Owl Always Love You

You probably heard the catch phrase "Owl always love you", especially around Valentine's Day, but did you know that this phrase is close to the truth when it comes to owls?.  Some owl species do mate for life.  The most well known are: Barn Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, Great Horned Owl, Barred Owl, and Spotted Owl. 

You can say these monogamy owl species really do have families, being that they are affectionate and look out for each other, as well as, share in the daily tasks, such as babysitting and feeding their young.  

Some, like the Barn Owl, are so emotionally attached to their mate that when the mate dies, they themselves soon die of a broken heart. They literally mope and stop eating. 

On the other hand, other owl species, like the Snowy Owl, have an roving eye and  have different mates each season. The male Snowy Owl may even mate with two females simultaneously, with the nests close by to each other.  Now how do you like that! 

As for the Tawny Owl... This owl is mostly monogamous, but some males prefer two.  Ummm, sounds familiar, uh? 

Well, with Valentine's Day coming up, lets just think about the faithful ones and check out these unique and awesome owl valentine gifts. You just might find the perfect one for that special someone.
