based on their nest finding characteristics, they should be called as Borrowing Owls

An angry looking prairie owl staring out its burrow is the cutest thing I've seen

[@DaimyoD0]

They are actually super sweet too. The Urban Rescue Ranch on KZbin has a few and they can be very sweet and affectionate animals when socialized to humans.

[@eduardoprieto7721]

@@DaimyoD0 I've never really interacted with them but ive seen around while hiking. They're inquisitive little hooligans

[@PulseOfOpposites]

I cannot believe how perfect and lucky this shot was: 0:11. It's like the owl knew what was happening and wanted its debut to be perfect.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Ever since I first heard of them from the movie _Hoot,_ I've absolutely adored these little guys. I knew that they collected dung to attract dung beetles, but had no idea they raised so many owlets at a time, so thank you for teaching me that. They're a perfect example of niches being filled by the most unlikely of animals, and I love them to pieces.

[@OneShotww]

I have never seen more than 5 owlets in a burrow. Didn't know they could have as many as 12! live in Florida and we have one of the largest populations of them.

[@snowkracker]

When I was a kid in the 80s we walked through a field and there was a hole in the ground. We were looking in it and started seeing something looking back at us. It was a family of burrowing owls. One of my oldest memories.

[@samuelaraujomedeiros6682]

I live in southeastern Brazil. There used to be a family of burrowing owls living just outside my house. I think they lived in a hollowed out termite nest. That was some eight years ago. As our neighborhoog urbanized, they disappeared. But I used to be amazed at them when I was a kid.

[@Voc_spooksauce]

Yo as a fellow brazilian that's cool as hell to hear, sorry to hear they are now rare where you live. What city are you from anyway lad?

[@cadburybunny]

Used to see these all the time out on my Aunt's farm as a kid. So adorable to see the lil babies skittering around like fluffs on stilts. Glad to see my home Province getting some positive videos about it again.

[@Beryllahawk]

Absolutely the most superb owls, indeed! I first learned about these little guys when my son got into the "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" books. At first I thought they were made up - owls living UNDER the ground?!? - but everything I've learned about them since has just been awesome!

[@crazioma6648]

Thank you for doing a segment on my favorite owl. I'm just tickled to see them - and the prairie dogs. I've argued with property owners for the dogs' protection on behalf of themselves and the owls (and others) for years. My dad was once a military range warden at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma decades ago when I was young, before the environmental movement really took off; and he was adamant that every little living thing kept something else alive with us at the top of the pile. "Take any of those little things away, and you'll find human beings falling off their pedestals, too." How right he was. NB. I am so enamored by the wonderful animal art! I'm gonna go broke next month sooner than usual.

[@mypal1990]

I saw a burrowing owl popping out of it's burrow one time. That stare says "I'm not having it! Shoo!"

[@TheDaniel366Cobra]

Around 3:36 and 4:50 the birds living inside that concrete slab are not burrowing owls. These are little owls living in Crimea, filmed by the channel My-Mriya Crimea Wildlife. Be sure to check them out, they have a lot of interesting wildlife videos.

[@jackielinde7568]

Burrowing owls can be found in Arizona. Estrella Mountain Community College (part of the Maricopa Community College network) had to delay construction on one of their buildings because a burrowing owl nest was found in the construction site. If I remember correctly, this was like a decade ago, and they were just waiting for the birds to "move along" before construction resumed.

[@BillFromAZ]

I live in Arizona and there is a group that relocates burrowing owls to other places when construction is taking over their location. Some burrowing owls do migrate to Mexico or Texas....but not all of them, so relocation is needed.

[@jackielinde7568]

@@BillFromAZ I remember in this story, the college specifically decided to wait for the owls to move. I think it may be due to babies and/or eggs in the nest. Then again, this was around a decade ago. There's news stories on it somewhere, if you can get Google to spit it out for you.

[@vangu2918]

A number of zoo in America have lost birds to the Avian Flu this and last year's.

[@22espec]

I loved seeing this guys near the limits of my city, there was a place were you can always see them everyday, it was a nice field of flower where they hunt without problem, sadly they are building a mall there now and they ae gone now.

[@LiamRappaport]

Petition to rename these Burrow Owls since they live in burrows but don't burrow. Also, fun fact, when you say -40 degrees you don't need to say Celsius or Fahrenheit since -40 degrees Celsius = -40 degrees Fahrenheit.

[@keata1315]

My favorite part of this video is around 2:45 when the owls are turning to look at the camera and scowling🤣

[@JackieOwl94]

I remember meeting these guys in florida where they are protected. A hawk was sitting on a pipe sticking out of the ground waiting for a burrowing owl to come out of its burrow. It made me sad, but the hawk likely got its meal.

[@Zeyev]

I was up close and nearly personal with one of them in August 2019 when I visited the Interpretive Centre of the Peace Gardens on the Manitoba/North Dakota border. So tiny. And truly interesting.

[@donregister4904]

Well, I tuned in for the owls, but the human was a pleasant surprise

[@deathsnitemaresinfullust2269]

They're So odd looking and kinda adorable at the same time. i love them, there are these little birds that live in my area and they run around and look for anything little moving around by stomping back and forth in the leaf litter with it's tiny feet and they look like little ground owls grabbing stuff. i leave out fresh water for the wild animals to drink and sometimes i put out steel cut oats, walnuts, unsalted almonds and other things that usually get picked up by various birds mostly the turkeys that sleep in the trees across the street, a few of them will actually eat stuff out of my hand or pluck it from my fingers but Absolutely will Not let anyone touch them. 😄👍 😄👍

[@MidnightWonko]

LOL Superb Owl! That reference is NOT lost on me! Also, fun bit of trivia: if you say "negative 40 degrees," there is no need to designate Celsius or Fahrenheit, as both are identical temperatures. Can we have an episode on wild budgies, please? ♥

[@RadishTheFool]

I'm pretty sure all owl species have long legs (look at owl skeletons). But these are usually hidden beneath their feathers. My guess is these extra feathers disappeared for burrowing owls because they didn't need the insulation as much, and the feathers were somehow hindering when living in burrows.

Owls mainly use facial recognition to avoid predators. The pigeon's facial features activate the cat's insulin receptors, making the cat want to eat the pigeon. But owls' facial features can make cats insulin resistant, preventing them from attacking owls. 🦜🦉
