Giant Eurasian Eagle-Owl Takes Flight Off of a House and Gently Lands on a Woman’s Head

A gorgeous Eurasian eagle-owl in Noordeinde, Netherlands took flight off the roof of a house and gently landed on the head of a woman who had the good sense to raise her hood before the noble creature landed.

(Translated from Dutch) Tonight I went to the Eagle Owl in Noordeinde while shooting landed the Eagle Owl with Marianne on the head. The dear animal is totally not aggressive and it was a super experience for Marianne as an animal lover. Is this the secret of happiness?

The couple captured additional footage of the eagle-owl a few weeks later.
