If you’ve ever heard the hooting of an owl in the dead of night, you know that these nocturnal predators can come off as quite spooky. Their huge, piercing eyes and their uncanny ability to turn their heads almost all the way around gives them a bit of an eerie edge. However, even these intense-looking birds have their goofy moments! We’ve rounded up some of the funniest owl videos on the internet to highlight a different side of these creatures.
After watching the clips below, you might think to yourself, “Wow, owls are actually really cute. I want to take one home!” Unfortunately, it’s illegal to own a pet owl in the United States.

Only licensed handlers should be caring for these animals. That said, it’s still ok to admire an owl from afar, perhaps at a bird sanctuary or even just in funny owl videos!
