Owl advised them regarding romantic matters, admonishing them to never become "twitterpatted," as he put it. After reuniting with his friend, he took it upon himself to serve as a mentor to him and his friends of roughly the same age, Thumper and Flower. īambi and Friend Owl apparently spent some time apart as Bambi was growing up, as Owl did not immediately recognize an adult Bambi. Bambi was at first afraid of the big-eyed owl, but he soon warmed up to him. He was among a group of forest animals who visited the newborn fawn and his mother at their den. Bambiįriend Owl was present in the life of his friend, Bambi, since shortly after the latter's birth. Friend Owl eventually managed to find a new mother for Bambi in the form of Mena, a childhood friend of Bambi's mother, but she proved unnecessary when the Great Prince, taking the initial advice of his feathery friend, changed his mind and decided to raise his son apparently on his own. Owl recommended that the Great Prince simply take on the responsibility of raising the fawn, but the old buck refused. The Great Prince then recruited his fowl friend to find an eligible doe to raise his now-motherless son, Bambi. When the Great Prince's mate was killed, Friend Owl was the first one to meet with him and check on him. The Great Prince trusts Owl, while Owl is more than willing to assist the stag in any ways necessary. Relationships The Great Prince of the Forestįriend Owl and the Great Prince of the Forest seem to be good friends. įriend Owl is also very intelligent, employing use of big words and even dreaming of becoming an academic leader in the forest.
This fear might also be due to the carnivorous diet of many owls and, presumably, Friend Owl himself.ĭespite his initial grumpiness, Friend Owl can still be warm, friendly, and helpful, happily assisting his friends, such as the Great Prince of the Forest, in whatever tasks necessary. His testiness seems to cause a deal of respect or fear of him in the forest, as he was once able to make many animals leave from Bambi's mother's den just by glaring at them. In fact, he uses the phrase "twitterpated" to mock the concept of falling in love and urges his protegés - Bambi, Thumper, and Flower - to abstain from twitterpation. įriend Owl also has a rather cynical view of the world, viewing romantic partnerships as a dangerous thing to be avoided. Thus, his rest time coincides with the most energetic part of the day for most other creatures, leaving him prone to be awoken by his noisy neighbors. In fairness to him, he seems to only sleep during day as he was once seen coming to his home in the hollow of a tree and beginning to sleep just as most animals were waking up. He is seen to be irritated when his sleeping is interrupted by birds singing Let's Sing a Gay Little Spring Song, Thumper yelling at him, or a stag rubbing his antlers against his chosen tree. He was seen when both Bambi and his children, Geno and Gurri are born.įriend Owl is generally a stuffy old fellow who dislikes to be bothered.
