Family's volleyball match gets hilariously hijacked by an unexpected feathery guest

For centuries, owls, the silent, watchful guardians, have been regarded as one of the most mysterious creatures of the animal kingdom. But, just like everyone had different shades, owls too sometimes put their quirky and playful side on display. A similar situation was caught on camera when a family, completely engaged in a volleyball match, suddenly had a visitor. Well, an incredible video posted on Sevdim Bunu (@sevdimbunu) on X captured an owl hilariously photobombing their video, and their reaction was just adorable.

It so happened that the family had set up a camera to record their volleyball match, and suddenly an owl came into the picture. Interestingly, the mysterious bird sat right in front of the camera, as if wanting to be a part of the recording. But what makes the incident even more special is the way the family reacted to the unexpected visitor. Instead of being scared or shooing it away, the family turned it into a picture-perfect moment. They came together, just behind the owl, and posed for a happy family picture. Interestingly, even when the family came a little closer to the bird, it didn't budge from its place like it had known them for years. "While a family is playing volleyball and taking a video, an owl enters the frame, and the world becomes beautiful for a while," read the now-viral video's caption.

The hilarious video on X received an overwhelming response on the platform, with over 4 million views online. (The comments have been translated into English). Reacting to the clip, @5m_crafts commented, "The owl was just there to remind everyone who the real champion is." @kabatselvan wrote, "What eccentric things people experience; we are happy if we catch the bus in the morning." @shanali817 pointed out, "Sometimes a simple moment can contain such beautiful surprises." @hobikutusu wrote, "The first thing to love here is that a family plays volleyball." @yuka1323922 commented, "I think they are foreigners; our people would probably throw stones there."

On the other hand, @parisli9500 commented, "Look at the comfort of the bird, as if it were his phone!" @ovmerf shared, "The burrowing owl is a species native to the Americas." On a lighter note, @theavucat said, "If it were us, they would throw onions at anyone who would leave the house dead." @varla_yok_gibi commented, "I think the owl meets the camera, or rather, it could be himself, reflected in the camera in the middle of the night, watching himself as if to say, 'Who is this being in the foreground?'"

In another story, two men gained attention for saving an owl that was lost at sea. An incredible video posted by someone who goes by u/axlnotfound on Reddit shows the owl sitting on the rod attached to the boat. "Homeboy is lost, 20+ miles out," read the caption in the video. Moreover, in the very next clip, the bird is seen resting in the man's arms while being wrapped in a cloth. "The boy is lost. Let's take him," the man said to his friend. Towards the end of the video, the boys finally released the bird, letting it fly towards its home.
