makes me want to have a pet owl

I asked about this once, apparently it's a terrible idea. Keeping an owl is illegal in most states without proper permits and facilities. Owls are also rather high-maintenance and while they can learn to trust one person who cares for them they will never be anything close to "tame." Bummer.

I say something similar : Owls, cats of bird kingdom...

Then, does it mean cats are owls of mammals?

Source video (no sound).

A cute little owl, pouncing on the shadow cast by a door.

EDIT: Another video, same owl doing a cute little owl dance.

[–]Xanthan81 4 points5 points ago

Because they've got the music in them?

They don't let go.

Owls do this to appear more threatening. The swinging of the head, hissing, and clacking of their beaks are designed to make them seem larger and more menacing. Owls also rely heavily on their hearing which is facilitated by a disc of feathers on their faces. By constantly adjusting this disc, the owl is keeping all of its focus, both sight and hearing, on whatever it is being threatened by. In this case, someone with a camera.

is it weird that I've been laughing at this one gif for over 5 minutes now???

I've also been saying "da fuqqqqq" in a high pitch tone a bit too much!!!

I really liked the owl, but I didn't like the captions. My only regret is that I have but one neutral to give.

They stick their heads back as they can't see what it is.

Owls have a fixed focal range (like a zoom lens on a camera) and can't focus on anything very close - they can't even see their feet. They stretch their heads back to focus on close objects.

Man I love owls! When I watched Harry Potter, I almost yelled in the theater when everyone was sad about stupid Moody, and no one gave a shit about poor Hedwig :'(

At least he went out like a boss, unlike in the book. That's actually one thing the movies did better, in my opinion.
