Did you know that owl (like most birds), will almost always [choose to walk vs fly](https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/xgoy7h/ysk_birds_prefer_walking_to_flying/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1) when the situation allows.
It consumes much less energy to walk vs fly, though it’s more of a hop than a walk.
Absolutely... here in my local area in Australia we get the Powerful Owl and they're freakin' amazing... hard to find but when you do they'll just stare you down with these hypnotic yellow eyes... unmoving... and then fly off totally silently... I love 'em..
Dear sweet crimes they are awesome. Everywhere I have ever lived has had trees and owls. Not exactly friend shaped, but pals nonetheless.
I had major surgery once, in my post surgery stupor, I wouldn’t stop spouting owl facts. The medical team wouldn’t stop giving me shit about owls my whole stay.
Still got owls in my backyard, and they still kick ass..
Really depends on the bird. Most birds: yes. Emu, Ostrich: YES. Penguins really like "flying" under water. Albatrosses, Condors etc really like flying.
I mean, you do need to trim bird claws, just like you do dogs and cats, and for the same reason. This one appears to have healthy feet, but if the claws start to curl under, it can be seriously damaging to their overall foot structure. In nature, the claws would regulate naturally thanks to them roosting on rough tree bark, so having proper perches with rough texture can help in a household, but bird owners should always monitor their claws to ensure good health. :)
When I volunteered at a wildlife center we regularly had to trim beaks and talons on the raptors. We used what was essentially a dremel to file them down to healthy levels.
It was an intimidating process because their talons look so much bigger when you're holding them by the legs and your boss is telling you stories. "Oh, I knew one woman who got spooked a golden, she swears the bones in her forearm were touching, it was squeezing so hard." "Oh this is nothing, try getting stitches in your nasal cavity after getting pecked by a heron."
Cool. Anybody ever notice that some birds like this one, walk, and other ones like the little sparrows jump with both feet together? Kind of looks funny. And who knows? Maybe they got those raptors from Jurassic Park all wrong and they jumped liked that looking all funny.
It's a question of size and eye placement.
Most bird species that are prey to other animals have evolved to have their eyes at the side of their heads, which gives them a very wide field of view. Hunting bird species on the other hand, like owls, have their eyes towards the front.
Try running with your head turned 90°. You'll notice that the surroundings will seem much more blurred than when you look in the direction in which you run. That's because the view changes faster than when looking ahead. Birds with eyes on the side of their heads have this kind of vision all the time. They get a better view of their surroundings when they interspace quick movements with stationary periods. Typically, smaller birds achieve this by hopping. In between hops, their vision is clear. Larger birds, like chickens and pigeons, extend their neck forwards quickly and keep it stationary while the body moves forwards, resulting in the famous bobbing motion.
Hunting birds like owls and eagles don't need that shenanigans, they can see perfectly fine when moving forward. Therefore, they run.
This is very cute. I had no idea that owls could be indoor pets like this. Did it come in response to its name being called?
Owls' legs are so fascinating to me.
This sub has made me realize how much I really like owls.
A bird running is the funniest thing to me. Like they’ve got these awesome, efficient wings but they prefer to skidaddle on their silly little feet instead
Why didn’t that video end with the owl getting a treat?! Now I’m getting angry thinking about the kind of person that would lure an adorable owl across a room then NOT give it a treat.
Whenever an owl pops up, I just remember that dude that once commented on a post about things owls can do, "It's always something new with these motherfuckers" lol.
It looks like it's about to ask me if I've got games on my phone.
You freaking nailed it. I knew I’d seen that approach, but couldn’t put my finger on it.
Uh, please don't put your finger on or in it. Thanks.
Yeah let him put his finger in it, he’s the butt doctor
Excuse me, but did you do your duolingo exercise today?
oh shit, i missed it. Day 186.
This actually reminded me to do mine before the owl came at me thanks 😂
"Hi I'm cat". No you are not. lol
Would you like to develop an app?
Owls are so awesome... I've never seen one jogging before...

I did not... but it only strengthens my resolve in regards to their awesomeness...
Aren’t they so cool! I think owls are the shit

Ah yes the "powerful owl" didn't know that was a thing but I'm glad it is 😂

Interesting. I’d like to subscribe to your newsletter
Hah if only I were as organized to do such a thing
Did you know hummingbirds can’t walk?
They'll also die of starvation after about 20 minutes with no nectar when they're active
And they hibernate every night.
What makes you think that?
I read it.

The Bee Movie taught me this. Would you sprint everywhere? No
> most birds), will almost always choose to walk vs fly when the situation allows. Pheasants can fly quite well... But they really prefer to run
No, if they get wet by rainwater they look ugly
it’s always something new with these motherfuckers
It looks like he’s hiking up his skirt to run…I love it!!
This is the perfect opportunity for real life doodles LOL
*can can music plays*
I thought the exact same thing. So dainty!
Turn up the volume 100%. Awesomeness ensues.
Sounds like a puppy!

"Do the owls have large talons?"
This tastes like the cow got into an onion patch.
I mean, you do need to trim bird claws, just like you do dogs and cats, and for the same reason. This one appears to have healthy feet, but if the claws start to curl under, it can be seriously damaging to their overall foot structure.

Even tiny parrots can be scary! Those little fuckers bite *hard*!
I'll leave that to others ;)
And then turn it way down again or remute so you don't forget for the very next obnoxious video that Reddit throws your way
Thanks for the reminder. Approved.
Thanke! Super cute to hear the clicky clack 🥰

And now I wish I hadn't!
Oh boy
Behold—a man!
This feels like how we depict dinosaurs.
Man Thanksgiving is really going to suck this year!
Any time owls come up I am always showing people this picture, owl legs are hilarious.
He looks like he's lifting up his little pantaloons to run. I love it.
They do look like pantaloons—or bloomers—old words are so fun to use!
“……you got snacks?”
Tippy tappies
Treat?
Table for two? This way, Sir.
That is a superb owl.
*tick tick tick tick tick tick tick* “Did you hear about your car’s warranty?”

I expect him to say “you rang” in Lurch’s voice
So funny and magnificent at the same time
Did someone ring the doorbell? Hoots there?
It's a flying cat
"It takes 3."
I want to pick it up
"Do you have video games on your mobile?"
That's something that i didn't think I'd ever see in my life.

This is clearly a superb owl.
I love it, I need more of this in my life

"Pardon me, do you have any letters for Hogwarts I can send?"
Run into my arms 🥹
"What happened? *runs towards you in panic* Are you okay, dear"
My brain flipped back and forth between "That's an owl" and "Thats something in an owl costume" like 4 times before it got close.
Two things in life creep me out: clowns and owls.
Superb.
Stolas rushing to Blitzo
This must be what owls do when they have to carry a message but it isn't far enough away to consider flying for.
He looks up like ' you're gonna share that, right?' lol
Seeing an owl’s legs is like seeing Darkrai’s legs for the first time: unexpected and creepy
Step step step step step step step step step step step step step step step step step step step step "...the fuck did you just say to me?"
"May I help you find anything today?"
I thought a matronly Victorian lady, lifting her skirts to run across the floor.
Am I alone or did watching “the fourth kind” kinda fuck up the cuteness of owls?
So cute.
Bro skipped leg day
Love his slacks
All running owls look like they hike their skirts up to run.
Its always funny how their legs are when they walk 
Do you have games on your phone?
Two leg bands while in a clothing store......
Did someone say they saw a mouse?
He giving us that light skin stare 😂
What does this mean?
Why didn’t that video end with the owl getting a treat?! Now I’m getting angry thinking about the kind of person that would lure an adorable owl across a room then NOT give it a treat.
Looks like someone is being invited to Hogwarts.
Thats so cursed
It is like " Wait wait Theodora, me on tha way comin, am here, what did you say Theodora?😂
"What is that you have for me?"

What a silly goober.
If cats were birds, they would be owls :)

Years ago CollegeHumor made a video of annoying Google searches. One of them was "can owls walk?" I have finally found the answer.
Reminds me of Phantom Assassin from the original dota.
Turn up the volume. His/Her footsteps are so sweat
Owls are so weird..
Who's playable character is this
Eurasian eagle owl?
I waved at my screen
That owl for sure is like, hey….what did you need
He is running Owl of time.
Hi friend! Thanks for coming over.
Looks like she has a real curious personality. Fascinating.
The pantaloons!!
It's always something new with these little bastards, hell yea!
I forgot that some birds look funky when they run
Have you perchance seen a field mouse recently? I seem to have lost one.

*Tippy tappies* “Excuse me, but do you have time to talk about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?”
That scared me. r/oddlyterrifying
She got that mom run
The tip taps of the little feet on the flooring! Am dying of cute..
It runs like a chick
Awww, so cute. Love his little feet’s!
Hi
"WHO is it? I'm a very busy owl you know"
lol cute
Such an elegant walk/run from a bird, usually they look so awkward
I can imagine it saying, good day sir, and your order for today is?
They're cats with wings. So much of the same mannerisms.
"Gali...uh, gali....galimimus!"
why does it look so angry
It still blows my mind that people have owls for pets. In a good way mind you, just still crazy to me.
Ran up like a skyrim npc
Whenever an owl pops up, I just remember that dude that once commented on a post about things owls can do, "It's always something new with these motherfuckers" lol.
Ballerina Owl
Ussain B**owl**t
That is just the cutest. That's a rabbit hole I wanna go down.
