Ive had this Snowy Owl for years, no idea who made him....

He is marvellous Steve! Is it made from resin?

Thanks...is it Harriet?...

Yes, it's Harriet

Beautiful owls everyone What a nice topic, owls are so beautiful I will try to take photos of my small owls collection tomorrow :)

Bullyland is definitively the owls lover:
Seeing some old Bully catalogues in the forum we can see the tawny owl already in 1992, the eagle owl in 1995 and it looks the first snowy owl is a 1996 release. There was another snowy owl later and recently the Great grey owl!
Schleich is replying very late to Bullyland, in 1999 a tawny owl, in 2002 an eagle-owl and in 2012 a snowy owl!
CollectA has a single owl since its first year, the 2006 Barn owl;
Safari is an old brand, I don't know if those are all their owls but from my knowledge the first is the great horned owl in 2006, the snowy owl in 2008 and in 2012, a barn owl!
Papo and Mojo Fun hasn't released any owl until now!
It's nice to see from your collections more owls from other brands!
As I collect species here goes my little selection:

Safari great horned owl; CollectA barn owl, Schleich eagle owl and tawny owl, another CollectA barn owl and the Bullyland great grey owl.

It is missing a snowy owl, almost surely the new Schleich will join my little collection. :)

Thank you Vivien and Roger

At first, our Ark's only Owls were the three funny little ones at the front of this picture. (They were made as cake decorations.) Then we got a pair of Bullyland Eagle Owls and a pair of Bullyland Snowy Owls.

The big, mean Owl at the back is old Elastolin composition ...

.... here she is again (on the left), with the cruder Durolin version.

We have a small composition Forester (maker unknown). Once, he must have been firing a rifle, but one arm, both hands and the rifle were broken off and missing when we bought him. Lesley rebuilt him. Now, he is releasing a K & M Tawny Owl back into the wild.

And that's all our Owls!

Beautyful owls, - you did it again, Sue & Lesley

I love the way you helped the old forester back to a great job of letting owls go back to freedom

:) :)

Sue & Lesley.....again show us your treasures.

Wow, are marvellous.

Beautiful collection Sue and Lesley! Very unique items Thank You for showing

Magda, what a scary story
Harriet You are lucky to hear owls more often, their voices are beautiful
I had heard different owls few times in my life but once I had also occasion to see wonderful Eagle Owl from very close. That was in Polish region Mazury, popular for vacation in Poland. I went for a walk to the forest at 5am because I couldn't sleep. And then something big moved next to me It was huge owl no more than 3 meters from me! She flew away and I was so happy to see her, what a magnificent, shy flying and huge bird!

" .... I want to go back to the Lake District ...."

Nice to know that you enjoyed your visit to our part of the country, Steve, but you might not like it so much at the moment - gale-force winds, hail-storms covering the fields in white, torrential rain and trees falling like nine-pins!! And C-O-L-D!!

The Owls are being sensible, and keeping under cover.

Very nice owl Arnaud! Congrats :)

Beautyful owl :) I have been searching that too but haven't find it yet

Thank you !!! I will definitely get the new snowy owl but I don't know when. It could be in more than a year !

Maybe one day, Roger !

Hey don't forget about the Kaiyodo Long-eared Owl, one of my favorites!

Here is a large, old owl from Schleich :

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

He is part of a small range of mascots, as far as I know they were made for the base ball teams of some American Universities .
I have a rat also

Does any of our American friends know anything about those teams ? - Or perhaps their Dad or Grandad does ? The logos were used in the years 1957 - 1962 :

The logo says Schleich Biegefiguren ( Schleich Bendies), but they are not bendies, they are very heavy, solid, hard rubber

Crow I love your kaiyodo owl!!

Susanne, your rice owl I've never seen before, he's great!

:) :)

Rice is nice!!

Ana, your magnet-owl is lovely

Anna I love your snowy owls the Kaiyodo Magnet is gorgeous

Thank You very much Harriet and Susanne I also like this Kayiodo magnet very much :) But I think my favorite is Safari Snowy Owl

Beautiful owls, Ana! :)
I've never felt tempted with the Safari snowy owl but I know you and Kiki love it a lot. Who knows I put it in my wish list to make pair with the new Schleich when I find it.
I love a lot the CollectA barn owl but in the middle there's a little and cute bird with magnetic eyes!

That magnet is gorgeous! Too bad it isn't a whole owl

Beautiful owls Ana, I like them all

That's a beautiful Owls greeting card, Ana!

Thank You very much Roger, Kiki, Magda and Ken.
Roger : I love Safari Snowy Owl the pose is beautiful, it's easy to imagine wind between her feathers :) And I think it would be interesting to make pair with Schleich one, but one of them would need repaint, otherwise You would have pair of two females :) Males are all white, aren't they?
Magda Yes, it's shame it isn't complete owl. I considered to sculpt rest of her body
