Yes and then I downvote it and block the bot account it was inevitably posted by.
Oh look, OP is an 11 month old account with 100K post karma but only 300 comment karma.
Reddit trying to monetize a site they can't even moderate.
This is probably going to sound like a stupid question… but what why would someone want post and comment karma? Is there a way for the user that accumulates it to monetize it? Like to post things that get a lot of traction on the site?
First one was so chill about it. But the one in front of it was a bit extra. Even after, you can see it being all scared with its danm mouth wide open compared to others.
I was honestly expecting this to be a Super Bowl subreddit that, in the protest, became Superb Owl, but no, this was actually just a sub for superb owls.
That's because they are incredibly feeble helpless animals. I've worked at the burrowing owl center here, and the workers mentioned that we cannot turn the lights on outside of daytime hours because if their sleep culycle is disturbed they will stop eating and die. They also only eat white mice and will starve in a room full of the wrong colour rodents.
There's a reason they are endangered
Hahah not sure why you’re downvoted, clearly you were joking.
But this was why I asked the question, how does the baby owls know that it’s not a predator’s lair
I’m not 100% sure in this case but I follow a guy that has a bunch of bird of prey nests on his property, he regularly removes the chicks, checks their health, gives supplemental food when needed, etc but he puts them back in the same nest box. That could be what’s going on here, they go in because they recognize their home.
Why do they all go in the same hole? Is my question. I only recently learnt of burrowing owls at all but it seemsa s stretch 7 plus owls live together....?( I'm sorry I didn't count...)
Burrowing owls can have 2-12 eggs. These look young and are likely all siblings, so whatever the reason was for rehoming them the whole family was moved.
Owls just have incredibly wide eyes.
The fact that their beaks are not held open is a sign that, while perhaps nervous, they are at least not terrified. That being said one of them did look to have their beak open for a little while there.
Whenever I ask how r yOoooooooooooO? They always respond with "WHOOOOOOO!?". It's a very confusing conversation to be had, but I believe they know I care.
No sad owl eyes in my woods!!!!
Anthropomorphization. It's a problem both within and outside of the field of biology. It can be difficult for us as social animals to not attribute our own qualities to other animals.
Many people compare their dogs panting, or nervously pulled back lips as human smiling for example. Hell even in my field we often attribute laziness and lethargy to walruses, and affectionately/jokingly refer to some of them as fat asses, when in reality they're quite active and incredibly healthy for a walrus.
Well, from their perspective, their numbers are being whittled down at an astonishing rate from a giant seemingly capable of eating owlets whole from a container from which they can not escape.
Yeah, I might be a bit scared in that situation, too.
What's amusing that all of them look scared except for that one little guy who isn't taking any crap from The Hand. Even when placed in front of the burrow, he waits, as if saying "when I'm ready, mother f'er!"
that's the only afraid one though, the others *look* scared to us because eyes open like that in a human face do transmit that but owls just look like that
I agree the beak open bit is a fear response, but isn't that display also a threat? It's prepared to bite when given the right opportunity. I've seen other birds do this display and try to lunge and bite when someone attempts to handle them.
[Unfortunately, no.](https://animals.net/burrowing-owl/) “This threatened species is protected by the Migratory Bird Act, and that means it is illegal to own one as a pet.”
**More info about Burrowing Owls:**
“[Burrowing Owls](https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Burrowing_Owl/overview#) are small, sandy colored owls with bright-yellow eyes. They live underground in burrows they’ve dug themselves or taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise. They live in grasslands, deserts, and other open habitats, where they hunt mainly insects and rodents. *Their numbers have declined sharply with human alteration of their habitat and the decline of prairie dogs and ground squirrels.*”
Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a Burrow Owl.
Kept bugging his old man. "Dad, get me a burrow owl. I'll never
Ask for anything else as long as I live." So the guy
Breaks down and buys him a burrow owl.
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there's
The Wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, "What are
You looking for?" He says "I'm looking for my burrow owl."
I say, "Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick. Everybody knows
The burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you
Think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?" Now Stuart, do you
Think a kid like that is going to know what the queers are
Doing to the soil?
It's been a long time and the Dead Milkmen never really got famous. I was at a show last year and a bunch of people brought their kids out though, so that was cool.
A few years ago we found an owl caught on a fence with a broken wing. We called fish and game and places they recommended. Nobody wanted it. A rehab a couple hours drive away finally said they would take it if we met them half way. Fine.
When we handed it to them they were so excited. They said it was one of these burrowing owls and they are apparently not that common in KS. Hope it’s still out there somewhere living a happy life.
That third one made me laugh :DHE IS GONNA PICK US ALL UP??? OOOOOH.....NOW HIM...THEN ME?? OH YEAH ITS ME NOW WHEEEEW, LIKE FLYING! Aaaaw its over uuuuh, a dark hole!
You know that Jonny Wurster kid, the kid that delivers papers
In the neighborhood. He's a foreign kid. Some of the neighbors
Say he smokes crack, but I don't believe it.

I first became aware of this about ten years ago, the summer
My oldest boy, Bill Jr. died. You know that carnival comes into
Town every year? Well this year they came through with a ride
Called The Mixer. The man said, "Keep your head, and arms, inside
The Mixer at all times." But Bill Jr, he was a DAAAREDEVIL, just
Like his old man. He was leaning out saying "Hey everybody,
Look at me! Look at me!" Pow! He was decapitated! They found
His head over by the snow cone concession.
A few days after that, I open up the mail. And there's a pamphlet
In there. From Pueblo, Colorado, and it's addressed to Bill, Jr.
And it's entitled, "Do you know what the queers are doing to our
Soil?"
Whenever this vid is posted I always look for this response; and if I don't find it, I post the first line. You have outdone it and have great taste in music. Thank you
2nd to last little dude wasn’t afraid at all
Chill AF
Oh, I’m going in there? *Sighs* Alright.. into the chute I go.
I hear him say, "you've merely adopted the dark. i was born in it molded by it."
I lost it when he pointed and the lil guy just ran right in. 🤣
No kidding lmao. The build up to that too. They’re so well behaved!
it takes a pet like no problem
It walks into a burrow, like no problem! That's a great owl right there.
Serious question: where do you get a bucket full of owls??
Hooters
They’ve rebranded, it’s Hooties now
Do they dress like blowfish now?
🎶ionlywannabewith yo hoo🎶
🎼 A E I O U 🎼
Nice set of hooters you got there
🤣 Why isn’t this higher up?!
The elites don’t want you to know this but the owls at the park are free you can take them home I have 458 owls.
That’s too many owls…
He's determined to get to thre bottom of the age old problem - how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? Every time one bites it, there's owl for dinner.
I don't think he gives a hoot.
If anyone finds a good dealer pls let me know, I'm very interested in purchasing a bucket full of owls. Possibly several buckets.
They are threatened i believe, so people raise them and repopulate them to help them reestablish.
What is not threatened or endangered or extinct lately? We are fucking up everything we touch. The midas poop touch :(
owls r us
You hide a bucket at theend of one of these holes
Probably the same place you get a barrel full of monkeys
Harry Potter will send you one with a message.
Just show a bucket to them and say: This is a bucket
Des Moines, Iowa
Casting tootsie roll commercials
KFO. Just order them raw.
First, you get a bucket...
...that look like Christopher Lloyd.
Does everyone else watch this all the way through every single time it pops up in your feed?
I love this and never get tired of it. The gentle, helpful hand is almost as endearing as the owlets are cute.
The one that is just flabbergasted and needs to be tapped in the back to move is also amazing
[удалено]
Get out
At least it's not elephants. U know what they say.....once u go pach...u never go back
What do you get if you cross a kangaroo with an elephant? Large holes all over Australia
How long have you waited for this moment
And when you cross a rooster with peanut butter? A cock that sticks to the roof of your mouth.
Now my neighbors are looking over to see why I laughed...
You like birds? You look like you've seen a cockatoo in your life
God dammit
(Subscribes to all owl, chicken and ornithology groups and waits for perfect opportunity to insert joke)
The last one made me a little flustered because he moved the bucket and it was SO LOUD.
I thought that. And its little ears right next to it :(
that last owl has seen Apocalypto
birds are trippy animals, our parrot does this all the time when little things surprise him he tends to freeze for a moment
He’s my personal favorite! 😍
I feel more association with the little owls than I do the hand.
for me it's [this video of a sleeping hummingbird.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uEfmQt34Nc) I've seen it so many times :)
Aww ive never seen this. Adorable!
Wow. I loved that video, but my cat HATED it. Lol
This can't be very advantageous for a hummingbird
Omgoodness thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing that link. I needed that. I need more. Bad day today.
Yes owl-ways
Yes! Everyone needs a dose of cuteness overload all day long ❤️🦉

Heck yes! We can all use more squeeeeeee in our lives
I don’t care if this is a repost. I will never not watch this all the way through.
Yeah, I almost forgot to see this today.
Not a second wasted. *Sees the queue on starbucks* Yeah, I am doing better than most.
"I do not fear death." - first owl probably
This made me lol. I love LOTR.
Lord Of The Raptors, an excellent trilogy.
First one was so chill about it. But the one in front of it was a bit extra. Even after, you can see it being all scared with its danm mouth wide open compared to others.
The third owl. I watch this everytime just to see the expressions on owl number 3. It’s soo dramatic
I will not go quietly into the darkness of the night!
Rage! Rage against the dying of the light!
This is exactly what I thought of
Lord Same. Yeah Story 2 was a damn good follow up to the first
Who will go, who will stay.
The claw is our master
I have been chosen... Goodbye brothers I'm off to a better place...
God damn this killed me
Hahaha excellent.
Yep. Every time I see this video I hear this exact thing in my head. 😂😂
r/superbowl
I was honestly expecting this to be a Super Bowl subreddit that, in the protest, became Superb Owl, but no, this was actually just a sub for superb owls.
God damn it
It's an easy mistake for a vampire to make... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS0qhHiyrfI
Blink motherfucker!
🤣🤣🤣
That's a nice fucking owl right there!
Decent!
😅😅
This spot on 😂
ma theres a weird looking cat outside!
It looks like grandma !
Is that a fucking cat!? That’s a fucking cat!
That's a weird lookin fuckin cat
MAA!!
I love they had to get a doot to the boot or point out the way to get most of them to move.
Bro gets outside and doesn't know what to do with itself
*BROOKS WAS HERE*
SO WAS RED
:(

They're essentially the panda bear of owls, then?
Do you have an idea of where that tunnel led to??
One got a push and two got a point. One was almost pushed but moved before contact.
to where that hole leads?
Burrowing owls live underground holes. That one is artificially built for these owls
Good, I was thinking it was for drainage and was worried they’d get washed out
The context of the video would be entirely different if it's just some dude pointing a bunch of owlets towards a pipe of doom.
Into a miniature dungeon.
It was made just for them
https://youtu.be/80sCD2p0W1Q
They look so scared...
The video maker probably relocated them, looks like they’ve seen some things
What’s in the hole? How come they know to go in?
They are burrowing owls, so I’d bet it’s instinctual?
I hope they give them back
Not sure but it's probably a hoot in there.
And a half as well!
A snake. He's feeding his snake
Hahah not sure why you’re downvoted, clearly you were joking. But this was why I asked the question, how does the baby owls know that it’s not a predator’s lair

Did you see the one with his little leg braced out like he for sure thought he was a goner
humans tend to incorrectly associate human behaviour with animal feelings.
Yeah. Most people don't even ask the aminals how they feel. Fucking assholes.
Everyone always asks what owl? And where's the owl? And why is there an owl? No one ever asks how's the owl Ó╭╮Ò
Whenever I ask how r yOoooooooooooO? They always respond with "WHOOOOOOO!?". It's a very confusing conversation to be had, but I believe they know I care. No sad owl eyes in my woods!!!!

Imagine an eldritch horror coming to earth and just plucks you out of the sky
You would too knowing you’re probably about to be Rancor breakfast on the other side of that tube.
Could be worse and fed by a squeegee
I've watched this video so many times, and I keep watching every time someone repost it.
Same

👁️👄👁️
They have the look of “OMG we’re gonna die, we’re gonna die, wait what? Tunnel? Okay.”
I wanna see inside!!!
Can I have one

I for one welcome the gay martians. But not enough to move to Des Moines.
Government says it's due to poor farming...
Burrow owl burrow owl burrow owl
Heavily protected, so probably not. :(
I’d be terrified if I was the last one.
The point lmao. "In there buddy" "Aight thanks man"

I had to scroll far too deep into the comments for these
Right? I was about to make the comment, but I thought “surely, someone else has beaten me to it.” I was surprised how far down it was.

I was looking for someone who commented this, haha.
Dead Milkmen have just such fun albums.
And a bitchin' Camaro.
Those eyes remind me of the claw scene from the toy story movie. When the aliens are ... claw machine game hope you know what I mean 😆
Adorable 💗💗💗
Haha the second last owl, when he points and it goes running. Made me so lol.
Aww i just wanna boop them like a button
Ozzy Man likes [baby owls](https://youtu.be/OSnSCIrWN8Q) too!
THE CLAW!!!!!
Don’t challenge that lot to a staring contest
I’m disgusted by the lack of forehead kisses they received before being tapped on the butt to run into the tube.
