About these owl coloring pages

These owls are drawn to look friendly rather than fierce: big round eyes with ringed edges, a small hooked beak, pointed ear tufts, and a chest covered in rows of little scallop feathers. The plainest pages show one owl and its perch, a bare branch, a tree stump or a low rock, with the bird facing you, tilting its head, waving a wing or flying straight toward you with both wings out. A night page sets an owl under a crescent moon and stars, and one young owl stands beside a hollow tree trunk with an arched opening. A group of cool-weather pages wraps owls in striped scarves, hands one a steaming mug, gives another a big acorn to hug, and scatters fallen leaves around an owl carrying a lantern. The rest are small daily routines: reading on a stump among mushrooms, holding a teacup, standing in rain boots under an umbrella, strumming a guitar, watering flowers, heading off with a backpack and a book, peering through a telescope, or sitting inside a round flower wreath.

Coloring tips

  • Most real owls are brown, gray or tawny with paler, speckled fronts; a barn owl is golden buff on the back with a white face and chest, and a snowy owl is white with dark flecks.
  • Color the ring of feathers around the eyes lighter than the body; on real owls this round face disk helps steer sound toward the ears.
  • Real owl eyes are yellow, orange or very dark brown depending on the species, so pick one and keep a small white shine spot.
  • Shade the scallop feathers from the top down, lighter on the upper rows and darker toward the feet, to make the chest look round.

Questions about owl coloring pages

Are owl ear tufts real ears?

No. The pointed tufts on top of the head are only feathers. An owl's real ears are openings on the sides of the head, hidden under the face feathers.

Can an owl turn its head all the way around?

Not quite, but close: an owl can turn its head about three quarters of a circle, because its eyes are fixed in place. The owl tilting its head on this page shows the curious look owls give when they study something.

Do you have owl coloring pages for fall?

Yes. The owls in striped scarves, the owl hugging an acorn and the owl with a lantern among fallen leaves all fit an autumn classroom or a cozy afternoon.
