beating and become unresponsive in front of Kennesaw my organ are failing completely and my weight started dropping my vital sign are showing that something is working with me

Right now we have an active owl nest in our chimney. They are Barn Owls and three eggs hatched last week. We watch them with a video camera that is powered by a solar panel and its signal is Wi-Fi. The owls are fascinating.
How come this video did not mention an owl can fly silently, which makes it the deadliest among its species?
Number 11 its so true😂😂😂😂😂
Who had to watch this video because Owls are their favorite bird? I've always been obsessed with Owls. A few years ago i encountered a Great Horned Owl just standing on my front door step. Didnt even realize it was an owl until i opened the front door to let my cat outside. But after seeing how large this owl was I could not let my cat outside that night. Even though my cat was a badass and ive seen him pick fights and win fights with racoons and large dogs. I didnt want to risk him getting serious injured by that owls talons.

Nice video, but you left out the most important fact: Owls are freaking ninjas. They're nearly invisible at night, and their wings make almost no noise when the fly. They are every nesting bird parent's worst nightmare, and nearly unstoppable.

Owls are gorgeous! They are not evil at all. They signal the end of old order and beginning of new. They can also be harbingers of prosperity or a warning to danger. Owls have always appeared at certain times in my life.

Owls used to follow me around it was getting creepy... i would move and there they would be , either nesting in a palm tree or in the trailer park’s back talk tree, when id go into walks late at night theyd follow me around sometimes... on top of street lamps , even in front of my balcony a couple feet away, alot more..... I heard theyre bad, i found out my 5th generation used to be Witches on Mexico, but it was until recently, the Gift i recieved of this bracelet keeps me protected & ive been seeing alot of Eagles Now.... Theres even Myths about them being Witches In disguise ( On some Harry potter!) in real life tho 😮 Also what do you guys think about my Paranomal video?

You may not see nor hear me as I swoop overhead. Nothing escapes my eyes. You may think you have not been spotted. My instincts control the need to subdue you to the very end. You will scamper about your business, when suddenly, all goes black, and quietness falls upon you like never before. I cannot promise you the pain you will feel ends quickly, as your now racing heart pumps furiously. Your life flashes before you. Will it stop before I start to consume you? I don't know. But you can be assured it is "I" who has claimed you! ....... NIGHTOWL 1963 Other facts not mentioned: 1): Most Owls are far sighted and do not see well up close. Once an Owl captures its prey, it relies on whisker like feathers in its legs to confirm it indeed has its prize. 2): Some species of Owls pluck the feathers of bird prey before feeding their Owletts because they are not digestible. 3): An Owl mother will attempt to feed the runt first when prey is plentiful, but a stronger and older sibling will do strongarm robbery and the parent will not intervein. Survival of the fittest. 4): If an Owlett accidently falls from the nest or a branch to the ground, it is almost certainly doomed unless it can climb back into the tree. Owls are my number one favorite raptor. I have several families that live in the wood behind my house. I often watch them through my binoculars and record their calls when I can. I am NOT an expert, but I do have a vast knowledge of them.

1:39 "Owls have around 14 vertebrates in their neck." OUCH. Get your facts straight. Owls *are* vertebrates! The word you should have used is vertebrae, the plural of vertebra. A vertebrate is defined as: an animal of a large group distinguished by the possession of a backbone or spinal column, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fishes.
In The Indian Subcontinent owl represents wisdom and also good luck,wealth and prosperity.
