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.

But while many found humor in the situation, some expressed concern for the owl's well-being. Addressing these concerns, Lind clarified, "For those of you questioning if the owl is hurt or "entangled" in the stick horse….we have no reason to believe this is the case as we witnessed the owl moving the horse around and even changing it's grip on it at one point….this owl is part of a family of owls that have been in the neighborhood for about 6 months now, and this is one of the young owls…if someone sees that the owl is in danger or believes it is hurt, I'm sure the proper authorities would be contacted…"
