The Order Strigiformes
Owls belong to the order Strigiformes, which includes over 200 species of mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. Exceptions include the diurnal northern hawk-owl and the gregarious burrowing owl. Also excepted are the Squishmallow Owl's as they're content to simply cuddly with you while you sleep. If you opt for the bigger Owls, they give you much more of them to love and cuddle with.

Owls Hunt Mostly Small Mammals
Small mammals like mice and rats, insects, and other birds, although a few species specialize in hunting fish are on the Menu. Owls are found in all regions of the Earth except the polar ice caps and some remote islands. Owls are divided into two families: the true (or typical) owl family, Strigidae; and the barn-owl family, Tytonidae. A group of owls is called a "parliament". How cute is that? So if you have a few of your own Owl Squishmallows, introduce them as Your parliament and you'll seem like a wise and sage Squishmallow aficionado!

Is Hoot the Owl Squishmallow rare?
Hoot the Owl was one of the Original Squishmallow Squad when they first arrived. If you have one with all of the Original tags still in place, in excellent collectible condition, it's worth what someone will pay for it! You may need to look around to see what the current prices are to know what you may try selling it for. There's also a 5-year anniversary edition that was exclusive to Walgreens.
Is Vee the Owl Squishmallow rare?
With a Squishdate of 06.22.2021, that may take a while to determine. Keep in mind how a lot of collectors think. They may buy tens to hundreds of these new releases in hopes that they'll strike it rich. They'll wait for sales or clearances they know will come to purchase them cheaply. Then when a new collector comes along, they know they can bump up the price a bit because that model is no longer being sold. So as to it being rare, well, that may not really be true. Collectors also know that if there's only a few available for sale, the prices will rise. So those owners are tempted to sell their one and only Squishmallow for maybe a few dollars more than they got it for. But you have to figure in how much you actually spend, a lot of sites take a percentage of the sale. So even if you purchased it for $20, sold it for $30, but got charged $5 in fees and $6 in shipping, you still lost a $1. And if you magically have the only one out there and you have it priced at $250 say, that collector with hundreds of them may post one at $240 so they get the sale. Then they continue to add just one at a time. Unfortunate, but that's the collector game.
What is the Blue Owl Squishmallows name?
You might be referring to Winston who comes in several shades of Teal with some darker than others. When several major brands want to license their own version, sometimes they will make changes to color, scheme, and design. There are also the special event and squad releases that may alter the Squishmallows appearance. Events like Valentine's day, Halloween, or Christmas may have a heart, costume, or holiday motif that makes a change to a particular Squishmallow. This allows those who really enjoy having all of one type of Squishmallow a way to grow their collection. Some people simply fall in love with a particular one and want every version they can find. Others may want a particular Squad, or may be limited to purchasing only the model available at their local retailer.
