Hoot Hoot! Hooting Owl

Place this decorative owl in your garden and listen to it hooting when the wind blows by!

Put the owl on a stick or just put it on at a windy place.

The right angle of attack is from the side: Place  it at a spot where where wind blows by such that the window “blows over” the slit at the front, i.e., the wind blows at the owl from the side.

To silence the owl, simply turn it away from the wind. Depending on the strength and continuity of the wind, the owl will only occasionally hoot — it creates no noise disturbances! 

Note: You must scale the Hooting Owl to the desired size

Height of 24cm for a richer, deeper sound
 

18cm Version with a lighter sound

Print Settings

• Scale the model to the size you want! The larger the owl, the richer and deeper the sound! A height of at least 15cm is recommended!
• Layer Height: 0.2mm
• Supports: only one needed at the tip of the beak; use an enforcer and organic
• Material: I used stone or wood PLA but you can experiment with other materials as well, e.g., glow in the dark!
