Patch 1.12.1 | Posted: September 25, 2012
This wild pet spawns in Winterspring but only during winter months.
Starts spawning: December 21
Stops spawning: March 20
Although it was first spotted November 1, 2012 and continued to spawn until March 1, 2013, Blizzard has since changed the spawning of this pet to correspond with the Northern Hemisphere real-world seasons. This means the Snowy Owl will begin spawning at the start of the winter solstice.

Winterspring's furbolg prize the brilliant white feathers of these majestic creatures for ritual purposes.
They're up. Just caught one 12/21/2023 3:04AM EST. Right near Mazthoril. Dalaran server.
Caught a rare blue at 47, 59 in Winterspring.
Came across several over the weekend and got excited to catch and sale extras, because I'm a poor Druid. Nope, not cageable. My visions of $$ dashed.
They are up again. End this horrible year by completing this achivement!
Snowy Owl is up! Happy hunting!
Merry Christmas, pet hunters. Snowy Owls are up and flying.
Confirmed they are up. Just captured one
Been hunting them most of the day with no luck. Are they a 2nd to any of the others in the zone or the primary?
These are now spawning and ready for people to collect :)
It is tied to the real world seasons so whatever day your calendar lists as winter solstice is when they pop. They are up right now.
On another thread, it states that the Snowy Owl pops between December 21sts and March 21st only ... during winter months. Plz verify and fix information?
December 1st. I've been here about an hour and killed LITERALLY every pet in the entire area, then flew around 2 more times. Not a one here. I believe the rumor of a December 1st spawn is wrong.
On 2/4/16, 7:30 ET I spent less than 30 minutes collecting all three breeds. Just flew the paths spamming this macro:
/cleartarget
/tar Snowy Owl
/stopmacro [noexists]
/script PlaySound("RaidWarning")
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,"Snowy Owl!", ChatTypeInfo["RAID_WARNING"])
Now granted I didn't get a rare, but with battle stones as easy to get as they are that wasn't a big deal to me. Best of luck!
Starting at about 11 am Dalaran time I began battling Snowy Owls. On the 7th battle I managed to get a B/B Uncommon and called it a day. On my way toward Timbermaw I ran across Owl #8 and "What the heck!" I went for it. A Rare P/B popped up. I have to give the Pet Tracker addon a big thumbs up for my success. I was following the map and "connecting the dots' (spawn sites). Thank you for including addon information in your guides.Â
Finally found one after about a week of searching, battled and DCed right before I won and now it's gone :cries:
These were all over right after server restart- if you can wait until the next restart you will have your pick managed to get an uncommon one that was right in front of me after logging in after restart, flew around just to see if there were more ran across 5 or 6 easily, good luck!
Finally after patrolling the zone for days, I found one in Frostwhisper Gorge at 62, 86. Swooped down to fight him (very carefully fight!) and not two seconds later I see someone watching me- probably mad because I found the only Snowy Owl in existance!!!! D:
As of 2 hours 15 minutes ago these flyers officially started spawning on ALL European realms. Get out there and start taming!
December 20 and I have not yet located snowy owl...my last for safari too
First comment since March. Dropped by in the crazy hope there was some secret way to geta Snowy Owl before December 1st, but I guess not. Only pet left for my Kalimdor Safari.Â
