“A wise old owl sat on an oak” starts a short poem that basically tells us it’s better to keep quiet, listen, and learn. But you don’t need an oak to have a wise-looking owl in your yard – or at least a statue of one!
Owls have, for millennia, been a sign of wisdom. Many species within the owl family are also amazing nocturnal hunters. There are a lot of things that may attract us to them. And there are a lot of great decorations of owls for your yard, too. Even if you can’t hear real owls hooting, you can at least add their image to your yard.
We’ve picked some of our favorite owl garden statues and we’re sharing them with you here. They’re great for perching on fences, benches, porches, or wherever you’d like. We hope you’ll like them as much as we do!
We do want to point out that the statues we’ve chosen aren’t the type you’d use to scare away other birds. These are more decorative pieces.
Owl Garden Statue With LED Lights
This fun and artsy piece will also add some light to your yard!
This cross-eyed owl is decorated with flowers across his body. LED lights form the center of most of the flowers.
It’s also solar-powered – it will charge during the day through a light receptor on top of its head. It takes 5-8 hours of light to charge it, and from that it can stay lit for 8 to 10 hours.
It’s a unique look with a certain appeal. For us, it was a taste that grew on us.
The piece measures 10.5 inches tall and 6 inches wide. It has a flat base to stand on any surface. It’s made of resin and has a UV-resistant coating to help prevent fading.
It weights about 1.8 pounds.
The only drawback we see is that the back is plain. It’s simple grey resin. That’s fine if it’s in a corner or facing away from where you pass, but it would have been nice if it were a 360° piece.
Chenyu Collectibles Owl Statue
This owl is more realistic than the one above. It’s a nice piece for a ledge – perhaps an outside windowsill, a railing along the deck, or as a centerpiece on the picnic table. A quick glance out the window and you may forget it’s not the real thing!
The owl stares at you fiercely as if its evaluating whether you’re friend or foe. The statue makes it appear as if it’s perched.
This is a ceramic sculpture and measures 7.1 inches tall. It weighs just over 11 ounces.
Exhart Owl with Owlet Garden Statue
We love this cute statue of a mother owl and her owlet (yup, that’s the correct term for a baby owl!)
Although there’s not much information in the name and the wrong product is described on Amazon (as of our writing, at least), this also has a light inside that glows softly at night. There’s a solar charging panel on the back of statue.
This resin statue portrays the two owls and their eyes seem to actually convey emotion. It’s really fantastic!
They’re created as a single resin piece measuring 11 inches tall. It’s hand-painted and coated to protect from UV rays.
This statue weighs 3 pounds, so it’s pretty stable. The base is flat so it will sit well on most flat surfaces.
Design Toscano Perching Forest Owl Statue
We can hardly find a category of statuary where Design Toscano doesn’t have one of the best pieces. They don’t disappoint with this owl!
Fashioned of resin with crushed stone, this piece is 17 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide. It weights almost 4 pounds, making it a large, hefty piece. It’s actually hollow inside but the bottom is solid to keep it from tipping over.
This statue is hand-painted, which always means there will be some slight variation. However, our experience with the brand has always been good.
It’s definitely a piece that will attract a lot of admiration!
Sunnydaze Owl Duo on Tree Stump Garden Statue
With this piece, you get not one but two owls and their tree stump, too! We really love this piece and it will look great in the corner of our patio.
One owl perches on top of a stump while the other is inside a hollow. It’s got a lot of detail, which makes it a wonderful piece.
The piece is made of polyresin. It weighs 9.8 pounds and is 31.25 inches tall.
Wrapping It Up
Give a hoot and decorate your yard or patio with a magnificent owl statue! We love these birds and we know you do too. Hope to see one of these statues in your yard soon. If you’ve seen other great ones, let us know!
