Owl!!!!!!!! <3
Hiiiiii! :3
What do you all think of SoD's new owl?
I love my dear, precious baby so much! X3
Being the owl fanatic that I am, I'm really interested to know what species this could be. I think it definitely belongs to the Strix genus (one of my favorites, aaaaahhh!!!!) and, when I first saw it, my instinct screamed at me, "Tawny owl!!!" but........ it could also be a Maghreb owl, Barred owl, Fulvous owl or a few others.
The biggest drawback for each of these species is that they all have black eyes! The SoD owl has orange eyes.... and (correct me if I'm wrong) there aren't any Strix-babies that have bright eyes, besides the Desert owl and the Omani owl, but neither of those really look enough like SoD's owl.
Tbh, SoD probably tried to make a generic owl that ended up accidentally looking very Strix-like, but with bright eyes. Even so, I think it's kinda fun trying to find a species anyway. XD
Does anyone have any ideas/opinions?
Also, if you're obsessed with owls like I am, what's your favorite owl??
I think my favorite might be the Marsh owl (Asio capensis)!! <3
Thanks a billion for reading!! Bye!
I don't know enough about owls to try to guess which one it is. XD I think they're so cute! I love that screenshot you took! It's so awesome that you positioned your viking so it looks as if the owl is looking at your viking and you were able to get a screenshot of it! That is just so cute. :D
Agreed, owl good! My favorite owl is surprisingly the great gray owl with the second player being the snowy owls. Yes sod may have gone with a generic owl look, yet that is usually the grwat horned owl though. Stillz excited and happy to even have owls in the game XD
I love them! And the animations are so cute! <3 I wonder what the normal (non event) produce is going to be since I don't see any new fethers in the store :o
I was thinking maybe eggs, I would like to have a new source of eggs in the game.
Hey there!
I'm glad you're all enjoying the new owl! You can thank everyone from this thread for suggesting it during the last event; I loved the idea as soon as I saw it, and just had to reach out to the artists and make it happen. :)
Well thank you kindly! Its such a treat to get them and they are adorable <3
That's amazing, I've wanted an owl since Snoggletog and it's finally here. Thank you
Pretty sure the text somewhere in game named it a Brown Owl, which Is an alternate name for the Tawny Owl - a native of Europe and some parts of Scandinavia (according to quick Wikipedia search anyway)! So it's a species that RL Vikings would have encountered!
Sorry, don't have a screen shot, but if I come across it I'll screen shot it.
OWL. Yes, the owl is great! Two of my favorites are Western screech owl (I've seen lots of them in my backyard in summertime) and Burrowing owl (small body on long legs!). Plus, Burrowing owls sometimes look like little grumpy dudes :D
is it just me or do the owls make chicken noises?
