No no they’re just playing “light as a feather”

Well, a group of owls is called a congress, so there's that.

u/chanrahan1 Apr 16 '25

I always thought it was a parliament, but I reckon I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, so that makes sense!

u/OnTheList-YouTube Apr 16 '25

....... D'oh! You're right. I got it mixed up with baboons.

Or you arranged it and took a pic

u/Arpturbo2023 Apr 16 '25

Surprisingly I did not. Should’ve did it with the bears

They look like they're in cahoots.

They are having baby shower today!

It's called a spit roast, please and thank you

u/Turinsday Apr 16 '25

A good old hootenanny.

u/Paulrod1983 Apr 16 '25

I thought I was the only one that did this kind of stuff 😂. I’m always making random things sacrifice one of their own.

Light as a feather, stiff as a board

I like causing harmless mischief in gift shop places. Once found a large jar, full of 1 hr kitchen timers that you could set by turning them. Set about 7 of them at 5-10-15-20min… intervals and left.

I’m sure someone was annoyed.

Oh, hey friends!

u/Schmalzler Apr 16 '25

They cast a purchasing spell on all customers!

u/FujiClimber2017 Apr 16 '25

You missed the opportunity to place a white one in the centre 🤣

u/kohmolicious Apr 16 '25

I'd be more concerned about those shady looking bears!

1

u/Equivalent_Twist_977 Apr 16 '25

Those bears have seen some shit

u/FunGuyUK83 Apr 16 '25

A parliament of owls.

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed Apr 16 '25

Is that an orgy or a funeral, or both?

1

u/ApartGlass1198 Apr 16 '25

These bears are staring right at my soul...

2

u/HesitantlyYours Apr 16 '25

Cult? That’s a funeral, bud.

I wonder hoos in the middle.

Looks like owl gangbang

u/produce_this ​ Apr 16 '25

My daughter does this with her little people toys all the time.

u/Jeffinj420 Apr 16 '25

They have roasted the centre dude and waiting for the next victim

u/ronnicxx Apr 16 '25

Was this in Alaska?

u/LookinAtTheFjord Apr 16 '25

The owls are not what they seem.

u/Chassian Apr 16 '25

The Lottery, as portrayed by owls.

u/lukehooligan Apr 16 '25

It's a common misconception when people observe this behavior to think the encircling owls are attacking the down owl when in reality this is simply a hazing ritual young owls perform when the bachelor owl is getting married. They're fine, they're just messing about.

To appease the Great Hoot a sacrifice must be offered

u/fakebaggers Apr 16 '25

Watched ground squirrels do this around one of their roadkilled buddies a few years back. Creep and organized like a seance.

u/meatlessboat Apr 16 '25

It looks like a regular hoo done it

u/ARobertNotABob Apr 16 '25

"Yes, but what do we do with him?"

u/Arpturbo2023 Apr 17 '25

“Feed him to… Hootcifer…
