- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Owls are some of the most interesting animals on the planet. If Harry Potter is right, and I think it's basically a documentary, then owls should make pretty good pets. RIght? Let's take a look at owls to see if they are the best pet reptile (you heard me right, birds are reptiles) for you.

Haha as a zookeeper I saw this and instantly was concerned that the pet trade would be flooded with people trying to get them as pets having no idea what they are getting into. I was proven wrong yet again by an AWESOME well informed and honest review that these guys are some of the most amazing animals ever but horrific pets.
Charley Osgood Oh hey, as an actual professional! On the off chance you see this: would you say it is ever possible for a layman to own a parrot responsibly? How much prep and study would it take?
@@IntrusiveThot420 depends on what type of parrot, there are many. Love birds are parrots and they are easy enough. Macaws are parrots, and well, they are a lot more difficult! But with enough research, most parrots can make a good pet, depending on which one fits in with your personality. You have to have a lot of time to interact with them and make a bond. Be prepared to have stuff destroyed by them, and to fall in love with them ❤ the only thing is to really do a lot of research before even deciding what parrot. Then do more research into that parrot. Good luck tho x
@@IntrusiveThot420 just so you know, I do actually have a gold and blue macaw. He is beautiful but a lot of work, they are hard things to own but when you get their love and trust, they are amazing
@@kaycollarfeild I think that question was sarcastic. I hope.
Are there any animals besides goldfish or house cats or regular dogs that you would admit make good pets?

Okay so I’m an audio engineer and apparently owl ears are configured exactly like electret condenser microphones that are designed to capture 3d sound. You always have the mic’s on different , non-symmetrical vectors to capture the full area.
That is FASCINATING.
Very late to reply, but did you know that peregrine falcons, (if I'm remembering right) have a structure in their nostrils that breaks up airflow so they don't damage their lungs during flight, nor produce much drag?
This structure is apparently very similar to portions of the intakes in some jet engines and turbines.
@@blackwoodsecurity531finally, animal technology is catching up to us!
I went to an owl cafe in Japan and i was worried about the ethics of it, but this one place was recommended by a Japanese friend and i was pleasantly surprised. The birds are kept in a separate room (not just chained to perches in the seating area as i have seen in some videos), only a small group is allowed in at reserved times, and the handler introduces each bird and how/whether they like to be touched. You can hold a bird with a glove, with assistance, and we even got to feed a few of them. They explained basically all the same care requirements as laid out here, including that all of their animals get hours of outside time per day, and are only in the bird visiting room for a short while so they don't get stressed out. I was really impressed with the care and the health of the owls.
I've noticed that a lot of the videos I see of people with extremely exotic, high-maintenance pets (that appear to be well cared-for) seem to come from Japan. I'm not sure if it's a cultural thing (or maybe just an 'only film what you want people to see' thing), but it's definitely a pattern I've noticed. If I see a really unusual mammal running around a pristine home in a video, my first guess is always Japan. I would assume that availability of exotic animals is also much greater there.
@@corvinredacted I've mostly noticed this with Russians, every bear and big cat pet is either Russian or Arabian haha. I've seen a lot of otters with Japanese people but that's about it
@@corvinredactedI’ve actually noticed the opposite. Then again that’s in the aquarium hobby, idk about land animals
@@Xoxo_bambi Yeah, I'm referring to unusual, cute, small mammals or birds. Giant flying squirrels, otters, and owls- those sorts of things. And I understand it's entirely anecdotal. It could admittedly be me remembering the hits and forgetting the misses. It's just a certain type of cute animal clip that I often see and think, "Oh, I wonder if that's in Japan," and when I check the description, it is. Like I said, it could also just be a type of video that is especially popular there, or algorithms, or any number of other explanations. I don't intend to make any sweeping statements about Japan or the people who live there.
Came to check this video because I just came back from a pet cafe here in Japan, they had a pair of capivaras, a pair of flamingos, some ducks, some small annoying parrots, seven cats, two goats and about 7 owls too.
Ive interacted with owls before, but here they had a little Chaco owl that closed her eyes when you petted her head, man, im so sad they are so difficult to take care of

@KM Márquez fucking BEARS
my daughter is a falconer and we have two owls at home, it is her full time job. owls are not pets. they are wild animals. All of the birds my daughter works with fly free everyday. Very informative video.
Aww he let out a little "HOOT!" right after Clint introduced him! That was insanely adorable and just flawlessly timed! 😍 Owls are practically MADE of 'awesome' aren't they!
Clint: "endotherms are terrible"
Archimedes: shocked owl face
Also interesting that both owls and mice and rats can get bumble foot
He only has two faces: shocked and asleep.
This made me laugh. Also I had this image of Clint standing over like a puppy or kitten smiling and saying "Hahaha, you are very cute, but do you realize you have to be fed MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY?! You are just a terrible pet."
I've heard hamsters too can get bumblefoot. I think it happens when people don't equip their enclosures properly. For birds, it's when they don't have enough perches, and for rodents, it's typically only having access to barred flooring or having a wire mesh wheel instead of a solid one.
Solstice Lacer a lot of rodents can, like hamsters and gerbils too.
Chinchillas can get bumblefoot too. :(
Many years ago I was helping out at an animal rescue that had a number of birds of prey including a number of owls that due to injury could not be reintroduced into the wild.
One was a Eurasian Eagle Owl that was unable to fly but could run silently and could move at quite a pace, she would pop up close to you, which could be a surprise!
A good friend Pete was holding her, gloved, padded up and with a fencing mask (needed) and despite a very thick, double layer, falconers leather glove she clenched her talons putting one through the glove and right through his palm.
Saying that Pete didn’t hold a grudge and Maggie the owl lived a long life after this.
She was called Maggie after Margaret Thatcher due to her somewhat aggressive ways, but she was close to 3ft tall and magnificent.
What terrifying power!
What a wonderful experience to be able to interact with such amazing and majestic creatures!
We are in Scotland and we went to a Birds of Prey education display. It was incredible and the instructor was amazing! We made a sizeable donation and he asked our youngest daughter if she would like to handle a small owl.
She has autism and the gentlemen asked us to come back at the end.
Our daughter got gloved up and was able to handle several small owls and feed an Eagle Owl!
We got a hatchling corn snake for our family a few weeks later as a surprise we had been planning for a few months previously!
One happy little girl who now has big dreams to work with all sorts of reptiles, scaled and feathers!
Owls have the strongest grip of all the raptors... 500 psi.
Because barn owls sometimes roost in barns (hence the name), I sometimes think about an alternate history where they were domesticated in a way similar to cats: first as pest control, then selected for tameness and brought into the home.
improbable

Thank you! Now I have some terms to remember 😅
Yeah, I love owls and birds in general, but I'm aware of how difficult they are to care for. I just put up an owl box and whenever one moves in I'll call it a "pet".
Good of idea. If you have one acshully as a pet and have not goned through the arduous and years long falconers training you will face a $15,000.00 fine for violations of the migratory bird act and treaty betweened Canada and the US.
I go to the pet shop .
Me: do you have any reptiles ?
Them: yes here is an owl
きらん human and all mammalian would be considered reptilian by those standards as well. Birds are not reptiles
@@oyoo3323 By this logic homosapiens are apes. Clearly some more so than others!
@@oyoo3323 no one was asking you for a cladistics lesson anyway. If someone asked me what an owl was I would just say a bird. If someone asked me what you are I would say an ape.
@@oyoo3323 Correct animal husbandry is based on experience, empathy and understanding of the animal you are caring for. You do not need to know it's DNA or pedigree back to the time of the evolution of dinosaurs. You cannot learn everything from a book or the internet hands on experience is vital.
For those who clearly don't understand my original comment was just saying that if you went into a shop and asked for a reptile they would not show you an owl. But since you take everything literally you wouldn't understand that. And yes there are over 30,000 different species of bird one of which is an owl. Therefore owls are birds and I am not lying. And when I said that humans are apes I meant you in particular!
Archimedes seemed to really be interested in learning about owls.
"You are amazing and I really wanna pet you... This is a terrible temptation"
I died 😂
5 years ago I nursed a Screech Owl back to health after I watched it bounce off a car winshield. It was an amazing experience. Even from the wild, it was calm, curious, intelligent and friendly. Right from the start, it was very social and enjoyed being around our family.
Once it was healthy, after a couple weeks, I released it into our wooded property and it still lives behind our house after 5 years. It even visits on our back deck from time to time. When I work outside in the back of the house, I like doing it at night and I play music, consisting of the good stuff. From Led Zep to the Cure, Motorhead, Skynyrd, ACDC. And while this scares everything else away, usually the owl will know Im out there and it will show up to just watch and hang out. It will walk around on the rail and watch me for an hour at a time. It's a female and last year, for the first time it had owlets. Once they became fledgling, at night they would flit around in the trees in our yard, chasing the mother for food, making the strangest sounds. It was awesome.
In the end, I can say that having a "Friend" Owl, living in the wild, right outside our back door, interacting with us, without having to keep it enclosed in the home and treating it as a pet, is an extremely cool situation.
Just a blast!!
That sounds like the best way to have a pet owl!
Surprised at how calm this owl was. Shot a music video a few years back that featured an owl. One of the things I learned was how short their attention spans were. Maybe it was just that particular species, but the owl we were working with was basically changing its focus every 2-3 seconds. The handler said this was because it was hearing tons of different sounds and trying to find prey. He had a little clicker to keep him focused wherever we needed him. It this tiny little thing that make a click sound much like a small rodent.
Another fun fact to note is that sometimes you notice he looks a little cooky eyed with one pupil smaller or larger than the other, and that also plays into why they don't always blink both eyes at the same time, and that's because their eyes operate independently from one another! This is a really prevalent trait in birds and reptiles, another string that ties the two cousins together ❤
while we are talking endotherms, we might as well do the most common pet reptiles in my home area:
chickens
ducks
geese
pigeons
Agreed!
I had pet ducks and they were awesome but so much work!
@@ellenmorris6451 i guess that depends on how many you own and how much property you keep them on. we used to have ducks and they weren't a lot of work at all, all you need is to change the water in their tub (if you don't have a pond) every so often, feed them, let them out in the morning and lock them up n the evening.
Would horkers count as reptiles
Pigeons would be a cool video.
He blinks as though he’s tired of listening to someone’s BS.
Love the way you can tell he's super passionate about animals in his voice. Each episode is like a kid explaining his new xmas present to his friends.
Sometimes when I'm feeling sad, I come back to this video to hear Archimedes' soft hoot.
"If softness were loudness then owls would be the loudest-wait what?"-zefrank
As the owner (servant) of two small parrots, I can tell you that this video is right on. My birds are more work than my kids at times. I do nothing alone. If I try, I get screamed at the entire time. I turned on the shower yesterday, and by the time I stepped inside, my bird was already in there taking hers. I had to shower around her. My mother has to stay at my house any time I leave town. Birds are no joke!
He speaks so softly with Archemideas in his hand, thats really careful and thoughtful. No reason to stress the little buddy.
For some reason watching that little owl blink so much just made me think of a toddler fighting sleep. Just so stinking cute.
I learned a lot from this video! As an example, I didn’t know that owls had asymmetrical ears. That’s awesome. It was also fun to see myself ( and some of my reptiles) in this video! Keep up the excellent work, Clint!
Thank you for the incredible message and for supporting our channel! Your video was incredible!
Loved the shot at the end! Great vid!
You can also see their eyes through their ears. Birds cut a lot of anatomical corners.
check out Ze Frank's "True Facts About The Owl" is enlightening and hilarious
As a GHO falconer, I am amazed at how much knowledge you have of owls. It is all right on. Although, I don't consider myself a wizard. Must have more birds of prey/flying reptiles.
I love how the owl reacted to your head bobbing like "Whoa, you do that too?!??"
That bird 🦅 blinking is the CUTEST a thing ever. The eyelashes on that owl are breathtaking!!
Should do vultures next. They need more credit for what they are.
Theyre a protective species (atleast in the us), its illegal to own one
@@nickstav08 there's both new world and old world vultures though why would both be protected if aren't native? Though I'm not sure if there's any old world vultures being kept in North America.
agreed. vultures are very amazing creatures and misunderstood a lot.
@K Dash Well of course never said they weren't, a bird like that should probably only be kept by professionals.
Garbage birds. Which is cool. But they’re AWFUL pets. Worse than nearly any other bird of prey, because most are very food aggressive, most have moderately sharp talons, and most have very sharp and strong beaks and they bite!
"Owl of them" I hate how much I laughed at that
Clint: Birds are dinosaurs.
As my rainbow velociraptor rolls over on the bed to get tummy tickles.
One thing I learned that I didn't hear in the video was that you aren't supposed to pet them or touch them much at all. Their feathers can get worn very quickly and they won't be able to fly as easily. Thanks Clint you rock dude!
We're going to do it! It's so crazy, but with your encouragement and promised support, we're going to do it! Clint's Reptile Room is going to happen! We still need your help! Please check out this link for more information:

Update: he did. Look at the channel. It's hilarious.
Overall rating of 0
Something else Clint forgot to mention, is that most birds give you very little if any sign that something is seriously wrong with them. Imagine spending years of your life learning and interning to become a licensed falconer, then spending thousands of dollars (or tens of thousands) to set up and stock a proper enclosure. Your bird can still drop dead with zero warning, EVEN IF YOU DO EVERYTHING RIGHT.
Funny when Clint talks about the owls eyes and he does the head bobbing to demonstrate what the owl does, and the owl on his hand is, well, observing him. Cute.

Rule of thumb for birds.
They're not for most people.
Especially if you want that thumb to remain attached to the hand
Birbs
more like falcons in general, all of wich will not like you no matter what. At best its a working relationship as 100% of them are in fact wild animals. Domesticated birds on the other hand do make good pets. parrots like macaws can be very loving and really bond with the owner.
Very much the pet I want a friend to have.
@@MrHanky35 Even with parrots though, I'd give a serious conversation to anyone thinking of getting one. I have an African Grey myself, and they're _a ton_ of work!
After the Harry Potter craze (I love HP fyi) a lot of pet owls were being abandoned and mistreated. I rescued three barn owls ( Desdemona, Hawthorne and artillery-art for short) they were an absolute mess with a ton of issues but all are doing wonderfully and live where I work (wildlife rehab center) I wish people would realize how much time, space and money it takes to have an owl. Please don't get one unless you can provide an appropriate enclosure, food and enrichment.
This is part of why he makes these videos, I think. He wants to educate people about them if people want to have them as pets.
Birds being closely related to reptiles make so much sense. I grew up around parrots, ducks, chickens, snakes and lizards all my life, and all you have to do to notice the similarities in birds to reptiles is to take a look at their eyes, and their scaly feet or legs. Birds. Fluffy, cute dinos the lot of them.
Owls have always been my favorite animals since I was a kid. I used to work at a raptor and reptile conservation center in NC and the owl exhibit is where I wanted to spend all day. I love them and they are so interesting and intelligent.
"It sucks!" *big grin*
This is why I love you XD I can't imagine all the hastle that goes into finding these animals to display, thanks so much for the video!
Owls are more of a companion that you're responsible for than a "Pet".
pvtpain66k agree! Still incredibly awesome
That's how I would describe all "pets" though
I'm not that interested in exotic pets but your personality is just so inviting and conducive to learning that I can't help watching your videos
I’ve grown up with parrots. My first were budgies, I now have my cockatiel harpo, he’s my buddy. But the most astonishing thing to me, to reinforce your statement; birds are incredibly light. I recommend everyone try handling a bird some time.
I love how Archimedes is batting those lashes at the camera. 😍
He do blink like he's 110% done with everything tho lol
Owls always look fake to me, especially those eye lids. It's a puppet, exposed xd
They are all puppets. It's a conspiracy!
Hahaha
@Modustollens1 agreed
I was coming to say this... that owl looks like a muppet!
my brother doesn't believe in owls
I remember going to my friend's farm when it was cold so I was wearing my favorite duster coat. So when I went into the barn to see her owls she was raising 2 of them decided that my shoulders were perfect perches. When she came in she ended up laughing so hard that she fell down crying and got swarmed by the rest of the little ones.
I love how the owl watches him when he’s doing his owl impersonation.
I am a falconer, and honestly, it's more work than you made it out to be even. Also, if you're doing it ethically you're not getting a bird as a pet. Birds of prey aren't your friend - they return to you because you feed them and give them a dry place out of the wind to sleep.
Well, that kinda makes them your friend. Just not your pet lol.
I hope someday you will do a Crow, Best Pet Reptile video someday. This is an amazing video, Archimedes a Greek Philosopher a wise man, so adorable as a owl.
I've always thought Owl's were cool. I remember one day I was outside and I heard an owl in the woods behind my house. When it "hooted" I "hooted" back (pathetically I might add). It hooted back at me again, I guess. Who knows but it was cool.
I remember once I was trying to figure out the mechanics of how owls could turn their necks so far because, with all their feathers it looks like they're rigged up more or less like humans and then I googled owl skeletons and it was like, oh they're like flamingos under there.
Aren't humans so weird, how we see an animal and go I WANT ONE.
It’s just in our nature.
we just want to baby everything pretty much
I wonder where that evolutionary trait came from. very Interesting.
@@tomsaww7516 We're an extremely adoptive social species (a child/person doesn't have to be related to become a member of our tribe/family) who learned early on to extend that adoptive social nature to include other species in a symbiotic relationship (dogs, cats, horses, even crops, ect). Hence, now we will socialise with and adopt pretty much anything. It's literally instinct by this point for us to be the nannies of nature, if not always then sometimes.
@@shadowjewel Very informative, thank you mate.
I cant stop watching these videos. Your enthusiasm is so freakin' contagious
You can clearly tell how passionate this man is about the animal world;learn something new every time I watch your videos :DD
Some owls taking hearing a step further. Some have facial disks, with is a concave section of feathers around the face. This helps to collect sound and direct it towards the ears, giving the owl extremely accurate hearing. Barn owls are one such species with this adaptation.
Edit: also, I got this off of a nature documentary on national geographic several years ago. And they had a visual demonstration with a grid, showing us hearing along the y axis (we cam tell the direction but not the origin), and owls with the facial disk hearing along both the y and x axis, being able to locate the point of origin.
What a cute little hoot! Owls are my favorite flying reptile. I actually collect owl figurines.🦉
Those eyes are so vivid!
Aren't they striking??
@Clint's Reptiles I really love and appreciate how honest and upfront you are about the bad points, as well as the good, when it comes to keeping all the different animals you feature, as pets. Thanks for all the hard work that very clearly goes into making these amazing videos.
Oh the tiny owl sounds! thank you Clint made my smile after a very rough day.
"Sub-awesome"
I'm using that
I love owls their eyes look almost cartoonish and that’s why I like them.
Agreed!
I love owls! I get so excited when I get to see one in the wild. Which is EXACTLY where they belong. Humans are always trying to domesticate animals and some just don’t belong in this category.
I love how excited you get about talking about all of the creatures you showcase on the channel. As a fellow aspiring zoologist, I share your excitement and I get the same way when I share my knowledge with other people. Keep up the amazing work! :)
When will there be a 'chicken, the best pet reptile?' video? Because I think they are amazing pets! Followed by ducks and quails of course.
Love your video's!
My guess for best pet birds:

as an avid birder and animal lover in general.... and having just discovered this amazing channel last week... this is such a great video to be my first new upload to see from you. thanks for these amazing, informative, and entertaining videos
Just discovered this channel (been thinking about bringing a second snake into the family)... I love Clint's goofy and quirky demeanor, and you can tell he absolutely adores all reptiles. So wholesome! Reminds me of Uncle Monty from Series of Unfortunate Events.
I've been bingewatching your content for the past 2 days and this is my favourite video so far. You're always great at communicating your passion for these stinkin' rad beasts, and it makes me just that much more excited to learn some whacky fact like Owls having *asymmetrical ears*. How come I didn't know that earlier? It's so friggen cool you'd think someone would've already told me by now!
I’m so excited for your reptile room, it’s gonna be so rad
We are as well! You guys are making it possible.
5:13 The way he was wathing you was hilarious.
I so appreciate that he almost always has a live example of what he's talking about. Great educational content.
21:21 "hoo" omg my heart 😭😭❤
These videos make my heart happy. How do you not have more than a million followers?!
The poop is an issue people seriously underestimate about larger birds. We had a macaw, and he'd pop out a small PILE per day. I mean, he pooped probably half the volume I do in a day even being many times lighter than me. It needs to be cleaned every single day.
Granted, he went on to become a very good boy about pooping. He almost never pooped on you, and would start doing a little dance to let you know. If you were home, you could go put him on his perch and he'd do his business and want back up. If you were out in public, you could hold a napkin under him or hold him out on your arm over some grass.
Even in the car, he'd do his little dance and we'd pull over and hold him out the door. Very good boy. But yeah, every 10-15 minutes. Practically on the dot.
You are a sweet, educational and truly excited human(when it comes to animals). I enjoy your videos!
I like that you are still just as passionate about educating people about how taxonomy works clint. It's a real service to humanity you are doing with this. It also makes for excellent jokes, but that is just the cherry on top. Thank you for doing what you do.

Gosh those eyes I'm in love. Owls are absolutely rad.
I'll probably cry if you do a video on ravens, pleaseee make one!
bruh i saw the title and i was so confused but not surprisingly clint has once again peaked my interest. thanks so much for everything you do. keep up the great work.
Clint I’ve only been watching your channel for a few days, what caught me at first was how interested you are in educating on the subject of history of life. What I think is gonna keep me around(likely forever) is the childlike wonder in your voice and on your face while you teach us about these wondrous creatures.
I love how excited Clint got over Archimedes. When he flew away Clint was so calm about it. I would have been so worried about hurting him.
