If you live in an area full of wildlife, chances are you\u2019ve encountered a friendly animal or two in your yard. We\u2019re in north Georgia and have seen deer and rabbits with their babies, raccoons, squirrels, and even a beautiful barred owl like the one in this video, who’ve allowed us to get close, but never this close!<\/p>\n
A woman named Victoria, who lives in Louisiana, built an owl box in her yard and eventually had both a male and female owl move in. Over time, they\u2019ve raised owlets that have come and gone, and along the way, Victoria has formed a sort of friendship with the mother owl<\/a>. Make sure your sound is on, because the owl lets Victoria know she\u2019s there and patiently waits for her to bring a few treats.<\/p>\n Is it weird we’re jealous of the relationship between Victoria<\/a> and the owl<\/a>? In the caption, Victoria said, “She had a lot to say!” It makes us want to build an owl box for our own yard ASAP so we can have conversations with an owl!<\/p>\n Related: Wildlife Photographer Shares Adorable Video of the \u2018Cutest Owl of Them All’<\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n Cute Comments About Victoria and the Owl<\/p>\n Viewers left hundreds of comments about Victoria’s friendship with the owl<\/a>, and some of them made us laugh.
