20 Owl Memes That Are a Real Hoot for Tired Night Owls

Spooktober is almost here, and that means it's time for us to honor some of our more mysterious, mystical, and slightly spooky feathered friends: owls.

We're always down for a good seasonal scare, and as fellow night owls ourselves, we can't help but feel a little kinship with these feathery fellas. Their giant eyes? Hypnotic. Their stares? Unblinking. Their whole vibe? Like they know something we don't - and honestly, they probably do. After all, owls have been symbols of wisdom for centuries. Still, we'd be wise not to get too close, because in the dark they can look just a little bit eerie.

But here's the thing: owls aren't just spooky - they're also absolutely owl-dorable. Did you know that baby owls sometimes sleep flat on their tummies? Full-on plank mode. We didn't either, and it might just be the cutest fact we've ever learned. Suddenly, the "creepy" turns into "aww" real fast.

So whether you're a Hedwig superfan, a Halloween enthusiast, or just a tired night owl looking for a good laugh, we've got you covered. We're kicking off Spooktober early with these 20 owl memes that prove these wise, wide-eyed birds are a real hoot.

We love seeing cross-species friendships between animals, this is absolutely adorable. And besides, when have you ever seen a friendship blossom between an owl and a cat? It's really a rare sight, so it's not only cute, it's really awesome.
