Big Boi is one of the few rappers I dig. This kind of explains a lot. He's on a different level.

He is a mc not a rapper there's a difference

[@jasonhines80]

He has an ARTIST in every sense of the word !

[@amytessmann8092]

He is so funny I love how he interacts with them lol 😂 you can tell he really loves them it's just not for show ❤️

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

Yesssss.

[@Toe_Fur]

Andre just wandering around playing the flute and big boi is an owl guy, OutKast really turned into Zelda characters

[@bamos8729]

I seen that meme on Facebook

[@ericsalidbar1693]

​@@bamos8729yeah they think they are slick they just look dumb as hell

[@thefishylife6823]

Yeah owls are dope!! I seen some in person the first time in my life a couple years ago and was astonished how beautiful they are, they almost look fake it's crazy!

[@OLJackson]

Big Boi is always my fave and we both love owls 🦉

[@ninobrown90]

those owls are amazing

[@volcaniadread]

damn i thought that was stuffed animals till he moved

[@irondjangus2166]

owl king confirmed.

[@G514NonProfitMinistry]

I love owls too!! This is cool to see that Big Bio loves owls

[@ariessun7273]

adore them.

[@mattjones8755]

He sounds like Diddy talking to a new artist I'll get that butt 😂

[@nSpiraliArchitectb]

"...PETA!" lol

[@melaniefayemusic]

so what's the bathroom situation with these? are they potty trained in some way? or do they just poop freely around the house?

[@E.C.Animation]

Owl keepers usually keep them tethered at a perch that has a ledge to catch droppings. They can fly but they are nocturnal. So they are fine to stand there during the day for a time. Usually they are in aviaries though like he said his friend has one and takes them when he's not around.

[@ryancarona4199]

Big boi just loves animals

[@beanbean9990]

So this makes sense why he colabed with Owl City and why he said hooty hoo in his verse.

[@ghostlyjudge]

outkast the true real life video game characters i love it

[@mikewilkins2030]

He is amazing!

[@WolfWould]

That's awesome 👍. I've got a vintage metal owl ice thing I put cookies in. Always liked owls

[@luckyowl111]

I can’t wait to have one my self 💯

[@edunlap6594]

They're beautiful 😍❤️😍❤️

[@Maestrodhont]

This is why Oukast is one of the best in Hiphop ever

[@caitlinsoliman1658]

Molech satan

[@MrG77]

Amazing Big Boi. I was once walking in a shopping centre and seen some giant wood carvings of owls. But when i walked past it turned its head and i shit myself. It was no carving it was an eagle owl. The most beautiful powerful amazing creature i have ever seen. 🙏

[@vanessabarnes1931]

No they stare like that because their eyeballs are set they don't move in the sockets that's why they move their heads in such swaying and rotating swivels that's how they look around they move the whole head 180 and look behind them ... And it's not that they mean death they come to help you get through a death the barn owl is my spirit animal I've always been able to draw a little bit but about a year ago I started painting barn owls better than I should have been able too ... The skill disappeared after my momma died of stage four cancer four months later....your owls are very beautiful the more company you keep with them the more you will bond take care of each other and the best of my intentions to you and yours ...good day

[@georgedanielsjr.3549]

Big Boi definitely has me wanting to own a couple of pet owls. I'm definitely going to look into it. They are so BEAUTIFUL and just chilling.💯💯💯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@ariessun7273]

yeah I'm obsessed with them to. studying for my falconry test. love me some owls though

[@LexisK]

My favorite bird! 🦉

[@skazzycfc]

[@kwaddamage8286]

[@bassssaasuuuup]

[@bamos8729]

Big Boi is one of the smoothest cats to ever walk this Earth

[@Mr.Designer1111]

Straight Fire

[@devp3916]

I was very happy he said he doesn't smoke around them. Birds are very sensitive to it.

[@katrinaholmes395]

The love it when you talk to them

[@sto1asgoetia600]

One reason I’d want owl, I can look the in the eye without getting my eyes clawed out like my cats do

[@blueskyz8097]

From pitfall To Pit Owls

[@ajaxtaur]

That owl at the end really didn't want to be touched.

[@v6ix89]

🔥

[@StickWuzHere]

I want one sooooo bad

[@DetenkleFriluftsliv]

If he´s such an animal lover as he claims he is he shouldn´t keep owls in captivity. This is no life for an owl. Even if it was born in captivity. It should be common knowlege. And that he even CONSIDERED getting a tiger! He said that the reason he didn´t get a tiger was because eventually it would kill him. Not thinking about the tiger that has to live a life in captivity. I chose to believe that he´s not just being selfish, but that he actually thinks that these owls are happy living like this. Unfortunately there´s too much of this shit going on out there. We shouldn´t be promoting this. So sad. :-(

[@Polarbarts]

Freedom in Nature Agree! Finally a reasonable person in here

[@abyss8190]

Freedom in Nature STOP SPAMMING

[@1s23d]

@King Charles It is perfectly legal to keep an owl or flacon or hawk as long as it's not native to north america. The federal migratory bird act states that you must have a federal and state permit to keep a native bird

[@1s23d]

@King Charles No you don't if that was the case you would need a permit to own a parrot. Alot of people don't know this but you do not need a federal permit to own an owl, falcon or hawk if the bird in question is not a native North American bird. You can't own a native crow or raven but you can own an african pied crow or african white necked raven no permit

[@bongrippa420]

Old like real owls? 😂 from the photo I thought they were just statues! And that’s how he get his inspiration while he’s in the studio lol. I had no idea this dude was into owls. Cool shit though

[@Biggboy29]

Sleepy brown and 85 south brought me here

[@cbreeze864]

If you truly believe that then free your pet dogs and cats. Release them so that they can be free from “captivity”.

[@ElisainNature]

@@cbreeze864 HAHA! Most stupid argument I´ve heard in my life! :-D Are you serious?!? Do you know what natural behaviour an owl has? Can´t believe you´re comparing cats and dogs with exotic animals. You should have paid some more attention in school. Lmao :-D :-D

[@cbreeze864]

@@ElisainNature You definitely got triggered and you know it’s true. Dogs are not meant to live in captivity inside your home or in your yard. You can’t advocate animal rights and hold dogs and cats in captivity as pets against their will.

[@ElisainNature]

@@cbreeze864 Haha! Are you serious??! I agree that you shouldn´t keep animals inside your house or your yard at all time. Of course not! If you do that you shouldn´t be allowed to have pets. They need exercise and to run free and also to have the chance to live out som of their instincts. But as a breeded animal they rely on humans to survive. I mean, are you kidding me?! Dogs and cats are breeded as pets. Don´t you see the difference? If not, there´s really nothing more I can say to you. ..Of course your comment triggered me, because I can´t really understand how you can compare owls, tigers and wild animals with dogs and cats. :-) They are both breeded my humans and are not meant to live free in the wild. Jesus!! :-)

[@abyss8190]

I hope you have a license to own an owl.

[@1s23d]

If they are not native to north america you don't need a permit. The federal migratory bird act.

He be smoking thru the night getting the owls high af in the studio and waking em up in the night cause they soo high

[@blogbat]

Ah, the Rolling Stone, which was proven in court to be conspiracy theorist wackos.

[@MrGreensweightHist]

Am I the only one that has no idea who Big Boi is and only tuned in for the owls?

[@azriel5776]

Yes Sir!!unfortunately yes!!!

[@gwendolynbray9371]

You just may be.

[@UPxYOURs2]

you must live under a rock

[@savlaw9377]

Just dumb

[@MrGreensweightHist]

@@savlaw9377 Nah, just not into rap More of a metal and classic rock guy. But Owls are the shit.

[@theresadavis8556]

Naaaaw. naw naw. THIS is disrespecting Nature. We should not OWN wildlife of any kind as it cruelly deprives them of living their natural life (finding a mate, having babies). You've stolen their freedom just because you want to have something 'cool.' So many discarded pets are dropped off at shelters because no one wants them...most get euthanized. You'd be cool, possibly even heroic if you adopted those unwanted animals instead. Right now you just look like a self-centered, show-off. Sorry if that's harsh, but I felt it needed to be said on behalf of those beautiful owls that will never have a natural life :-(

[@lolitbird7522]

You do know how many owls die before their first birthday right?? Close to 2/3 die before reaching sexual maturity. The wild isn’t always the best place for individual animals.

[@Jaykurosakii]

Lol those owls would die much quicker in the wild than in captivity

I love owls
