- With 35 Great Horned Owls being admitted to our rehabilitation section last year, they are yet another commonly seen owl in Alabama. Ophelia was brought to the Southeastern Raptor Center in 2002 as a human imprint. A typical lifespan for a Great Horned Owl is approximately 13 years.
She is so talkative ❤
Love the hooting.. she's adorable..
Beautiful and talkative Lady!
One of the coolest looking birds on the planet.
I love that Ophelia keeps hooting for us. So cuuute! ^^ I had to watch this a second time. I am smitten with her. She is just so lovely!!!
That owl must have amnesia. It's forgotten everyone's name, but at least it keeps asking.
Underrated comment lol
aw she’s so cute
Very pretty. She was assisting with the lecture, putting in her two cents 😁
She is precious.❤
I don't know why I like so much owls
Because you have other things you don’t like. Like english.

@@txmetalhead82xk ty. But no need to rub it in I think he has had enough. Don’t encourage toxic reactions pls just behave thnx
Person: yeah she's just talkative.
Imprinted owl: I FUCKING LOVE YOU DAD!!!
I was kept awake last night for about an hour by two of these in my backyard--a male and female. Was worth it though, very neat to listen to!
Yes, my home backs up to a line of trees w/a field on the opposite side & in Autumn & Winter, two great horned owls will FREQUENTLY wake me up w/their hooting around 4:00 am (+ or -) & I can easily see their silhouettes in the highest branches of the trees. Guessing they’re looking for field mice that frequent that field & we have lots of squirrels around too. Their hooting sounds SO cool though my two cats get pretty scared.🤣
The funny part about this is that the Owl can just dip whenever it feels like it
It’s tethered to the pearch
😂😂😂
They have trackers, they’re trained, and they have leashes.
Like a deadbeat dad
i see a jess....
I was recently visiting my family in Pasadena, CA and every night, I'd hear the hooting of a great horned owl in one of the nearby trees. They really are magnificent birds.
the owl the whole time: " Dude stop yelling the camera is right next to you" xD
LOVE how vocal this owl is, especially since it's daytime! Every year, shortly after the fall season starts, there's a great horned owl that sits outside of my window and hoots. Used to scare the crap out of me.. I could never spot it! I'm not sure if it's the same owl each year but I like to think that it is lol what are the odds that it's a different great horned owl each year, that sits in the same tree, outside of the same window, and hoots for roughly the same duration? They amaze me!
Most great horned owls pick their spot, and stay. They use the same nest during the winter, summer, whatever they claim a territory, and stick within it. When they find a mate most mate for life. We have a pair of great horned owls in our backyard. We hear their mating every fall, and hear them talking back and forth nightly.
Don’t know what you’re beliefs are but growing up, I was always told that an owl that does that is someone from heaven coming down to check on you and let you know that they are with you. My faith isn’t what it used to be, I always thought and still think that that was a beautiful thought.
Fun fact is that their legs are actually longer. So technically the owls legs are hidden underneath it's feathers. They have long legs and they sit squatting
She's so pretty. Very talkative
thanks for the fantastic presentation of this great bird and raptor. Beautiful creatures worthy of our respect and admiration!
Wow! Thank you so much for showing this female great horned owl! What a beautiful creation from the Lord! 🦉Have a great day!
What a beautiful and majestic creature. Nature is awesome
Oh, she is so gorgeous. I'd love to have her as a friend and companion.
I live in Hoover, AL near Birmingham and we have woods in the backyard and at the side of our house. I’ve seen owls, hawks and deer in our woods. I also saw some other bird out back that was big and had a huge wingspan. I couldn’t tell what kind of bird it was though. Saw it only once, but that was enough for me to remember it always.
We had a owl fall down our chimney. We had to call game and fish to come get it out. He had an attachment that fit on our pool cleaning pole. Fished him out the top, brought him in the kitchen and tagged it.
Awesome bird.
She’s so chatty❤️ .
Encountered a Great Horned Owl here in Austin this evening while walking my dog.
Absolutely magnificent!!
i hear theses owls all the time. one of the great thing about living the mountains of PA
I remember shining a spotlight in my Grandma’s barn ’ big old barn ‘ and seeing one of these looking back at me perched way up in the peak, very large one, I was probably 8 or 9 as a kid exploring and I remember it scared the heck out of me, those eyes glowing, I’ll never forget that, oh, owls are beautiful, magical creatures, great video ❤️
She's absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️. I have stuffed Great Horned Owl toy I got years ago from the Columbus zoo.
I live in Rochester N.Y. and we have Owls. I hardly see and hear they! They kind of rare in the area.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL OWL. ❤❤
INCREDIBLE AND INTRICATE COLORING OF THE FEATHERS. STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL !!! 😍😍
THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING.
I love this owl, she just keeps going. It's such a comforting sound to hear and to watch them make it.
From time to time I will hear Horned Owls in the woods around my house. I always feel like I've gotten a special gift when I hear them.
I love your owl!! Such a beautiful majestic animal 😊!!!
Adorable owl
I think I have two mated pairs on my land. I hear them at two places opposite each other at night. I use no pesticides on my orchards, so my land is healthy for owls and other critters here in Tallapoosa County. The Great Horned owl is a fascinating creature to watch and hear.
Thanks for the video and the great work that you are doing! i LOVE owls and especially love Great Horned Owls. I see them quite often and I love them!
Fantastic vid. Just got the notion to look these guys up after hearing the species name mentioned for the first time in awhile and I'm hit w this super informative, to the point vid with such good visuals and camera work. Plus you're pretty close to Georgia where I've always lived and these guys indeed are often heard around here, an unmistakable element of the Southern ecosystem and one of my favorite animals.
her name is ophelia 🥺
I have a large forearm tattoo peice of a great horned owl. Growing up in South AL, I remember 1 particular great horned owl that stayed in the pine trees near the edge of our back yard. It felt like he/she came to this particular spot every night for years. He/she was not bothered by us at all and hooted at us quite a bit. Love these birds so much.
Ayyeee. 251 here
Wow, she's a _hoot!_ 🦉
Ow.
Owls are the most beautiful raptors.
I love great horned owls 🦉🤗🥰😚
Owl: Jeez. Where the hell did you get that tone?
My favorite type of owl, so beautiful! I wish I could pet it's soft feathers.🤗🥰💓😘
I live in the southern most part of Illinois. These owls are amazing and use to be everywhere in my neighborhood (had to guard my puppies years back). I met a man that had one. Not as a pet. The owl was more of a tamed visitor. One evening at sunset, he put on a leather gauntlet, extended his arm and this amazingly awesome great horned owl landed on his arm. The thing just wanted to chill with us for like 10 mins and then flew off. It was both beautiful and freaking scary at the same time. I asked him if it was his pet, he said owls are not pets. He said he was lucky to befriend one when it was young and it would visit him every day after work. I love that idea. That is how it should be. I haven't kept up with the guy so I don't know if the owl is long deceased, but I would love to have a visitor like that in my life. Not a pet, just a friend that hangs out from time to time.
By the way... Since our owl population has went down, we've had an over abundance of skunks. We need these owls back.
Also.. we have screech owls too. Damn things scream like a woman being murdered. Bone chilling.. but such cute (and mean) little bastards.
I hear them in my neighborhood around kitten season when those feral cats start having them. These owls are really handy.
😂 So wrong! 😂😂😂😂
Her relatives have been scoping out my chickens.
She is beautiful ... This is a great close up
beautiful Bird! Love her! ❤
I had one of these, even bigger in my pine tree in my backyard during the day in Long Island suburbs. I noticed after a half hour of sitting outside. Meanwhile, squirrels and birds were below eating, not knowing a death machine was like 30 feet above them. When it finally flew away, it’s wingspan had to be at least 4-5 ft. Thing was enormous. Unfortunately I never seen it sgain
She’s beautiful
Gosh, she stunning!
We heard one this morning at 5:00am outside our window in the Sonoran Az desert 😮. I’ve never heard one in this part of Az! We have Burrow Owls, which are much smaller and don’t have these vocalizations. I know great horned owls are fairly common all across N. America but just surprised to hear one here 🦉❤
Owls are so rad!
She is adorable. She must be related to Kaepora Gaebora because she is making sure we understand everything she's saying😆
At a lot of people are saying owls cannot be pets, we already know this, but because owls are known to imprint very easily when they're young, it's hard to not keep them as pets because they see you as the parent, all people should do their research on imprinting.
It makes a Whoo whoo whooo. I have a bird at night that makes a screaming dinosaur sound. What the hell is screaming outside. Someone says it's an owl.
I said "hey google, find me a gray towel".
I saw one a few days ago in Washington DC..first time ever in my life! 2am
WOW JUST WOW
She looks tired but I guess she didn’t mind the attention.
This anti skunk slander is unacceptable.
*I started looking for owls this year, so far I've seen, photography and videoed Great Horned Owl and Owlet 🦉🦉🦉 , Barn Owl and Owlet 🦉🦉🦉, Long Eared Owl , Short Eared Owl and Burrowing Owl*
He's hooting and winking
Awesome. Thanks for the video
I heard one of these the other week as I was eating dinner. It wasn't even that late at night, but it was dark enough.
I'm here because I saw one at work today. It let me get pretty close
I heard one at midnight and I couldn't sleep after
AOE2's owl BGM
woo~woowoowoo
She likes a chat
It seemed like she hooted every time he said” great horned owl”…
this owl stole my cow i swear !
Why did you not pet the owl?
she is a foxy girl I have a pair that has been staying with me and I m looking forward to the babies there is a nest they have already checked it out they have not mated yet.
I saw two of these fellas in my backyard. Fully grown birds too. Wish I got a better glimpse, but it was too dark to see the details
2:25 she liked that hahaha
Always hear/ see owls in my neighborhood such a lovely sound while I smoke my blunt
Does it eat fish? Can it catch fish in those streams / hidden rivers where the forest meets the river?
Would they eat cats ?
Yes
Anything that they can carry
Likely yes
Not unless it’s under 3 lbs. He says they prefer wild rodents.
@5:47, what is that chirping sound she's making? A few summers ago, I ran into a Great Horned owl a lot, and it would make a more aggressive version of that sound if I passed under a streetlight it was perched on. (It would also violently kick off the top of it, and the whole thing would shake as it flew off)
This one, btw- czcams.com/video/7DUSXZP376A/video.html
he's like a random dude just waiting there to be interviewed HAHA
It's like she's telling you to shut up
good
Oh très beau hiboux il y a les mêmes au grand parc du puy du fou french parc d'attraction à regarder sur internet info 👍✌🙋♂️😊🇨🇵
If there full grown at ten weeks. At what age came they breed?
They head feathers remind
me of cat ears.
Eagles do attach great horned owls.
i have a harris hawk that really can fly short distances with a male duck weighing 1200 gram while she weighs 940 grams flying weight.
Don't know what kind off bird could carry a dog but be careful what you say, it's not impossible i think
Pero que bellote
Owlabama
What's the owl's name??
Our barred owls are bigger than this horned owl. Maybe it's not fully grown?
Why are you yelling?
She is so charming! I want to kiss her!!🧡🧡🧡💜💜💜💋💋💋👄👄👄💄💄💄
Hoot
i prefer male owl
It look so fakeee
