As far as birds go, cute owls are some of the most beautiful creatures on this earth. An owl is a symbol of intelligence and one of the most effective nocturnal hunters. A cute owl picture tries to capture the more beautiful and peaceful side of it — the one we grew up liking and admiring. Some of the cutest owl pictures try to focus on a single element of this majestic, flying bird.

While every baby owl, no matter the species, is already cute enough to melt any heart, it doesn’t stop there. There are hundreds of owl species to choose from, and every one of them seems to be uniquely beautiful. You can find a cute barn owl in almost every corner of the world. To see one, you need to be patient and keep an eye on flying objects. If you ever see one, capture it with your camera.

Cute owl pictures are like currency on the internet. It’s better to have a collection of these pictures than none at all. To help you with that, we have compiled a list of the best owl pictures on the world wide web for you to see. Found your eyes stuck on one of them? Be sure to upvote it. On the other hand, if you have an owl story to share, do so in the comments below.

Admirable, but you should check your locale for wildlife sanctuaries who are better equipped to handle the owl's needs.
