Owls
« on: December 29, 2011, 01:59:49 pm »
Do you love Owls ???   It seems that it was really a hot item this year.  I think I always thought they were cute but my little grandson was named "Owlsley" so .... it makes it even cuter to me now i think.... I am always looking for cute owl items to make or buy.

I think Owls are one of the most interesting and complicated birds. My uncle had a pet Owl named "Hoot Gibson" that was very cool. :)

I don't really pay attention to trends, but yeah Owls are great. Adorable and amazing in any size.
Have you seen the book series or movie "Legend Of The Guardians: The Owls Of Ga Hoole"? Very nice animation. Haven't read the book, but it's aimed towards youth, I think.


Oh, and something not actually related, a song I enjoy:
The Owls Go by Architecture In Helsinki ;D

Yes, I agree I've seen them pop up on shirts everywhere this year (especially at Tillys). I've always liked owls, even though they look kind of scary as hatchlings  :P

About two weeks ago, my husband called me to come look in our back yard.  There on a fence post was an owl.  I had never seen a real one before, even after living in the country for about 12 years.  He says he sees them once in a while at night driving back from class.

yesss  :heart:

i'm an owl lover too! owls and elephants are my favorite
animals. i'd like my next tattoo to be an owl (you can guess
what the first one was, lol).

i see them as a throwback to the '70s. my aunt had this
amazing owl lamp back in the day and i always thought it
was really neat. they just have a cool retro look to them.
i'd LOVE to have one for a pet, but not sure if i could get
over feeding them mice/other things that come along with
taking care of them.
[ we all have a place in history. mine is in the clouds. ]

Owls are superb.  :thumbsup: I love them. I admire & respect them as I do the other majestic birds of prey (eagles, falcons, hawks, etc). I think I may actually have a feather or two of an owl.

When it comes to the bird species, Owls are definitely a hoot.  Do you remember how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?  If so, you're getting up there like me!

I read a book not long ago about a gal who raised an owl from the time it hatched.  Very interesting but not very easy  ;D ;D  I think I'll stick to pictures are cute and seeing one in person would be super cool but I don't think I could raise one.  I'm not much of a collector but if I were, owls and seahorses would be high on my list.

my mother collected owls in the 70s...although her collection seemed dark & spooky to me. Despite my 70s memories,  :icon_rr: I think owls are gorgeous creatures overall, and Owlsley is an adorable name.  We see and hear Owlsley here on fc first   :notworthy:, and next it will be the name of gwyneth paltrows next kid.   :dontknow:   :peace: :wave:

I live down in Fort Myers, Florida.
The owls burrow during certain times of the year in Cape Coral, the city next to us.
