Boobook Owl

Whooo's ready for a nighttime adventure? Say hello to the Boobook Owl – a tiny but wise friend who loves swooping into stories under the stars! Soft, snuggly, and full of quiet charm, this puppet brings Australia’s smallest owl to life right on your hand.

In Aboriginal Australian culture, the Boobook Owl is more than just a cute face – it's a creature of deep meaning. In many Dreamtime stories, owls are seen as messengers from the spirit world, reminding us to listen closely, learn from the land, and respect the wisdom of the ancestors.

In the Yugara language of South East Queensland, the Boobook Owl is called “Ruru”. Some Aboriginal communities associate owls with watchfulness, protection, and guidance in the dark. Their gentle “boo-book” call is said to echo the voices of Elders past, watching over Country.

With big, beady eyes and soft wings to flap, Ruru the owl is the perfect companion for bedtime tales, classroom adventures, or magical make-believe games. Let this wise little watcher guide your storytelling journey – and whooo knows what you might discover?
