 So CUTE! Sep 16, 2007
By denid2003
"denid2003"
I got this for my mom for Christmas last year. All my friends were trading stuffed owls. (We were doing a Harry Potter theme thing.) And my mom said she wanted an owl too. So I searched for just the right one for her, and I found this one. Its so cute! The picture really doesn't even do it justice. Its soft and the eyes are so intense its hard to believe its a stuffed animal sometimes. I swear there's some sort of intelligence behind those eyes. lol I got my friend the "Snowy Owl" from this same company, and it too is beautiful. I would recommend it. Just note, in my personal opinion its really not a toy. It should be looked at not played with.

 Cute owl Jan 05, 2011
By R C
My 2-year-old is obsessed with owls after a zoo trip so I bought this for him for Christmas. The construction quality is a little disappointing, the eyes are not perfect, and you have to style the ears to make it look like the picture. The feet are very firm, so it's not the best for cuddling, but stands up great! My son loves it despite the cons.

My inner-child has connected with this owl, but I shall still give him to my two-year-old! Dec 06, 2011
By lollipopsandlattes
Confession: this is meant to be a toy for my nearly two-year-old, and YES, I will give it to her :), but I have not yet had the heart to wrap it. I'm not generally a stuffed animal kind of person, though I do feel that they are important for kids to have, for with them, your children can imagine all kinds of things and get a little comfort, too (especially if they really connect with the toy). My inner-child has connected with this owl. I will update this review once I see how my little one responds to it, and the reaction it elicits from my seven-year-old.
But for now...
Here's what I have noticed about this beautiful owl. He has those large, bright, penetrating, wise-looking eyes, and they feel tightly secured (I have tugged at them, as I am anticipating that the eyes will get a lot of attention from the little one). His beak is pointed, petite, and spotted with flecks of black. It looks sharp (though it's really not) and is made from a firmer kind of material. His wings have extremely limited flexibility (they cannot be raised to pretend that he's flying). His feet are made from the same material of the beak, which enables him to stand--yes, you can knock him over--but a slight tap won't do it.... stable little guy.
What I love: the exquisitely soft feel of his belly: very soothing to the touch. But, that said, he's not one of those stuffed animals whose bodies conform to the needs of your arms. I guess you could say that he's not really a cuddle creature, but one who is meant to be stroked. Still, he is compact, which will make it easier for my little one to tote around.
Concerns: The hair (meant to be feathers) around his tiny but well-defined ears is wispy, and MAY be pulled out easily by a child as young as mine. Also, since he is meant to be spot-cleaned and not placed in the washing machine, I will have issues if she drools on him. Still fell in love with him, though, and thought that this might be a subtle introduction to learning that there are, for instance, different kinds of "birds" out there.
I actually think that my seven-year-old is going to be drawn to him, and I believe he would be more appropriate for that age group (assuming your child likes owls), especially if your kids are fans of the Guardians of Ga'hoole Boxed Set, Books 1-4, or are Harry Potter fans who do not feel that they MUST have Hedgwig.
Again, I will update, but my final words are: he is a gorgeous creature, and I am enchanted by him!

Serious Sep 21, 2011

This one is interesting.... it's really grown on me....I don't know much about owls other than i LOVE THEM.
So I can't speak to the authenticity or accuracy of this but it looks well thought-out...looks serious.
This one is not a flopsie if that's what you're coming here for... it's more... rigid. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's nice and soft, but it's more solid. I could see a kid playing with this (or a cat) but right now I just have it on my desk guarding my bed while I sleep.
If you like owls, this is really a lovely non-creature and would make for a good owly guardian for any room ;)

AWWW Oct 28, 2011
By Cassie :D
I got this in the mail only a few days after ordering it. VERY FAST SHIPPING. This product is very life like and very soft. The feet are a tad bit hard but is not really notcible. It can stand on its own like seen in the picture. This product does need a little work as far as re arranging the fur to get it to look like the picture. All in all, great product would reccomend to anyone who reads this review.
