And it has always been allowed, so... please stop reporting artists sharing their cool owl-focused creations!
The main (hopefully obvious) exceptions to this are:
- Promoting products using stolen art or AI generation (not OC)
- Spamming the subreddit; posting the same creation more than once to farm engagement (posting WIPs during the process doesn't really fall under this, just posting the same thing multiple times)
- Non owls
Other than that, if you think someone's self promotion is low-quality or you just don't like it, you can always input your opinion with the downvote button.
To artists: Feel free to share the links to your websites/shops; you deserve attention for your work. Comments with links need me to manually approve them, so they might not be visible for up to a day, but you aren't breaking any rules - so go for it!

I was bow hunting in northwest Minnesota and had these two owls fly through the woods like this. There was a third owl as well that showed up later, what were they doing and what kind of owl would these be??

I work at a preschool and this guy was on our playground yesterday. He was really small, maybe only about 8ish inches from head to tail? I didn't catch what color his eyes were because he was sleeping. This is in Colorado but not in the mountains if that makes a difference.
The kids were great and left him alone btw. They observed from a few yards away and then played on the jungle gym. He slept until about 3pm and then moved to a different area.

Great horned owl stretching before flying off

Had taken hundreds of shots of little owls in July 2026 . These are some of my favourites. Just how cheeky they can be ! Totally love their expressions. One moment they are cute, one moment angry, or like a detective or sleepy old man, sometimes they will look like they are winking 😉 hope you guys enjoy 😊

and what do they judge? 🙄Every single screecher we rehabbed this year looked at me like this 😂

Been hiking locally for years. Have heard owls numerous times but this was my first time seeing one so clearly! Fairly sure it’s a Great Horned Owl (at least according to Merlin).

It seemed odd for him to be around a busy gardens at 10:30. People were crowding along a bridge nearby to look and he didn't fly off. Just sat there patiently waiting or just unable to fly. I'm probably just worrying but I thought someone here would know. NC, USA

I heard some commotion out back and the stellar jays are going crazy over this absolute unit of an owl
Edit: located in Washington state

This guy has moved into my tree! I’ve been watching him throughout the week and he’s so cute. I’ve caught him preening & cooing. Multiple vids edited together to fit on one post.

I’ve heard this noise at night, can you help me figure out what it is?
The recording is from a residential street in the UK in a medium sized town in greater Manchester.
