As Halloween draws near, humans and animals alike are getting into the "spirit". Lets us introduce you to Oakley the great horned owl, who, while recovering at the Eagle Valley Raptor Center near Cheney, Kansas, learned to imitate his bff, a musical, mechanical owl. They were definitely in the Halloween spirit as the rocked with Bobby 'Boris' Pickett and his 1962 smash "The Monster Mash" in this 2012 clip.

Oakley was found in 2012, abandoned as just a hatchling on a golf course. The owl was introduced to his bff as a way of making him accustomed to other owls. After being rehabilitated and taught the ways of owlhood, he was re-released into the wild 3 months later, where he continues to flourish. Its not sure if he has added other musical numbers to his repertoire.
