Owl Steals Child's Toy Hobby Horse, Flies Like Witch On Broomstick

Eric Lind is an school network administrator. He was spending some quality time at his parents’ house in Eureka, Illinois, when life presented such a treat before him. He captured the magical great horned owl on camera as it flew through the sky carrying a child’s stick horse toy, similar to how the classic witch rides her broom. Eric pointed out the owl did not appear injured or entangled in the toy, so you can enjoy the video without distress.

The post exploded in popularity. It was Lind's first Facebook post since February, and it currently has over 101,000 shares. The video alone was viewed more than 5 million times and has led to many funny comments like: "That's just some young wizards owl, bringing them their limited edition pony-head quidditch broom." Someone else wrote: "All it needs is the Wicked Witch of the West music."
