Owl is a fictional character in A. A.
Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books and in Disney's Winnie the Pooh cartoons. Owl's character is obviously based on the
stereotype of the "wise old owl", although in the books, the quality of Owl's
"wisdom" is sometimes questionable. Owl can spell his name ("Wol") and the word
"Tuesday" (so that you know it isn't Wednesday), but his spelling goes all to
pieces over delicate words like measles and buttered toast. He can also read, although only if no-one is
looking over his shoulder.
The Owl is
the wise old bird in the 100 Acre Wood, while he is such an intelligent bird, he
is treated as a flyer.
He lives in the Chestnuts, 100 Acre Wood East, earlier,
now he lives in the Wolery ( which was Piglets house), 100 Acre Wood Southwest.

Owl is a good friend of Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin,
and all the other inhabitants of the Forest.
He is always happy to offer his opinions, advice, and
anecdotes - whether or not they are actually wanted.
Owl also enjoys telling stories about his relatives, including
his aunt who laid a seagull's egg by mistake and his
Uncle Robert who once survived a very blusterous day.
 In the
Winnie-the-Pooh book, Owl lives in a tree known as The Chestnuts, located in the
middle of the Hundred Acre Wood
and described as an "old world residence of great charm" which
is grand enough to have both a door-knocker and a bell-pull.
That house is blown down by a storm in the eighth chapter of
The House at Pooh Corner.
Eeyore eventually discovers what he believes is the perfect
new house for Owl, apparently without noticing that it is actually Piglet's
house.
Nonetheless, Piglet offers the house to Owl, and he presumably
moves in.
Owl made a sign indicating that he planned to call his new
house "The Wolery".

Unlike most of the original cast of the books, the
illustrations of Owl look more like a live animal than a stuffed one.
This idea is also supported by Rabbit's comment to him, "You
and I have brains. The others have fluff."
In Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, Owl appears to be about
a head shorter than Pooh, and a little below hip-height to Christopher Robin.
He is sometimes but not always drawn wearing reading glasses.
When the illustrations show him writing, he holds the pen in
his talons, not with his wing.

He tells always wise storries to everyone who want to listen, even they don't. That's why he is
sometimes realy boring. He helpt the other animals. Hal Smith did the voice of
the Owl in the Disney Winnie the Pooh movies.
After his death, Andre Stojka replaced him as the voice of Owl.
