Adventures of Alfred, the Owl Chick

[loveowls]

Yes, all owls are curious. When I saw his first reaction to it I had to video it, but after that, owl and mop did not meet!

[meddetect10]

I didn't realize they were so curious-cute upsetting the knitting on himself. Enjoyable, but please, no more with the mop. He was angry and making that clacking noise because he was irritated.

[Blackhorn6]

Didn't anyone teach this owl that sitting this close to the TV can hurt your eyes?

[loveowls]

@Blackhorn6

Don't worry, I only let him sit there for the video! He's a big grown-up owl now and has a good home in Scotland.

[EmleeLikesTurtles]

It sounds like you're talking dirty to the owl. He's cute though, so I'll let you off. ;)

[YayGreenDay000]

this is adorable! ^_^

[seencemore]

now i want an owl

[Shinzon23]

lolz. I sense that owls care who wins at soccer like us too!

[allcatslover]

how beautiful he is!

[l1z4rdbr34th90]

Why did you let him watch tv? He's gonna get terrible eyesight sitting so close to it...

[JillyMarieee]

[XBlackxSpacexVortexX]

[digimaster88]

[actors504]

[BORINGGULL]

ｃｗｅｅｐｙ　ｏ＿Ｏ

[GiriahGozRawr]

Just also realized owls such as this one reminds me of furbies...

[MacMalte]

[Jah2070]

[maz3mind]

I think you two are very cute :)

[MissWingatesHellsing]

is that a guy? he watches matches motionless, makes mess and doesn't like moping the floor. just kidding. He's so beautiful and calm. it's funny that young owls look more like fluffy kittens than birds

[DanFrederiksen]

funny when they do the parallax gyration with their head. it's a 3D scanning. but the monitor is flat

[xxmb65]

i never thought of a great horned owl as being cute but this is cute! so cute when it was watching tv <3

[TheDoodlibop]

fluffy wuffy cutey patootie pop!! I can't wait to get to heaven. Think I'll own an owl... or six! ;D

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

i wonder what its like to look through owl eyes, he was staring so intently at that screen

[PrayerWarrior4Him]

It's sooo fluffy I'm gonna die!!!!!!!!

[trilbynhiss]

That got me a little weepy.  What a sweet gentle little guy he is. I hope he's living a wonderful life as an adult owl right now.

[KuroNoRoze]

His stare at 0:25 - 0:30!!! CUTENESS!!! ><

[leatherfacefan1974]

00:23  e v O *nomnomnomnom*

[luckybirdy99]

He's sitting to close to the TV D=



[IrisMG]

Just precious. Look at those eyes. Love owls.

[Yarikh91]

owls are so much like cats... in so many ways.

[Grim260]

From south park vs Muslims to weird creatures to this. Great way to end a YouTube hour surf.

[Pinapple411]

I just had a heart attack right now from the utter cuteness<33333

[Vanodi]

You're good at imitating owl sounds. :D

[megamonsterhouse]

4:15 LOL

[megamonsterhouse]

It knew to attack the mob but not you, well done training it. And it's good that you taught it to make itself look big, unless it's just instincts.

[mubudubum]

I didn't know Herbert from Family Guy had an owl!

[TheFrozenEden]

Gorgeous.

[soulreaperdude1]

OMG JUST LIKE LAST VIDEO I WUS GUNNA POST CO ZA ASY

[tayymariable]

[powningdanoobs]

[NumberTwoRox]

0:26

Gave me nightmares

[Jet390]

@NumberTwoRox lol

[Chase042]

omguhhhhhhhhhh, so cute

[jawzvsshark]

your quiet breathing and baby talk makes me really uncomfortable

[piggypoo]

@jawzvsshark

I was half expecting something along the lines of Buffalo BIll, not weird and sweet owl lady.

[BlackHellsingAngel]

He is a very, cute owl! He looks very fluffy and he is a sweetheart!

[HarzdKaar]

У авторши голос как у некрозоопедоорнитотаксидермист­а))))))

[newloser]

Alfred is very brave for facing off with the great and terrible mop - I can't say that I've ever won against that foe.

Wonderful video - Alfred is quite the handsome looking owl.

[Iamtheowl5]

Major props to Loveowls for posting this video and even bigger props for the disclaimer at the beginning of it. Also look at his little horn tufts! D'awww

[ClintJohnHampton]

I would never be able to give him up, ever

[Punkylolita]

Awww you are the sweetest caretaker for this owl!!! I can tell he's deeply loved :)

[frostkiss2]

You're such a good bird-mommy, I envy the the owl :)

[bolomolodec]

Шварбру себе в жопу засунь, тупая скатина!!!!

[TheMiniGameShow]

O rly?

[sompret]

@TheMiniGameShow

Ya Rly!

[AnnoyingSquib]

What a beautiful chick! I can tell Alfred likes you alot considering how he gently nibbles you with his beak. Just looking at his beak and talons tells me that even though he's still a baby, he can do lots of damage and not just to a mop!

[BaH1589]

l0l aaaw hes soo beautifuk

l0l he was scared of the mop po0r bby l0l

[rebelrecording]

i seen where some birds click their beaks when in "killer mode",or to put it lighter,spooked.is that him clicking at the mop?sounds loud,but that could be closed space,mic settings,such....

[ToffeeChips19]

Even owls like watching tv, lol. Such a beautiful little bird. I love owls! ^.^

[Daghead]

WOW! AWESOME!

[Muffintop2k7]

the guy sounds perverted and scary like he molests the owl.

[metetta]

Owls remind me of cats for some reason :)

[poaeypark]

thats cool but this little guy eats more then 3 kids with parents getting W.I.C . can you claim the owl as a dependent on your taxes .

[poaeypark]

thats cool but this little guy eats more then 3 kids with parents getting W.I.C .

[MrChachamoon]

The owl feels great, and lady pays a lot of attention. There is good connection, and pure unconditional love. I find nothing wrong with it. Surely a research about these birds must be done to make it easy for the bird and the lady. 

[ShopiStar]

at 3:32 I hope nobody's watching *Pounces basket*

[Pinapple411]

Cute!~♡

[RaiteAmano]

ITS SO CUTE IM GONNA DIE!~!!!

[dustziggy]

@RaiteAmano ITS SO FLUFFY!!!

[pol4co]

Fantastic!!!!! 

[nicolenotincluded]

His face at 0:27 is adorable

[tutm4n]

2:16 Hahaha TV owl. Oh that saved my entire day.

[murphy13295]

my Brothers first Bird was a Great Horned Owl, I remember watching that Owl who was not yet fully mature eat a small chicken whole {a pullet} that Owl started with the head and just started crushing and swallowing,took about two hours till just the little chicken feet were sticking from its beak ,Owl just sat for another hour pluss till those also disappeared down its crop.Looked like he had a lollipop sticking from its beak

[salamanderstorm]

isnt this imprinting?

[Kiptlan]

Mop is great deadly enemy!

[thelazeeone]

OMG, Alfred watching television was the cutest thing ever- he seemed really enthralled by the moving pictures on the screen! :)

[TheGothamGirls]

cutest face @0:27

[miriamnz]

Such a handsome wee fellow.  Loved the commentary ...'They're hooting!' What would he think of the vuvuzelas I wonder?

[bowhunter9677]

4:14 "sure you may look like me.... but can you do THIS?! oh shit u can... damn your good"

[bowhunter9677]

3:28 "mom can i look??"

[mohaghanyfarrjones]

Heyyyyy big fella!

[rebelrecording]

You let him watch tv???/Your corrupting him!!!!!!Next,itll be cyber porning!!!You evil person you!Kidding!beautiful little critter!!!!!

[GlenHelenGHOfeeder]

I love him! He is very sweet and curious, how long have you worked with owls?

[SingerxYuna]

What a sweet bird. He was lucky to have gotten to spend time with you.

[Noelleeeful]

This is adorable! I love this friendship!

[theproducerspart2]

he's watching soccer that is too funny XD lol

[mumalu8]

maybe the owl have short sighted by now

[popelauncher]

He looks soft. :3

[WolfNGecko]

I wish i had a pet owl like that my gecko doesnt do stuff like that shes mean

[gigglegirl788]

@WolfNGecko ya lizards rnt the best pets they r rly instinctual haha

[GrayFoxsDen]

im going to go look for one, there some flying around here ima see if i can find a nest and keep one.

[PamsaRN]

What a great video...I enjoyed it so much. I hope you continue to rescue owls and send them to the protected sanctuary! It would be so hard to say good bye. I have parrots and the behaviour is so similar....they rule the house and couldnt imagine home without them.

[redcorpse]

What a beautiful creature. He's so very lucky to have someone like you with him.

[LaRezNar]

3:00 "What is this contraption with moving pictures!??!?!"

[RealityGameWorld]

lol watching football

[immortalx50]

kitty!

[sharall]

that popping noise they make is quite odd, like a woodpecker having a bad day.

[listenfreak]

It looks like she genuinely loves that owl :) the sweetest thing i've seen all day.

[owlninja993]

your so lucky that you got to take care of an owl chick!! XD i love owls!! =)

[NunyaDammeBiznis]

it would look so much better if you would not put the message just over his face and keep it there.

[darknessofkrish]

You teach Owl to watch TELEVISION!?!?!1!? baaad.

[PantheraAtrox]

It's saying, "Feed Me!"

[MinaKittyFreedaZoe]

Do you have this owl because your rehabilitating it? He's a cutie :D

[afffred]

he's too close to the TV, it's bad for his eyes!

[geodavis]

why cant people just let wild animals be wild?

[MoRulez]

love it!

[ajsledzep]

I love owls they are soooooo cute

[UnionProduction]

Malencool, it matters what country you live in. If you live in North America you can't never own one as a pet, but you can own one (just not as a pet). The three possible choices of getting one are: You work at wildlife rehab and you have to take one home (which I won't do if you want to own one). Or you using one for Education (which I won't do if you want one). Or you become a Falconer which you have to get a license and hunt with them (if you want one, you can keep one forever as a falconer).

[Crazy4Horses5]

people should never keep a wild owl cause than you ruin any chance for them to be released back to the wild but overall I agree with you :)

[joannepsi]

he is beautiful :)

[RetardRage99]

owlfred

[emmmssss]

awe! :3

your owl is so cute! :D

it's great owners like you that make me want to raise an owl myself!

[moonbeam479]

ooooooooooooo i want one!!! XD

[lilbebegirlxx]

your such a good owl mommy!

[bobbyyoung3]

0:25

[Shramir]

i love owls they always look so pissed off haha so adorable =)

[Shramir]

4:07 WHAT!!

[Carthsting]

oh he acts like a catty

[britellis1]

I'm soooo in love with Alfred! How adorable!

[butabara1234]

Aww, such a sweet owl! He looks very comfortable with you too! A lot argue that some animals just shouldn't be kept as pets, but I think most animals can be domesticated to a certain degree if just treated with respect and consideration of their natural needs. At least Alfred seems happy where he is! :) Hope he gets to get out and fly some once in a while though?

[TNFlightNurse]

@butabara1234 Such a nice little hoot owl. I am so glad to see that people are treating these magnificent creatures with so much love that they have in fact become friendly with them.

[dantheman9758]

@butabara1234 That is complete BS - domestication of an animal takes thousands of years - most wild animals that are brought into captivity do not get the enrichment and freedom they need to psychologically and physically be considered "healthy", and the people taking care of them also need to make more sacrifices than they would with a true domesticated species like dogs or cats. It is a lose lose situation. Leave wild animals in the wild or in the hands of a trained professional please.

[tallyhoman911]

@butabara1234 just not monkeys! they rip your balls off O_O

[krolowaobcych]

śliczne oczy ma ta sówka :))

[krolowaobcych]

i loooooveeeeee owls...nice video...

[krolowaobcych]

kocham sowy :)) o,o o,o

[mcbstuntman]

lovely owl

[ryu8888]

NUM NUM NUM NUM NUM :>>

[SirianKings]

Even owls watch Arsenal.

[iv2sab]

SonikkuForever is right. Best place for an owl is in the wild (unless they can't be released because of some injury, etc.).

[TheAtroxious]

Aww! It's so fluffy. Adorable little owl you have there.

[hinessa]

2:09 hehe what a cute little old lady and her owl

[emkplayboy6]

This is awesome dude! man can you teachem tricks?

[Kassler39]

oh the pooor owl. its so afraid

[empirecarpetsux]

Hootie was an unreleasable horned owl that lived at the Trailside Zoo in NJ until September 1976, when the zoo closed and The Raptor Trust gave her a home. We think she was at least ten years old at that time. Since then, for 23 years, Hootie has been the foster mother for all the orphaned Great Horned Owl chicks that came to TRT. ( To read the whole story search google or any search engine. It is a sweet story! )

[dexterslila]

adorable owl! i hope he is well enough to go back to the wild. :)

[hunterallen48]

how can you get ana owl? i've been sesarching, but can only find the ones that grow abour 12" and are not as exotic asa a great horned owl

[DemyxFanOfOwls]

Y'know, great horneds are about the most un-exotic thing ever. They're definitely beautiful, but they live EVERYWHERE!

[SonikkuForever]

If you want an owl, think about this: Are you willing to put up with the all-night noise? Their sharp beak and talons? What about their frequent, smelly poop? They also throw up pellets of fur and bones wherever they happen to be. As for food, you'll need lots of frozen mice, which you have to cut open to remove the stomach, intestines, and liver. If you don't, you'll find yourself peeling decomposing internal organs off the floor and walls of your home. Sounds like a great pet, doesn't it?

[TheBlackRoseProd]

oh be quiet, just because it takes a lot of work to keep your pet happy and healthy doesn't mean it'd be a sucky pet!! i'd love to have an owl as a pet because they're cute, cuddly if you get them as a chick, and lovable! so don't go around blabbing off about how owls would make horrible pets!!

[mrpolo666]

@SonikkuForever ... you are totally wrong. If you teach the owl to eat in the same place you don't have to peeling the internal organs around your house... The thing about the poop you're right, but keep in mind that every creature leave a stink smell behind :)... I pet an owl and sometimes it is like a baby kid :)

[gigglegirl788]

@SonikkuForever shut up u lazy coward. thats wat u have to deal with with any other pet!

[TheUzarian]

@SonikkuForever good point but dont most falconers keep their owls in a mew?

[Killzoneguy117]

@SonikkuForever I agree. But you gotta admit. Owls are pretty damn cute. Especially the young chicks like the one in the video.

[roetemeteor]

@SonikkuForever

Believe it or not I've dealt with worse animals.

Still, not really willing to deal with something like that ever again.

[Bibushka66]

@SonikkuForever

I have a question.. Why are they throwing up pellets? Why don't they just poop it out? O.o

[RJW14]

@Bibushka66

Indigestibles, they regurgitate them. Probably because of the digestive tract not being able to cope with being blocked for a part.

[MatosandFrancisProd]

@SonikkuForever YES :D

[NeonGreenFairyJedi]

@SonikkuForever ....*looks down as you crush her hopes and dreams*... I bet Harry Potter never had to deal with that....

[li0nr0se]

Lady, you and your owl are adorable! :)

[boylegirle]

This made me so happy. I love how interested he is in the soccer game.

[0killermike0]

Thats huge bird, and its was just a chick at the time, i can imagine now...

For some reason at the beggining of the video, reminded me of Happy Feet.

[king5178]

it reminded me of that too

[Schylige]

0:57 whats that thing? can i eat it? plz :) it looks crunchy lol

[millardforever]

What a beautiful little owl!! I hope he's grown up to be strong and is living free. It's amazing how owls have such expressive eyes!

[Mazryonh]

They don't have lips like we do, but they do have their body language and six eyelids to help (2 to blink down, 2 to blink up, and 2 nictitating membrances).

[CrazyDaemonAngel]

soo cute :o)

[myranda2468]

OH how adorable!!! Where did him??  I would like to have an owl to raise and love jsut like you and alfred do!

[afffred]

i dont think he should watch TV from this close, its bad for his eyes!

[cannibalion]

adorable. an adult one kept eating my freinds baby ducks and one day he found it attacking them so he attaked back with a flimsy peice of wood siding. The owl attacked back and almost maimed him. they are huge, especially the females and they have four inch talons that are so strong they could rend you if they wanted to. The wild female owl was over three feet tall and a formidable predator. dont mess around with them even though they are shy predators they will mess you up if they feel a threat

[Nachtgheist]

Mops, only rivaled by beavers as enemies of owls.

[Glaukope]

This owlet is cute, no doubt.

But I think owls (injured and found) should to leave free as they are able to come along in their landscape.

It is not right to domesticate Raptors.

I love owls, especially the little owl Athene noctua; Their behaviour is so curious; but we are not to see these creatures with human eyes.

[LisaGayePhoebe]

I love the mop part, wow he was clacking his beak!! Saying NO NO. Too cute!

[ginnyvirginia]

wow they do remind you of a cat in certon ways

[Rallow]

Look like he's got a pretty good life.
