*shocked owl face*
😂😂😂
Same with when she was told that she didn't belong in the dish drain.....
Lol
AN OWL IS SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE FFS NOT DOMESTICATED. DELUSIONS.
😢
@@nima5398 you are absolutely delusional sociopath. You are beyond funny if you think that any animal enjoys being lonely in the wild called starving suffering in the wild you are just another NPC who recites and copy paste other peoples comments about something you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Animals in the world live extremely difficult and brutal lives. If you think they are just frolicking about having the time of their lives you are clueless. If it was so great, living in nature and the wild 24 seven you would see humans doing it instead of 99% of them living in a home.
@@nima5398 ...Did you not watch or listen to the video? The lady said the owl is NOT domesticated. She is tamed, and she is still a wild animal. 😒
When she says "Michael" and her eyes go wide and her eyes basically say "Huh? W-what did I do?" I love it
I hear her eyes saying, "Mmmyyeeesssss?"
Cringe af
@@Djdoe939jd83j you're indeed very cringe human being. go touch some grass.
@Hero’s stuff I agree! Moni is cringe af 😂🤣
Moni probably doesn't even know what cringe means and just says it, cringe af.
It's amazing how different animals behave when finding food isn't a concern.
Just look at humans before the advent of the grocery store
It's also a matter of socialization with humans. Humans are very different with human socialization, as well.
@@kingssuck06 Flashback to the looting and riot during Corona first broke out lol
Like the Garden of Eden.
Good point
Michael just seems so happy to live up to the rep that owls have of being flying cats
They're called 'cat-headed eagles' in Chinese so yeah.
@@kytrensol9777thats a really cool name for this bird
So when is he gonna push over stuff off tables, and asking to be let out just to come back 3 seconds after
All birds are technically reptiles.
I found an injured owl and it was so cute and loving. The owl knew I was helping it and really appreciated it. After the owl got better at a sanctuary they released it back and it lives somewhere around my house. I go outside and will hear its hoots like it is saying hi to me. I felt privileged to save the owls life.
Your lucky to have that happen! I’m jealous 😂 I never find anything cool…😒 edit- not that there’s anything cool about an injured animal, didn’t mean it that way….
@@toribern816 I seem to be Dr Do Little that has had many stray, hurt and feral animals find me for help
thats so cute! glad you helped the little fella
@@toribern816 You never know when it will happen! But being out in nature (or having a cat that brings in wildlife) makes it more likely. Being observant also helps. A year ago, I was the passenger in a car driving down a mountain road at night while it was pouring rain, I was watching the rain and hail bounce off the road so long I became somewhat desensitized to the sight. Then I saw something bigger bounce in front of the headlights and I thought, "That's strange... that didn't look like hail..." It took my brain a second to register what I saw, but I suddenly realized a frog jumped in front of the car and said "Stop the car!" I got out in the rain with a flashlight and looked all around. I walked around to the driver's side and one inch in front of the rear tire I see this cute little frog looking up at me. If the car had stopped a second later she could have been dead. I was so relieved. We tried to get her off the road, or at least away from the tire so we could move the car, but she didn't want to budge. She actually acted like she wanted to come with us, so after some heavy deliberation, we took her home. She's been with us a year now and seems happy. I never thought I would have a frog, but most of the animals I've cared for came into my life through strange, unplanned circumstances.
Really lovely story. Thank you 🦉
i actually really, really like this video, moreso than a lot of dodo videos, because not only is it adorable and heartwarming to see an animal, especially an unusual-pet animal, as part of a loving family but the messages of "i would still never leave an animal alone with my kids" and "i am highly trained DO NOT do this if you are not highly trained" are really good
You said exactly what I was going to comment. People need to know that NOT everyone can, and is allowed, to do what she is doing.
Yeah, I was just rolling my eyes at the original video (with Michael in the passenger seat) thinking it was another dumb person trying to have an "exotic pet" but it turns out, they know what they're doing. Kudos to them.
So agree!!!
The videos with wild animals becoming "pets" I think encourage people to get an exotic or wild animal. In my opinion, Dodo is pretty good about their presentations. They usually have the person who ends up with the animals say disclaimers. Like, "they are to remain wild", "there was no other option", etc. Other channels, not so much.
I love how this is common sense but still has to be said, lol
Actually?? It's a no brainer
"Give me the yarn. Owls don't knit." Oh my gosh, that's so hilarious and it's so sweet to see so much love between Michael and his family. 🥰🥰
I read Michaels lips she said yeah huuuuhhhh
Apparently Michael is a she
Looks like: WHAT!? WHAAT??
For anyone saying owls are basically just catbirds, in Chinese, owls are called 'maotouying' which literally means 'cat-headed eagle'.
This was one of the most responsible Dodo videos I’ve seen. I really appreciate how much she stresses that not just anyone can raise an owl, that she never leaves it unsupervised with her children, and that Michael is still a wild animal. THANK YOU, ALURA!
Hello… How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
They don't want people to own the birds because they want to corner the market on selling exotic pets. How do you think she stay home all day with bird?
@@Unmaleablea husband with a good job
@@Unmaleablethen i guess the people who told me i shouldn't raise a fully grown elephant inside my apartment were also trying to corner the exotic animals market.
You'd think after the whole Harry Potter everyone-wanted-an-owl-but-it-was-actually-a-terrible-idea debacle people would know better but it's always for the best to remind people.
"What kind of dog is that?"
Yup that's exactly what I would have asked too. 🤣🤣🤣
Its a cat
@@jameshuspek with wings. 😂
Flying Tiger.
My brain just went What the dog doing after that phrase 😂
I would have said: "Oh, a bird. Well, Owl be darned!"
The bond between humans and animals always makes me want to cry tears of happiness.
Real life Ori and the Will of the Wisps
You and me both
Her fluffy legs when she runs 😍🤣🤣🤣🦉
I am sooooooo glad she stressed how she IS a SME (subject matter expert) and the importance of non-licensed folks not taking on this enormous responsibility. What an awesome family and story!
I just wish she would have shown some of the reasons that you need to be an expert to have a pet owl. The video just showed her playing with the owl and letting it go wherever. Someone might watch this video and think "What's so hard about this?" and try to get one on their own.
@@MissTXTee cause it's a wild animal they said it
@@Hollowmello1285 that's a single reason yeah we get that, but people want to see more of what it's like to have one aside from just the fun stuff.
@@icypastasauce7240 You could get gurt
@@MissTXTee it’s common sense?
I love how much she talkes about what it takes to handle this bird correctly. People could take this as an invitation to go try and bring an owl in as a pet. Glad that part was addressed seriously.
It can't be THAT hard to raise an owl. An evening of watching videos and reading up on them can make anyone raise them, quit making it be like she's over there performing open-heart surgeries. 🤷♂
@Henry Johnson-Ville go ahead and try it. see if it's as simple as you think it is😂
@@henryjohnson-ville3834 inb4 this guy gets his eyes gouged out by an owl
@@henryjohnson-ville3834 Replace the word 'owl' in your comment with 'mountain lion'. If it doesn't still hold up, it's a flawed thought. Those claws and that beak are not for show. That bird is an efficient hunter. She said that there's a healthy respect between Michael and her 'siblings', but even despite that she also said she'd never leave her kids alone with with Michael. It would be the same with a mountain lion. Honestly the owl could be seen as more dangerous because she can fly.
Can confirm, raising owl is hard. I have a barn owl, called her penguin. Her claw are sharp as hell, her beak is no joke. And when she is in the mood for mating, she would be a picky eater, giving you attitudes, and sometimes wreak havoc.
The last image with Michael glaring down at the camera with owl decorations everywhere is like they're saying, "MY house!" So cute.
Ha, yep. Even though I thought that was Michael's reflection in the mirror
Michael is female, her caretaker said it multiple times
@@zachboyd4749 yep, I certainly heard that, I'm sure the OP did as well. Noticed it was uncommon for a female to be named Michael..
Why did you comment that to the OP? I can't see anywhere they said it wasn't a female
@@BuffaloNickel9
OP referred to her with a “they’re,” which is used when someone doesn’t know what gender something is. I wasn’t sure if OP caught that or not, so I was just clarifying.
2:03
Her look when told “that’s not where birds go” was that of “it is now mom” with the head buck and all 😂
"It's not a phase, ma!"
The Dodo is a great Comfort in a sometimes perilous world 👍😃🌈
Cringe af
@@Djdoe939jd83j commenting “cringe af” on a video about pure comforting events with animals is pretty cringe af
Yes it is!!! 😊🤗
Best channel on CZcams!
It truly is, I could have a bad day and then Dodo makes it better 🧡
I have so much respect for the lady who is raising Michael. She is doing everything the right way.
She has taken the time to study, and become licensed in the understanding of owls, and other birds of prey.
She is giving Michael his best life.
God Bless the both of them and the rest of the family!!
Michael is a girl owl. Despite being named Michael, the woman referred to the owl as 'she' and 'her' throughout the video, like when the owl had the yarn. -- just saying.
@@kathleenr4047 okay. Got it!
@teresa1107 I agree with you totally. I have so much respect for people like this lady who loves birds of prey and dedicate their lives to them.
@@shirley9240 Yes, Shirley, if I ever had an opportunity to do what this lady is doing, I would love to follow in her footsteps.
And she's hot.
So happy that Michael found a loving family to take care of her since she was deemed non-releasable.
Hello… How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
Probably non-releasable because she's not native to the Americas as an eurasian eagel owl.
@@MooamAt the same time, she is also TAMED which means she is too use to people and wild animals that are too use to people are usually non-releasable because of how they can come into contact with a human and risk being killed
*I appreciate her emphasis on responsible handling and care for the owl. It's important to educate people on the proper way to interact with wild animals, as they are not suitable as pets. I'm glad she addressed this issue in a serious manner*
Those big round eyes....Are simply mesmerizing!👀❤
Yes, owls have strangely human-like eyes
Yes and the owl’s eyes are nice too
A FN OWL SHOULDN'T BE DOMESTICATED? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE
The color of his eyes .... wow, so beautiful
Who* 👀 Me? 🦉 😂
Owls are so amazing!! I worked for an organization that rehabilitated orphaned and injured wild animals. One of my licenses was for birds of prey and we had a barn owl that didn't look like he'd ever be released. So for 3 years this amazing creature was part of my family. It was truly an amazing and beyond rewarding experience. Mr. Hoot was intelligent, affectionate, curious and filled with personality!!! Although bittersweet we finally were able to get him to the point of release back into b the wild. It was sad and I still miss him but it is where he belongs. Much to wherever you are Mr. Hoot!! 💖🙏😘🦉
That is a huge testament to your character. It sounds like Mr Hoot was an incredibly loved member of the family yet, as soon as you knew that a wild life was possible for him, you didn't hesitate to act in his best interests. You are EXACTLY the right kind of person to work with wildlife.
A massive thank you for your kindness and selflessness. This world could do with many more like you 💖👍 x
I love the name, “Mr hoot”!! 🥰
How did you qualify for that job and what education do you have for it? That sounds like such a unique job and I’m very curious.
That's awesome that you were skilled enough & lucky enough to get him back to the wild. I bet if he could he'd be telling stories about the time he lived in a crazy place.
I love that she emphasizes that this is creature with natural behaviors that must be respected. I wish that everyone would be as mindful.
I love how she looks like this O.O in every situation
Literal 60 to 70-year lifespan if not in the wild. Incredible. Michael, you and your family are amazing, wish you the best of luck and longest life possible for all of you.
It always fascinates me how owls blink like animatronics.
Owls are Real deal. I have a Eagle 🦅 and Rooster 🐓🇨🇵 in the countryside
@@christophermichaelclarence6003 Ils sont tellement impressionnants, majestueux et drôles à la fois. Et beaux à voir à l'état sauvage quand c'est possible évidemment
@@rootsgirl777 Ils sont majestueux
Here is a fun fact. *Owls eyes don't move.* And they don't actually have eyeballs. Here is a brief paragraph from online, and you can search for more info if you want it _"You know how we (humans) have eyeballs? Well, owls don't. They have eye tubes or cylinders, rod-shaped eyes that do not move in their sockets as eyeballs do. Instead, owls have to move their bodies or heads in order to look around."_
@@kathleenr4047 that explains why they can 360° rotate their heads
Apparently these owls live up to 20 years in the wild and even more in captivity. So this precious bird will be part of this family's life for a really long time.
40!!!!!
This lady is living my dream. I adore Owls ever since driving home from a late shift just before sunrise one shot out of the woods to my right, kept pace with my car just off my drivers side window for a few hundred yards like it wanted to play, then locked eyes with me for a sec before flying back into the woods by the side of the road.
I was tired at the time and it woke me up so I'm forever grateful to that feathery fellow for making sure I didn't fall asleep driving
0:07 "Michael is a non-releasable Eurasian eagle-owl....."
This, and when you list your accreditations meant I could enjoy this video. And enjoy it I did.
May you all live happily ever after.
She is such a beautiful bird! I absolutely love the fact that you have a state AND federal license to care for her. That way she is getting the best care possible and she is living her very best life! She is so gentle and very cheeky too! Thank you for sharing this and for your hard work with taking care of a wild bird, not to mention kids too!! 🦅❤️❤️👏👏👍👍👍👍
2:27 LOL THE HEAD MOVING BUT THE BODY STAYING
0:58 that run tho...im dead..
Wow you can clearly see that she loves her family and how gentle she is!! Wow that is awesome
ARE YOU FN DUMB? A BIRD OF PREY IS NOT TO BE DOMESTICATED EVER YOU GUYS ARE FN DUMB.
Owls are Smart and learn a lot.Michael is so cute and Funny but very gentle. Fits in to that family very well.🦉'Michael'
That owl is just beautiful and so gentle with her family.
Hello 👋 How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
I'm like this with our snakes, every creature has it's own behavior and when you understand it and show love and care it sends it back, no worries about the kids and other people...... You have a gorgeous bird, be happy and best wishes.....
I’m really glad that she talked about the dangers of doing this without knowing what you’re actually doing. Having an Owl imprint on you and your family, be gentle and understand you to a certain degree isn’t a normal occurrence.
I know they’re not pets. But she’s still living my dream!
I wish their was more backstory on she came into this lovely family?
Likely a rescue, an abandoned or injured chick that she hand reared.
She was purchased. They imprinted her; she is not a rescue. The Dodo shouldn't highlight this without more clearly explaining that. Even though the owner did touch up on it in the video, it could have been emphasized more.
A non-releasable owl is:
an animal that cannot survive in the wild due to an injury, not being able to have babies, or not having enough resources in its habitat.
But the owner does say Michael has imprinted so after that; I'm guess, release is also not an option.
Interesting; not being able to have babies is an interesting clause....
@@StudioDaVeed I guess it's because she would be in competition with owls that can have babies so if the species is in danger it would make things worse
@@Maski110 it is an eurasian e.owl or "Uhuh". Exotic to american continent. It will dominate over am. e. owls. I guess the Amerivans are endangered.
Eur. Uhuh's were really endangered, it is getting better, also due to indivivuals caring for rescues (gene pool)🪶. And top secret nest cam's. This bird reigns supreme during night time in some large European forests.
Birds of prey are magnificent. Just beautiful. Leave them to those who know how to care for and handle them. This owl, is just phenomenal.
Respect and understand the animals. Alura is such good mom for owl Michael. Be professional and loving enough to hold a prey animal at home.
I am so glad that this wonderful lady made sure to emphasize that Michael is not a pet and it is not a good idea for the average person to try to have an owl in their home. I am especially glad that she mentions it can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. I think Michael is beautiful and she seems so happy with the rest of her "flock".
You are happy about stating the obvious? Women are so fucking weird its crazy
Oh wow, just read that the eurasian eagle owl can life up to 60 years in captivity! That's a long term commitment! Beautiful bird with a beautiful family!
Yeah, she likely won't live as long as the owl, but her kids will.
@@kathleenr4047 That's an equally sad and beautiful thought...

They can live to 70!
Michael is always sleepy, he is playing with family during the day, and during the night he really wants to play.
its A Female Owl.
Male Owls Are Smaller In Size
1:06 I don't know that I've ever seen a bird that tired before.
Glad to hear that you are licensed and know what you do. These animals belong in the wild, not in anybody's home .
Wow! Michael is sooooo beautiful, she doesn't even look real!😍😍 That kiss at 1:23 had my heart♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
so cute feathered member of that family, a very beautiful story.
I'm so glad you added that this is not something you can do off the cuff, this is not like getting a feathered dog or cat. You do have to be licensed and you have to know what you're doing. Michael seems to be a very happy, healthy and secure bird, thank you for giving her a loving and safe home, and part of your family.
I love owls. They’re beautiful creatures 🦉
This is a wonderful video! I love that Michael is treated like a person - not a human, but a living, feeling being. And Michael totally seems to completely understand what's being said, and responds appropriately. She's so spunky and intelligent.
What a wonderful career working with these beautiful animals all day long!
What an amazing owl! If only there was another word to express how cool they are.
Love the hug at the end when Michael was cuddling in 😭😭 3:09
Hello 👋 How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
I have always loved owls❤️🦉. I believe I got that from my Nom she absolutely loved owls, and she would absolutely love this. I wish she was still around so that I could show her this. This is such a wonderful heart warming story!! We are so lucky to have creatures like Michael in this world! ❤️🦉😊🤗
Michael the Owl😮 how adorable thank u kind Lady for caring for this sweet Owl 🥰🙏🙏🦉what a hoot
Alura mam you are a jewel ! Hope Michael and your daily can live a long happy life together !
It must be awesome to be around an owl when it's the same size as you!
The owl is stunningly beautiful. The family knows what they are doing, which is crucial.
Michel is gonna be one of those pet family members where your grand kids and great grand kids are gonna know him.
Owls are so pretty
What a wonderful woman to go to such lengths to nurture and maintain the interest of an owl. Kudos, lady. You're impressive, and so are your children and the owl.
1:50..Caught Red Clawed.. 😜😜😜. The best moment was when the lady said 'were her family now..my kids are her siblings' Michael actually accepted that fact and them as her family..A great family and a great video..thanks for sharing
She looks to be so gentle. I think she shares a true bond with you and your family. That’s so awesome. Would be cool to meet her.
And I hope that everyone will see one day that life is worth living as you see it.
The way Michael walk-runs at 0:59, though. She’s adorable!!!
Hello 👋 How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
What a privilege to look after such a beautiful creature. A vet I watch on TV calls owls the tigers of the sky as their talons and beaks are deadly. Such an awesome owl and I am so completely jealous!
Hello… How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
This is awesome. Those kids really are going to be like yo we had an owl!?
Her being realistic about everything just adds up to the awesomeness of this story 👍
Thank you for taking care of this beautiful bird. I love the way that Michael interacts with the children it's so amazing I would never think of an hour to behave that way. You do everything by the book and I like that. You have the knowledge to take care of these types of creatures and that's awesome.
LoL TAKING CARE WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ITS A BIRD OF PREY NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN CARS AND ON BEDS YOU GUYS ARE DUMB AF.
It’s stupid to leave her kids with the owl it’s a wild animal and if the kids hurt it it will be put down
@@N0N4M30 She clearly said she would never leave the owl and the kids unsupervised.
Owls are one of the coolest birds of prey. Bringing your kids up with an owl will teach them how to respect nature around them. If you get the chance, I would also use it as a learning experience, at your local schools.
Imagine someone breaking in, Michael would take care of business lol
Way to go! Need more animal educated people like you making a difference! Thank you! 🙏🏻👍❤️
Hello… How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
I love what your doing to make sure our babies get a chance to see a owl in the wild when they grow up. Thank you so so much for caring.
This does not really have anything to do with wild owls. Once owls are tamed, they cannot go back. She is very caring and that is very nice to watch.
Owls have the most beautiful eyes of all animals
I like to share this when it comes up. Did you know. . . . Owls eyes don't move. And they don't actually have eyes.

I'm glad that she talked about the education and training she had to have this bird.
When she scolds her and goes 'Michael!" I can't help but think of Emmanuel the Emu :D
This woman is awesome. She is very clear about why she has an owl and what kind of knowledge is needed to care for one.
Those kids and owl are experiencing such a unique lifestyle. Thats something you'll never see again, maybe not now anyways. Its so mind blowing how loving this owl is and so tolerant to the kids. I mean, giving she is wild the instincts are obviously there. But so gentle. Such a intelligent being to this world 🥰❤ thank God she(owner/handler) educated us at the end saying its not for anyone to own unless licensed and trained to do so. Such a wonderful video.
Omg I'm so jealous I want to snuggle with a beautiful owl
I know her daughter can't *wait* for show & tell day at school! 🦉
What a beautiful experience for you and your family. Thanks for people like this to give life to them instead of death.
So adorable
She is an awesome person to be taking care these majestic creatures
She is beautiful!! You are so fortunate to have each other. “Mutual respect” I believe you called it, I think the World needs to understand those two important words. What a gorgeous owl 🦉!! God bless your awesome family which of course includes your amazing beautiful bird. ❤❤❤😊
I love the Love they share with Michael. She's a beauty , so sweet and knows her name. Her Mom thank goodness to her and her children, they all have big hearts🥰🤗
She's adorable and those eyes are amazing! I was so glad to hear that this owl is being taken care of by a trained professional and loved seeing how she interacted with the kids.
😂😂❤ Michael is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! It's amazing and a true joy to see Michael as more than a pet.... They are SO much more than that! Love your video!💕
Michael is the cutest!!! 😍🥰 Thanks for being such a good mom to her. You have a beautiful family. May you all be together and happy forever! 🩷🦉🩷
I love when people take care of these beings that cannot be released and still tell people they are not meant to be pets. That is so important. So important. They deserve a full life they don’t deserve to be pets. In Michael’s case I am glad she took care of her. And gives her a good life. ❤
Hello 👋 How are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!
I simply love watching these Dodo videos! They never fail putting a huge smile on my face! This particular one hands down is my favorite! Thank you Dodo for all the smiles that you make happen!👍🦉😁🤍❤️🤍🥰😍
I have rescued two different bard owls. They both were such great experiences. I donated both of them to a local lady who raised a large variety of birds and she took them into the public for education purposes.
We're so lucky most animals choose to love us i don't understand why 🥹
They are all beautiful gorgeous birds.
