Wild animals are just as curious about us as we are about them. Just ask Rory Foley, a Facebook user from New Zealand who recently befriended a curious owl. 

Last week, Foley posted a photo of an adorable tiny owl standing on his couch. He explained that he got acquainted with the owl, who he nicknamed Mr. Hoot, three months ago after learning the bird was living in a tree near his bedroom.

At first, Mr. Hoot would just sit on Foley’s window, and the two would “chat” occasionally. However, the tiny owl got comfortable lately and started entering the house. During one of those visits, he managed to snap a photo.

The Facebook post quickly became viral, with internet users wanting to learn more about his unusual friend. This prompted Foley to get experts to check on Mr. Hoot and he started building a house for him.

“He pops in around 11 p.m., and we chat away,” he told The Dodo. “I keep [a few feet] away from him, just so he feels safe. [I] leave a window open [and] he normally pops out by 6 a.m., back to his favorite walnut tree.”

Since sharing the original story, Foley made several updates saying that the bird is enjoying its time on the property. Mr. Hoot still comes for regular visits, and Foley is talking with experts to see how he can help the bird.

We all know that owls sleep standing up, right? We’ve seen this on photos, in documentaries, and read about it in books. But no one got around to tell us that this only applies to adult owls.

Baby owls, on the other hand, sleep just like baby humans. They lay on their stomach and turn their head to get cozy before surrendering themselves to sweet dreams.

Journalist and author Mark Rees found out this just recently and decided to share the info with his Twitter followers. According to Rees, the reason why baby owls, or owlets, sleep this way is because their head is too big for their body.

It turned out that there were tons of people who also heard about it for the first time, and his tweet quickly went viral.

Owlets are able to sleep like this even when they are on trees. Using the hallux (their back toe), baby owls tightly grip the branches, and that way, they can keep themselves in the same position even when snoozing.

After Rees’ tweet, several other posts about sleeping habits of baby owls resurfaced on Twitter. Check them out below.

Owls are magical, nocturnal creatures that have beautiful colorful feathers, huge eyes and adorable faces. Did you know that there are 216 species of owls?

Owls hunt their prey at night, so we don’t often get to enjoy their magnificent beauty. Daniel J Nevares, a talented nature and wildlife photographer, took some stunning owl shots for us to admire.

Nevares’s detailed photographs of these mysterious creatures are something we’re not used to seeing every day. Nevares has more than 34 thousand followers on Instagram and right now he’s planning a trip to Mongolia. We hope to see more stunning shots from this country in the near future.

With their beautiful and colorful feathers, adorable faces and huge eyes, owls are just the cutest birds in the world. Most owls are nocturnal and hunt in darkness, that’s why we don’t often have a chance to see and enjoy their beauty. That’s why we’ve prepared a list of most adorable owl species. Take a look.

Long-eared owl

This species can be found in North America, Europe and Asia. Long-eared owls often use old nests of other birds like crows, ravens and magpies.

Great gray owl

Don’t let the name fool you – great gray owls are not the largest (the heaviest) owls in the world. But with their long tails and fluffy feathers, great gray is the longest species of owls.

Barn owl

The barn owl is the most widespread owl species and is known by many common names such as white owl, silver owl, demon owl, ghost owl, death owl. It can be found in all parts of the world and you can recognize it for its beautiful heart-shaped face.

Northern pygmy owl

After some larger species of owls, here comes a tiny one called the northern pygmy owl. It’s native to western North America and is around 6 inches long. Unlike other owl species, northern pygmy owl is also active at dawn and dusk.

Striped owl

This beautiful, medium-sized owl with large ear tufts can be found in South America, and parts of Central America. This owl has shorter wings than its relatives and is a nocturnal creature, so it’s not easily seen.

Owls are extraordinary animals for numerous reasons. They are excellent hunters who have enhanced hearing, night vision, and are masters of camouflage.  The studies have also shown that these magnificent birds can use some primitive tools and tricks to lure their prey. As it turns out, the extraordinary part doesn’t end here, since owls can also drive man-made vehicles.

A viral video spread around the internet recently, showing a cute little owl riding a Segway across a plaza in Moscow City. The owl drove up and down before deciding to take a rest for a few seconds. Something even more impressive followed, since it then managed to turn around the Segway after her trainer called her and steered it in his direction.

Check out this amusing video below.

There’s a family of owls that started their life on a ledge of one of the buildings at UCLA’s campus and now all grown up, they spend their time staring at the workers inside the office.

Professor Michael Lens tweeted about the owls’ presence and his post quickly went viral.

“Owls were born on my colleague’s windowsill a few weeks ago and I. Just. Can’t. Even,” Lens wrote.

The rest of the internet “couldn’t even” either, as the tweet was shared more than 40,000 times and the post became fodder for some Twitter owl puns.

Are you a fan of unlikely friendships? We know we are, so today we have a heartwarming story of Ingo the dog and his feathery friends.

Ingo and friends are photographed by Tanja Brandt, an amazing animal photographer who loves her extended family. She finds that dogs and owls are not only great models but also incredible friends to keep close by.

“I’ve always loved animals, since I was a baby, unlike the rest of my family”, Tanja says. “When I was little, I found every sort of pet and then hid it from my parents. I love the beauty, power, loyalty, courage, and friendship of animals. Many people could learn from them.”
